I write so infrequently these days that I doubt I will drum up any traffic for my friends, but a couple of ‘em have started blogging, and I might as well do my part. In reverse order of when I met them:
Toni - host of the Towne House poker games - has decided to start a poker blog. Rechristening herself “Lady Falcon,” Toni is blogging at Lady Poker Player and starts with a very Albomicly titled post. Pauly will be happy to note that her blog matches her chips.
David Levine went to college and law school with Brother of Ugarte and is now doing a fellowship with Lawrence Lessig at the Center for Internet and Society. Because Lessig is an internet guy, all of the fellows have to blog. Have. To. Blog. So David, blogging under the name “David Levine” blogs at Levine Blog.
Finally, [name withheld] and I have been sharing misanthropic and generally contemptuous thoughts about the world since high school. He has decided to take his loathing public. Under the nom-de-blog Old Hickory, [name withheld] spews bile about movies (in scene-by-scene dissections), restaurants and whatever else happens to piss him off at Hated It!, A Curmudgeons Guide To Horrible Movies and Other Social Ills. There is very little love there.
