Sidebar makes me feel brand new

I have deleted many links from my sidebar and changed it to mostly reflect what I am doing and who among my friends maintain active blogs.  I figure even though it is nice to link to blogs that I like, you have probably heard of Kottke or DCist before and don’t need me to tell you about them.  In short, I have made this blog more self-promoting, which I guess dovetails with this whole j-school thing.  Okay, enough from me!
