BLOGERRAZZI IN THE PICAYUNE

The NOLA bloggers are everywhere. Educator, bon vivant, bible dude and retired punk idol, Michael Homan has an erudite piece about pub ed on the op-ed page. It's very thoughtful and showcases Mike's serious side but rumor has it that he wrote it whilst wearing his blue green gator shoes and beer-holder hat gizmo. Party on, Professor.

Editor B and his charming wife, XY, are again featured by Stephanie Bruno as a part of her  "long road home" series. Our boy Bart brought up the subject of Geek Dinner III and dropped the dime on some of his colleagues: "Everson says the "geek dinners" -- potluck suppers that bring together members of the local neighborhood action and blogging communities -- happen frequently, if irregularly.

Besides, I already have an enormous cartoonlike head so I think I'm safe...

Speaking of Loki, I introduced him to an old friend of mine the other day. He was a bit knackered from working long hours during the WWOZ tin cup rattling fest. She thought he was hilarious and lively but was surprised to hear that she hadn't experienced the full Loki effect. Mind you, he seemed more caffeinated than the average Joe but he only spoke at the rate of 44 words per second instead of 90. I explained to her that she had met Low-key as opposed to Loki....
