Anna Czerny interviewed me for a small feature on blogs and the war for this year’s last issue of one of my alma mater’s newspapers. First time in a while I’ve been interviewed, and I forgot how easily details can be erroneously simplified (e.g., the origins of warblogging). But that just show’s the advantages of this medium in that I, as an interview subject, can use it to clarify any points I choose. Despite that minor quibble and my questionable grammar, it is a good overview (then again, I’m likely biased as I’m quoted liberally).

J.D. Lasica pointed to a Stuart Hughes’ blog. Hughes is a journalist who was covering the war in Iraq — and his blog shows how powerful the form can be as a complement to a journalist’s traditional filings. Especially during this war.

Over the past six months, my employer has blocked more than half-a-million messages (about 12 percent) of all incoming email as spam. January and March were the worst months.
