HEY THERE, BLOG! HOW'S THINGS?

Ok... where were we? Gawker reports that former TDP features editor Matt Dellinger may or may not have been arrested for the public consumption of Brooklyn's finest lager. We're not really sure. Bloggers aren't so much into tracking down "facts" as much as repeating "rumors" and "innuendo." Glad I could do my part. I was, however, surprised to see Dellinger pop up on Gawker's radar. But then I realized he's been on there quite a bit (see Not all history is written by the winners, New Yorker vs. CJR, Survival of the prettiest, and One of these things is not like the other). Frankly, though, I have no need to read Internet reports of Matt's "well-oiled machine" thank you very much. So I'm not sure whether Dellinger's stock has gone up in my book or if Gawker's stock has gone down. I'm leaning towards the latter. MAIL BAG: Mike wants to hear my take on the iPod Nano. Mike, clearly, is a fool because my take on the iPod Mini was that it was too expensive and nobody would buy it. So what do I know. Instead, check out the iTunes 5 Announcement From the Perspective of an Anthropomorphized Brushed Metal User Interface Theme. Meanwhile Weaver wants to hear my take on the newly redesigned IndyStar.com. Well, I think it's great! A redesign befitting Indiana's No. 1 Local Media Site!
