can't wait until he's in a group of his peers

if you happen to check on the official finkipedia blogs, you might notice that delegate steve's blog now redirects to a new site: steve shannon for attorney general. steve's been in the virginia house of delegates for a while now, and is trying to take his platform of support for the police and victim's rights to the office of the attorney general for the commonwealth.

check out the site and support him with your good wishes and even a few sheckels if you so choose. i'd love to be able to blog about steve meeting his colleagues from other states, if for no other reason than to use use one of my all-time favorite pluralizations.

21st century digital boy

everyone's favorite futurist, uncle googs, has decided to go back to the future and take blogging to another level. his eponymously titled endeavor can be found at googs.tumblr.com (and of course now on the finkipedia faves list to the right).

tumblogs are the next generation of blogs, evolving from traditional blogs and sites like twitter. consider it a place for quick anecdotes, links to the news of the day and to sites that all the cool kids are checking out. sorry, despite his title- no lottery numbers.

he may get stupid, i mean outrageous

hope you're checking in at least occasionally on the official finkipedia-endorsed blogs. we know you have many choices in blogs, and appreciate your business.

here's one more for you, just kicked off yesterday. i've got an idea that i want to share is a project of official finkipedia cardshark and rap impresario 2white. if the inaugural post is any indicator, his rants will not exactly be the quick 2-minute read that this blog tends to be, but should be interesting and engaging enough to draw you in. if you're a sports fan or just love a good debate, i think you'll find 2white's blog VERY enjoyable.

in the future, TV's will watch us instead

more FoF's in print- this time, official finkipedia futurist and brother-in-law (national division) googs is featured in a TV week interview about the future of television.

no mention anywhere in the interview about whether the success of the recent "knight rider" movie will finally get that rumored "momma's family" miniseries off the storyboards and into our living rooms.

support our troops

in case anyone's up tomorrow AM, check out the CBS early morning show about 7:15AM- a good friend of mine from the air force currently overseas will be featured on the show. can't tell you much more because there's some kind of surprise involved with family, but it will be neat to say that there's only one degree of separation between you and someone on national TV!

FoF's in the news

here's a short piece from the washington post featuring official finkipedia economist and sister-in-law (national division) RK-K.

supports both the arguments of teachers that they work hard outside the classroom, and the arguments of others that teachers overall work less than other professions.

i'd like to see a financial analysis based on the hours worked of the true hourly rate of a teacher's salary vs. other professions. that would be interesting, and most likely very disappointing.

yay! new e-friends!

the online finkiverse is expanding again. you'll notice a new official finkipedia-endorsed blog, lovemomworklife. authored by one half of one of my favorite duos in the world, n. is a great friend and the wife of my college roommate, bucket. (maybe she'll let him guest-post as to the origin of that nickname).

definitely plenty of blog material for her- a beautiful family, a career in advertising, and an ongoing renovation of her 100+ year old hudson river valley home. and she uses capital letters, so if you're into that kind of stuff, check it out.
