Did I just disappear for more than a week with no explanation? Yes, yes I did. I was in the great Pacific Northwest for the holidays, with limited Internet access and no unguarded wireless networks within the vicinity of my parents’ suburban Portland house.
I apologize especially to anyone who found this site for the first time because of my successful Person of the Year prediction, only to find nothing new following it for days afterward. That’s certainly no way to build an audience. However, many thanks to many bloggers, plus Jim Romenesko at Poynter.org, Howard Kurtz at the Washington Post and Greg Connors at the Buffalo News for helping this site finally become the top result at Google when you run a search on my name.
The bad news (for me) is that I have to work part of this week before New Year’s, but the good news (for you) is that Blog P.I. will be ramping up again quickly and making up for lost time.
That’s more than enough meta for now; real posts with actual content should appear in this space almost before you know it.
