by Colin Donohue I’ve always loved the idea of “emptying the notebook” on this here blog. Justin did it a couple of posts back, and I know I’ve done something similar here and/or at the old blog stompin’ grounds. (Also: The running diary concept is great.

By Justin Cherot I’ve tried this a couple of times on the old BETA Live From the Nosebleeds site, but essentially the gimmick with “The Notebook” is this: a smattering of thoughts that pop into my size seven head (by New Era standards), none of which are either big enough for an entire post or … Read more
