Writer links to his own Newsvine column
My third Newsvine column has arrived. With the Superbowl coming up this Sunday, I decided to unleash my crazy idea to re-invent the NFL schedule.

Final thoughts on BlogNashville
Now that BlogNashville is in the rear-view mirror, I have two final thoughts. My first comment is a big yee haw! If you click the fuzzy picture up top here, you’ll see a full-size screenshot of Blogdex, a service that essentially takes a snapshot of the most popular links around the blogosphere on a given…
