Reviews. Since November, I've been writing blog reviews for San Francisco magazine. They're not online, but I've made some rough pdfs for your reading pleasure: on SF Supervisor Chris Daly's blog, local photo blogs, a cool local podcast called Sparkletack, and Mother Jones.com's man in the Middle East, David Enders. (The files are heavily compressed so they load quickly, so just enlarge them when they open.)

Georgia dispatch. I've finally gotten around to posting a long piece from Georgia; this one was picked up then dropped, in various forms, by various media outlets last year. In the end, it never ran. Seems a shame not to do something with it, so here it is. A snapshot of Georgia, about a year after the "Rose revolution."
