Book Nut The 2010 reading challenge
When I returned to Douglas and Main after another disappearance I promised, to myself, that I would get caught up on reading the blogs (my Google Reader stops counting at 1000+ and it was pegged there) and not go past the first of the year for blog posts. I lied.
I have a few links that were sitting around gathering dusts and I couldn’t just, you know, delete them. So for the next few posts I bring you a few of your blogging thoughts that I liked but did not get to before 2010 began.
As with all Douglas and Main posts you can read them or not read them. Just be sure my check arrives on time.

A group of 12-14 can reserve a table and package together for a couple of hours. That’s what, half the staff of Verb[ICT]? Or Naked City Magazine?
If any bloggers want to share in the fun together, email me and we’ll claim a table. The tumblr bloggers alone could staff half the event.
