Notes:
I'm glad people enjoyed the Why Hate Toronto piece. It gave me an excuse to say some things I wanted to say about my adopted home. :)
Elvis keeps on rolling as my most popular post ever. The weird thing is, no one's commented to date and no trackbacks have been detected. Weird.
Visitors to this blog apparently can't get enough Strombo! I wonder if it's one person obsessively clicking on them over and over again. But who could it be ...? :)
I'm glad Akin on blogging turned into a bit of a discussion -- even if I had to appear to be dissing poor David in order to trigger it. :)
Why are people interested in CanWest's commuter tab?
Troubles in CAJ-Land is an important topic. When you have a board of a journalists' organization with apparently diminished powers of judgment, it's bad for the craft in this country.
Liberals holding up got a push from some outside links (thanks myblahg!).
Deep Throat Dying is kinda interesting, and News flash is tribute to the fact that if you can write something with the words sex and blogs as keywords, it's gonna be read! :)
Ms. Zerbisias had a good story on Mr. Fraser's departure (it's something that went pretty much undiscussed on CAJ-L).
Barbara Black -- poor little former rich girl. :)
I wish I could have written a better tribute to Bob Marley, although I'm glad people seemed to get value out of the links collection.
My wish list
Here's a few stories that I hoped/thought would have gotten more traffic:
Iranian journalist, blogger imprisoned for 14 years (Feb. 24)
