Where Do We (Virtually) Go From Here?
Last night, in conversation with colleagues during a writing group meeting — and, as an accumulation of many ideas, from numerous conversations in the past week — I shared an idea, probably not a completely original one, but one that garnered some conversation on Twitter nonetheless.

My Digital Reading Practices, Part 5
In response to one of my earlier posts this week, Will Richardson asked: So without going down the rabbit hole completely, how do you decide what feeds to read, which Flipboard magazines to sub, which Twitter users to trust enough to follow, etc.?
