In the nick of time

Posted by: Jim MacMillan | Comments (0)

I have only been back in town for a about a week, but long enough to slip under the wire for some sweet new Philly honors.

Thanks to Philly Mag‘s Philly Post – and the Technically Philly team - I found myself in the pack between a Miss Pennsylvania and an Eagles tight end today, all named among Philadelphia’s 10 Most Influential Twitter users.

Next, now that I am beginning to settle back into Center City life, I think it might be time to return to a little more blogging as well, perhaps even when I’m not blowing my own horn. Meanwhile, I have a few more plans in the works, and I am still in pursuit of some others, but hope to have some announcements soon.

Thanks again and congratulations to my fellow honorees.

Too close for comfort

I set up my iPhone at my living room window during a thunderstorm last night, and caught a lightning bolt striking across the street.

Something more for journalism students to think about.
