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.

When a severe thunderstorm blew through Columbia, Mo., yesterday, I set up my Flip Mino inside a window overlooking Ninth and Broadway, and later sped up the footage on my iMac to about 100x with Final Cut Express, just for fun.

Child is screaming for mom to get the oil off her. Thousands of very fresh tar balls rolling in on Destin Beach. Kid with oil stuck on her! Destin Beach, Fl. June 23rd, 2010.

No Pulitzer Prize has ever gone to a more courageous, deserving, hard-working or dedicated duo than Barbara Laker and Wendy Ruderman of the Philadelphia Daily News, who took Investigative Reporting honors yesterday for their “Tainted Justice” report.

What is Ushahidi? from Ushahidi on Vimeo.

I caught the buzz around Ushahidi at SXSW last week, and in the New York Times, but had no clue to their reach until I spent some time at their site just now. http://www.ushahidi.com/

Could this be a clue to the future of news reporting as well? I will be keeping an eye on this.
