Blogmaps and other diversions  

The Chicago Blogmap is off to a great start - thanks to everyone who's linked to it. So far there are around 50 blogs listed, and the news is only just now spreading to the LiveJournal community. I also got my first big media link (sort of) - but all the credit should go to Don Bruns, the real man behind the curtains.

Also, while I haven't actually written anything yet, I'm going to be covering Indiana for the Political State Report from time to time.
