Phew - another day spent editing the Uses of Blogs [6] book with Jo Jacobs [7]; we're now very close to sending off the manuscript to Peter Lang [8] for editorial comments and proofreading. This has turned out to be a very strong collection of essays on blogs and blogging from a wide range of perspectives, and I think it will do very well. And nothing against our original cast of contributors, but we've added a few [9] more [10] authors [11] in the last few months, and they've made quite an impact as well.

Also some good news for my collaborators Liz Ferrier, Jo Tacchi, Dave Rooney, Phil Graham, and me: our edgeX Linkage project proposal for the Australian Research Council [12] has received the green light [13] (and - more importantly - the funding that goes with it), so over the next three years we'll be developing an emergent digital grassroots eXpo in partnership with Ipswich City Council [14] to support and showcase the grassroots content production that's going on there (this is Ipswich southwest of Brisbane, not one of the other ones around the world...). Should be fun!
