Some stuff to check out:

[I swear, I'll start compiling these into a daily speedlink roundup.... someday.]

Via boingboing, we have an excellent excerpt from Scott Kirsner’s new book about online video: Sites that Pay for Web Video: From CinemaTech

And my article “What to Consider When You are Thinking About a Career Move” is currently being featured on the Helium.com homepage! Check it out! If you’re wondering about my other articles over at Helium, click the “More” link below– I’ll post a list of them for ya.

Finally, for all the fellow travelers and travel-addicts out there, Matador Travel has finally made its public launch!

My username over there, as everywhere, is mortaine (and yes, in keeping with the “Megablog” philosophy, the blog posts over there will be ported over here shortly).
