Bloggers Organize -- What if Jane Jacobs had a blog?
Nature in the City -- New York's High Line remains as a tribute to nature's regenerative powers.
Beckett -- A centenary tribute to Samuel Beckett, Joyce stenographer, writer of Waiting for Godot. I have no idea what it means.
Tim Menees leaves Post-Gazette. -- Menee's was the P-G's boomer cartoonist. Not as prolific as Rob Rogers. A little bit more acerbic. I can't think of Allegheny County row officers without thinking of Menees' monikers, Clerk of Quartz, Lamplighter, and Profanitary. I also loved his drawings of State Store officials with Kaiser Wilhelm helmets.
His drawings always seemed to hint that they might at any moment fugue into Ralph Steadman-style chaos. Will miss seeing his words and pictures in the P-G. He's a multi-talented person, though, and I'm sure he'll be turning up all over the place.
