In the December issue of Seattle Magazine, there's a big article on blogging. Maybe I missed it, Matt, but I didn't see either Scoble or Winer's name mentioned. Here, you've got two pioneers sitting within close range, and… they don't even get a sidebar. That's kinda silly, although I do understand the pressure and politics of journalism. You probably wanted to interview them, but their stories weren't juicy enough for the editors. They may not blog about Seattle in every single keystroke, but they're still a part of this area right now. IMHO, I'm starting to see the greater vicinity as a much more affordable, accessible Silicon Valley. Minus all the life-sucking VCs, naturally. I'll take the rain over overpriced housing any day.

Last night, I had the opportunity to get my ASCII kicked in Halo 2 again. Robert and I cracked open his purchased copy of the new game and gave it a whirl while the girls were chatting it up in the other room. I need to practice on my own before playing against someone (online or off) – on an HDTV screen! This week was filled with fun, and… I'll be back within a couple of weeks. Geek dinners are just too cool to miss, and I need to make good on a promise to support the Seattle Weblogger Meetup Group. Oh yes, and David, too.
