Today I posted two of my clips from this year: "Champions of Equality," which was published in the July 2007 issue of USTA Magazine, is in my bibliography in PDF and HTML formats; and "My Cyber Valentine," a humor piece that appeared on MensHealth.com in February 2007, is available in HTML.
I'll probably post a few more of my clips from this year, but especially wanted to get these one online. They're probably my favorite articles that I had published in 2007.
Happy New Year to all.

CNN has launched a news service in the virtual world of Second Life, an online "game" wherein players live out an ancillary existence.
Millions of "residents" of Second Life generate news just like in the real world, and now they can work as journalists to report that news for CNN's Second Life entity.
For more information, see the article "CNN enters the virtual world of Second Life."

The crossword puzzle in the December 10 issue of New York magazine is themed around famous photographers, mostly old ones. (None older than 150 years, though. Ha ha.)
I don't know most of them. I got "Ansel Adams" and "Eisenstadt," though I initially spelled the latter incorrectly (because, in a "duh" moment, I'd previously erred on the spelling of "arable" in the cross-word). But that's it. There are still about eight or so photographers' names in the puzzle that I'm missing.
I should know these, because in college I took a "History of Photography" course. Oh, well. Good use of tuition money.
Besides, my favorite photographers are my dad, my uncle and a couple of friends. So why aren't their names in the puzzle?
