Blogroll call: Meet some of my friends
I added a few of my friends to the blog roll on the right and took out some old links. Boing Boing and the Sartorialist don’t really need my links, they know I love them and everyone reads them anyway.
I do want to highlight three new additions to the blog roll. Three women whose friendship and intellect I’ve enjoyed over the years. In no particular order.
Meghan Warby is probably one of the smartest (and probably coolest) PR people I know. Hell, if more flacks were like her, journalists wouldn’t be annoyed by them so much. She doesn’t just get social media, she thinks about how all that Facebooking, tweeting, blogging can be used for good. The fact that she knows all the cool music and can shake it on the dance floor are also pretty damn hot.
My former co-worker Sarah Millar is one hardworking, dedicated journalist and an inspiration for any young journalists out there who are despairing about their career or the industry. The fact that she earned the respect and admiration of a roomful of boys at the National Post sports department also counts for a lot.
Journalist and poet Alexis Kienlen has a pretty sweet life and I’ve always admired how after a long day of journalism she manages to find time teaching writing to teenagers. Also her dispatches from the heart of Canada’s food industry are fascinating reading.

Obvs. Warby is the goddess of all things dance-floor related, and music-based. The fact that she’s doing her own Social Media panel at SXSW is also pretty hot=)

Aw shucks, Ron. Loving how the ladies of the interwebs are reigning supreme over your blog roll – & flattered to be held in such high regard! (cheque’s in the mail, FYI)
