The Postman Always Blogs Twice

Mark your calendars for Seattle Times columnist David Postman's "Blogging 101" workshop, sponsored by local SPJ chapter (that's Society of Professional Journalists, you scabs) 7pm Monday Dec 4 in the "Blogging World HQ Suite" at the P-I building. Non-SPJ members pay $7, but it's totally worth it, not just for the free pizza but because once you learn blogging, you can pretty much write your own ticket, dude!! And if you're gonna get certified as a blogger, why not go to the place where blogs were born—the office of a daily newspaper!

We're not much for book-learnin', but we couldn't resist hosting our own "lessons learned" workshop. That's why we're offering Blogging 099, a remedial course Friday night at Seattlest Seth's basement rec room. There's no free pizza (maybe you could bring some - vegan, thanks!) but James whips up a pretty gnarly complimentary hunch punch, just bring your own plastic cup. You'll learn how to get comped to all-ages shows, look busy at work, and impress people at bars, all through the power of the internets. Seattlest'll teach you blogging all right. We'll teach you REAL good.

David should send us a list of all the Postman jokes he hasn't heard 100 times already so we can use them in future posts.

David, that's a good one too. Putting that one in the file for later.

Any help for those of us not in Seattle?

Of course I deserve ridicule for agreeing to talk to colleagues about blogging. But, really, what did I do to deserve a headline that plays on The Postman Always Rings Twice? At least it didn't say, "Wait a Minute Mr. Postman."

Yes, please do come to the class, folks. I will be assisting Mr. Postman (and Mr. Todd Bishop, of Microsoft blogging fame). My lecture will include helpful tips on how you, too, can write whatever the heck you feel like for the fabulous reward of your own personal gratification.

And there's also the pizza.
