My relationship with iFanboy.com led to another writing opportunity in 2009, a semi-regular gig at Murmur.com. My output there has been sporadic as of this posting, but it should be ramping up in the coming months. So far, it goes a little something like this:

In Defense Of: Poor Jimmy Fallon – He’s no Johnny Carson yet, but don’t write him off.

PODCAST: Murmur – Episode #8 – Beatles!, Reality TV & Books – I enjoyed this a lot, not only for the recorded discussion but for the two-hour gossipfest that continued online afterwards. These Murmur people is good people.

Talk Amongst Ourselves: Does Music Matter? – Apparently not!

Murmur PODCAST – Episode #6 -Go Go Gadget Everything! – a freewheeling discussion of everything from Kindles to iPhones to Twitter to geekdom. Fun to do; fun to hear.

In Defense Of: Twitter – The first in (hopefully) a series of articles in which I stand up for pop culture’s punching bags. It’s positivity meets irritation!

Things iLike and Things iDon’t: A Nonbeliever Gets an iPhone – I was deeply skeptical of the new Wonderphone when my wife brought it home; this details my conversion experience.

Can You Tell Me How to Get a History of Sesame Street? – A review of Michael Davis’ occasionally fascinating, often maddening book, Street Gang.
