Hi Selah:

Have you checked out the new Ning social network for Wired Journalists at http://mediageeks.ning.com/ ? More than 700 journalists interested in digital media have signed up in a week or so.

Hi Selah:

To everyone, I listed Selah as a fan, but really he is my hero. While working at Turner, helping raise a family, he still spends a lot of his free time working with kids in the juvenile court system. Selah and I want to help these kids to become digital entrepreneurs. Does the subject interest you? Let us know. We have a plan; we just need to get it launched. Maybe this spring.
