Quick tip on tips – maybe consider integrating TipJoy, for people who actually want to participate in social microgiving (with potential network effects for the site) versus “subscribing” anonymously?

Also, I would think it not unreasonable to suffer RSS ads for the way I actually read the Chronicle (for me, currently a guilty, ad-free experience). But I’m more excited by the possibility of the community directly and visibly demonstrating their love of the Chronicle via social microgiving / micropayment in a virtuous cycle of customer engagement and profitability:

Social Microgiving Link

Something I’m sure many others would also be interested in discussing at the upcoming New Tech meetup next week, if you’re up for another a2geeks event. :-)

Mmm, baklava. If, on the other hand, you carried a balalaika, you would truly be a wandering minstrel. But no, I was just recommending a chin-covering winter hat:

Baklava—honey, nut, phyllo pastry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baklava),
Balalaika—Russian stringed instrument (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balalaika),
Balaklava (or balaclava)—winter cycling hat (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balaclava_(clothing)).

At least I can pretend to understand the Huron River watershed!

If I don’t need all the details, I can scan quickly, but sometimes I just relish wallowing in what you write. Write on….

Please keep it up even when it goes bananas. If people don’t want that detail, they can read the funnies.
