Tom Menino for President

Dice-K's First Appearance in a Red Sox Uniform Deadspin pointed this out today. My guess is you'll be able to buy Asahi at Fenway this season.

I biked down to Jamaica Plain this morning for the Boston Media Makers meeting. Lots of people doing cool things. Two of my favorites: Ravi Jain's Drive Time weekly vlog, filmed during his commute through Boston. Steve Garfield's videos for the Jamaica Plain Historical Society.

A third city on the same hop

Boston is not London and it is not New York, yet it keeps sitting on the same corridor. A Jamaica Plain meetup, a Red Sox week, a borrowed projector: these are the small rooms where a growth story gets tested before anyone books a transatlantic crate.

When I bike to a media breakfast now, I still ask what has to be in the room. A camera. A printed one-sheet. A spare dock. The habit came from those early JP mornings and it travels well when the next stop is Baker Street or a short New York desk.
