I love seeing writers and reporters beyond that which they report. Gives you some more perspective. Outstanding interview. I love seeing writers and reporters beyond that which they report.

So, if I may say so, do you. You give good question. I’ve read the whole interview now and he comes out of it rather well. So, if I may say so, do you. You give good question.

I am envious that you had the chance to interview a big-wig over at Time Magazine. Hopefully, sometime soon, "mommy-bloggers" will reach critical mass -- in time for 2008, perhaps? And, by the way, James -- a lot of us bloggers are also PROFESSIONAL writers, as you describe yourself. So don't sell us short. You know how fickle this industry is -- one of us might have your job soon! ;) Thanks for you kind comments about my cool-ness, CM, as a blogger parent, as well as the link, again, to my blog!

It’s crap you buy. It’s what you have on your iPod." I think that's what bothers me about the whole hipster phenomenon, it's defined not by rejecting consumerism but by consuming *the right* things. Interesting conversation. I'm definitely not a hipster by any definition but I have enjoyed following this conversation around the Internet. I like that you gave him space to respond. I liked this:

They complained about the term, said that it didn’t capture their diversity–but their posts were all linked to each other’s posts, and they blogroll each other, and they talk constantly about the “community.” But write a critical word about that community, and suddenly, you’re lumping them all together when they don’t deserve to be." He has a point there don't you think! “and yet the people at Babble, the people at blogs offended by my essay–they certainly seem to believe that it encompassed them even as they objected to it, and that there was, in fact, some common self-selected entity that they belonged to.
