Goodbye Blog Baltimore, hello Mobtown Wire!

So last Tuesday our friendly neighborhood telephone repair technician came out to our house and fixed our staticky phone line. That was the good news. The bad news is that he made the DSL juju go away. Perhaps it leaked out. There was some cable splicing, that’s all I know. So for the last (omfg hectic but that’s another post) week, I have had no internet. It was a bad scene. And that’s why I couldn’t tell you about the launch of the Mobtown Wire, formerly known as Blog Baltimore, which was my pet project circa 2004.

Obviously, having a child or two kind of saps your energy, as does dealing with the bizarrely difficult-to-use RingSurf web site that I was using to manage the participants, which is why my leadership of that ring dwindled and dwindled to pathetic, barely-comatose levels. So I finally gave up Blog Baltimore’s ghost, handing it over to Brian Tomasette and stepping out of his way. Please give him a hand for taking up the reins.

For its next incarnation:

the Mobtown Wire is a collection of Blogs and Independent writers of Baltimore, Maryland. Previously Blog Baltimore, the Mobtown Wire will be aggregating blog writers and providing a central news source written by and for residents of charm city.
