The writers’ strike has diverted the energies of our own Rob Long from television to the web, on which he has just launched his own blog. (“I said once that I’d never carry a picket sign,” Rob explains, “and I also said that I’d never ever have a blog. Well, desperate times.”)

Rob is already widely and justly recognized for producing gorgeous, fast-moving prose, political insights, and hilarity. What he isn’t recognized for—not just yet, anyway—is his knowledge of new media. Where the tectonic plates of entertainment and high tech slam into each other, you’ll find Rob, prancing around delightedly as the earth quivers and shakes.
