The blogosphere is vast and contains multitudes
While working on my most recent labor blogging roundup over at The Bellman, I came across Tobias Higbie's Bughouse Square blog. If I'm not mistaken, Tobias (Toby?) was a central figure in the grad unionization movement at Illinois in the years before I arrived. I think I've met him a few times, though I'm not entirely sure. In any case, it should all be cleared up soon since he has taken a job at the University of Illinois.
In other blogospheric news, it appears that one of the first year grads in my program has a blog. He doesn't look anything like the picture.
During my soujourn in Texas this summer some of the Champaign/Urbana bloggers got together for a meet-up, which I mention mostly so that I can link to the local NPR station's coverage (real player). For my part, I was busy meeting Austin bloggers, including Dru Blood, who has been all but ignored by the mainstream media even though she makes a mean pot of soup.
