Alan has been testing the new site for a couple weeks, and today is the official rollout to coincide with the anniversary of Kansas's entry into the union.
For those of you who don't know Alan or his blog, let me fill you in. Alan and I went to college together in the early '90s. He edited the school newspaper; I worked in the college TV studio and was executive producer for our newsmagazine show. He was a DJ at the college radio station; I was a guest DJ once in a while. Our interest in media and politics was matched only by our appetite for $4.25 pizza (the best value in town at the time).
He's a Minnesota native who transplanted to Kansas and now covers Kansas issues out in Washington DC for Knight-Ridder. The "Oz" in Ozblog is appropriate--he's not in Kansas anymore! The content of his blog is mostly political, through the eyes of a beltway reporter. But don't be surprised to see some discussion of pop culture. Now that he's getting the blog going again, I expect to be linking to it frequently.
We started blogging at roughly the same time. He was doing it for his employer at first--for the Democratic and Republican conventions. I had been thinking about starting a blog for a while. When I saw him doing it, I decided to take the plunge too.
Today's post is on the Boeing deal with China.
Congrats on the new site, Alan!
