I’m taking a look back at 2007 this week. It’s interesting to see just what I posted about, and what was going on through the year.

March — Giving Something New A Try

Or maybe it’s not that new. Few, if any, of you know that my first post-college career was in broadcasting. Not talk radio to be sure, but I was a broadcast major and worked at several stations in the first few years after college. Inspired by Captain Ed, I’m going to give Blog Talk Radio a shot.

So, back on March 17th First Cup Radio was born. It has now become bRight @ Night, but it’s still a lot of fun. In fact there is a show tomorrow night. Tune in at 10:30pm Eastern to talk about whatever the right side of the blogosphere is writing about.

BlogTalkRadio, the home of bRight @ Night, has a brand new look and it is outstanding! The beauty is much more than skin deep. So much new functionality that I’m going to have to do some digging before I can describe it all.

Please check it out.

I’ve been invited to appear with Frank and Shane on Political Vindication Radio tonight.

Jack Bauer going from fighting terrorism to fighting global Warming? Tonight, on Political Vindication Radio we will talk to bRight and Early, a fellow contributor at Heading Right blog and contributor of Blogs4Bauer who is going to tell us about the political implication of ‘24” shifting to the left… or it so seems.

Also, plans are under way for a second round of Radio4Bauer. Check back later, but it looks like it will air on August 18th.

bRight & Early at Night, the current name for my BlogTalkRadio show, will be live in about 10 minutes. Join me to talk about the best posts from around the conservative blogosphere. The call in number is: (718) 664-9725

With each election the internet and the new media become a much bigger part of the campaign process. The many voices of citizen journalists present information and stimulate discussion about issues and candidates that can not be duplicated by traditional outlets.

Virtually untapped just a dozen years ago, campaigns are embracing this trend to raise funds, increase name recognition, and give voice to their positions.

While still only a small part of overall campaign strategy, use of the new technologies and the opportunities they offer is growing at an amazing rate. Blog Talk Radio is one such outlet and campaigns of all sizes are taking notice.

Evidence of this trend? Ed Morrissey will be interviewing Senator John McCain on CQ Radio tomorrow afternoon at 2pm Eastern time. Follow the link and listen in. You can also participate in the program by calling 646-652-4889.

First Cup Radio will be on the air in just a few minutes (6am Eastern) to help you start you July 4th celebrations. Help me by calling in – (718) 664-9725. Tell me what Independence Day, and this country mean to you.

Happy 2nd Blogiversary to:
Uh, ME!

As I mentioned yesterday, today marks the two year blogiversary of bRight&Early. It was my great pleasure to start off the day with a special edition of First Cup Radio with my guest Ed Morrissey. I would also like to thank Fausta and The Florida Masochist for stopping by.

I had a great time talking with Ed about blogs, blogging, and the state of the conservative blogosphere. You can listen to the show by starting the radio bar under today’s Day by Day strip, or by following this link.

Thanks also to Brian at Iowa Voice, Steveegg at No Runny Eggs, and The Florida Masochist for their kind good wishes.

Now on with year three!

Tomorrow marks the two year blogiversary of bRight&Early Blog. It has been a fun, sometimes frustrating, always interesting time. I look forward to next year, and as for as far in the future as it remains as fun as it is now.

To celebrate I will be broadcasting a special edition of First Cup Radio tomorrow morning at 7:00am Eastern. I’ll be discussing blogs and blogging with my special guest Ed Morrissey. I hope to look at the state of the conservative side of the blogosphere as we move into the 2008 election cycle in earnest.

You are invited to join in the conversation by listening and calling in. The call in number is (718) 664-9725.

I hope you’ll be there as bRight&Early heads into year three.

The latest edition of First Cup Radio is ready for your listening enjoyment. You can listen to the broadcast by clicking the play button on the radio bar at the top of the page, or following the link to the right.

Heading Right, the blog for BlogTalkRadio’s conservative bloggers, is off and running. I’ll be adding my first thoughts there later today. Here is Ed’s introduction:

Heading Right will serve as that community’s marketplace, bringing us together to discuss our shows, our guests, our points of view. It will create an opportunity for debate, support, and focus. We hope that our bloggers will bring fresh content and fresh perspective on the issues of the day.

In The Bullpen (Chad Evans) Outcry Over the Age of the Taliban Beheader, but Not the Act

According to the Guardian, there has been global outcry over the Taliban using a 12 year-old boy to behead an alleged spy. That’s great, it really is, but how about having a repeated global outcry over the Taliban continuing to behead and slaughter Pakistanis living in the Waziristan region to instill fear among the populace using the same trumped-up charges of spying?
