Perhaps I was a bit Hasty

I've been too busy to do much blogging the last week or so. However, I did follow Lileks' reports from the Democratic Convention - a performance that gave the lie to my Lileks-is-being-worked-to-death-by-a-dying-newspaper-in-a-dying-industry thesis. If anything, the man sounded positively chipper. And, then, there's this piece of evidence from Hot Air. More Chipperishness. Obviously, the sage of Minneapolis has adjusted. And good for him, I say.

On a related note, I see that Pajamas Media has lined up a number of right of center Blog Stars (Lileks, Michelle Malkin, Glen Reynolds, etc.) for a paid online video "network" called Pajamas TV. The monthly fee sounds a little steep to me (from $15 to $37 /Mo. depending on the plan) but I'm certainly behind the idea in principle. An awful lot of content has poured out across the web for little or no remuneration. This cannot continue. Someone has to figure out how to monetize web content and, er, charging for services sounds like a good place to start.
