BlogHer ‘10 will be held in New York City, but that’s not the only change this year.  The Bloggers in Charge have taken control over the sponsorship mayhem that consumed the BlogHer conference in 2009.

Over the New Year’s Holiday, I had the chance to go to the Outer Banks of North Carolina.  And when they say Outer, they ain’t kidding.  Basically out in the ocean.  No roads.  No internet.  Big Ass Puddles and Wild Horses.  Wild Horses! We were in Carova Beach, NC.  Accessible only by 4 wheel drive trucks, there are no roads, there is only the beach.  Needless to say I had to park the minivan back on solid ground and hitch a...
