This week we'd like to congratulate the -ist network's Mother Hen, Gothamist's Jen Chung, who found herself a recipient of Wired Magazine's Wired Rave Award. If that doesn't sound terribly exciting, keep in mind another recipient was J.K. Rowling. Yep, that's right, the -ist network and Harry Potter now have something in common. Go us. ...

Leslie Harpold has died. A writer, designer, editor, and web pioneer of prodigious skill, she was 40. Her passing is being felt throughout the internet community....

As we promised earlier this morning, in response to SFist MattyMatt's brilliant suggestion -- it's Ask Chris A Question! Do you have a burning question you'd like to ask Chris Daly? Post it in the comments! We can't promise you that he'll answer it or anything, but hey -- you never know, he might.

He promptly fired off a note to the firefighters' union, reminding them......

Sampaist is on the scene in São Paulo beginning this week to become the only ist south of the Equator. Editor Leandro M. Pinto leads the paulistanos down there. You can protest someone at his office, sure, but when the whistle blows at the end of the day can you follow him home? D.C. has sports fans, apparently, and elephants aren't really cut out for zoos. There's this trick where you can read information from......

We love the Gate/Chronicle's Daily Dish, in large part due to the fact that we think it's so freakin' cute that a little glass dish is "rung" when it goes up. While we did note that they started allowing comments in August, it hasn't been until recently that we've started reading them. Upon our first reading, so many emotions rushed through our brains, everything from gratitude at our own commenters' comparative erudition (hell, not......
