Greetings! I’m here in Atlanta for the Online News Association’s #ONA13 conference — my sixth consecutive ONA. Check out the stuff below, if it strikes your fancy.
Follow me on Twitter as @greglinch and be sure to say hello there and in-person! I’m always happy to talk about ONA, the board, the ONA student committee and a smattering of other things:
- journalism
- data and coding
- science!
- abstraction in art, poetry and music
- milkshakes and French toast
Also, say hello to all the wonderful Washington Post folks!
