im applying for a job and i mentioned the first blog i launched at the LAT

was Kareem’s.

so i googled it and naturally it’s gone, as is most of the things i did at the Times and Los Angeleno.

but i got lucky and his blog has been archived on the wayback machine.

im starting to thing: ive had a wild life.

this is what our original blog splash page looked like.

i was not very successful at lobbying for its own homepage, but i still stand by that concept.
