In case you hadn’t noticed, jvwalt has joined the illustrious ranks of GMD front pager. Since a few of us (myself included) are doing less posting these days, it seemed time for some fresh blood, and jvwalt is high-quality blood indeed.
Not only has he been posting good stuff here for some time, he also comes with a mighty media pedigree, including experience in the newspaper world, quite a bit on radio (including at New Hampshire Public Radio), and even has himself a book out there on the shelves – which just goes to show that the new media is not just for those with short attention spans like yours truly.
So: Welcome to GMD’s front page, jvwalt – hope you survive the experience. (geek reference, see pic).

I was just wearing that exact costume a few days ago.
Magneto stood trimphantly over the bodies of Cyclops, Wolverine, and Professor Xavier. “At last, I have defeated the X-Men!” he crowed. “And now, the weakling humans are helpless before my power!”
Just then, out from the shadows emerged an overweight, middle-aged man with a laptop. “Not so fast, tin man!” he growled. “Behold the deadliest weapon in the X-Men’s arsenal!”
He began to type. And every keystroke sent Magneto reeling backward. “No– NOOOO!” he bellowed. “But I have defeated them all!” His armor buckled. “Who… who ARE you?”
“I?” said the fat man. “I… am… THE BLOGGER!!!”
With that, he hit “ENTER,” and Magneto crumpled, lifeless, to the ground.
reliable source tells me that I should exclaim “Lenin’s beard”.
It’s all quite puzzling.
