Hung out for an hour or so, met some fellow left-handers! Weren't quite 7,000 people there, but was still a good group. Also had a big beer and dinner at the Kellerbar. And boo! to the ClearChannel people outside for lying and saying our gatheri...

Wendy and I went to Smokin' Hog BBQ in Greenfield yesterday. It's a little out of the way, hidden behind the Arby's on north SR 9 (State St.). Excellent slow-smoked meats, the sauce is almost optional. Tried the beef brisket and pulled pork sandwi...

John Belden replied to Andrea Emerson's discussion 'Spunk & Bite' in the group Writers Group
I think I echo others when I say, you should KNOW your Strunk & White (and "Eats Shoots and Leaves") before you advance to Spunk & Bite. Finding ways to make your good writing stand out is not a sin, but no amount of style can make up for lack of...

John Belden replied to Pat Coyle's discussion 'Do you want to Tweet from your TV remote?'
Thoughts that come to me are: 1. Wouldn't want this to be automatic, no need to tell everyone every show I happen to surf to, especially if I don't like or don't want to watch it. 2. This could clutter the Twittersphere even more, as having a foll...

Oh, look -- I've got another blog

Seems wrong to have this part of my page blank, so here goes.

This online persona is the "me" you meet when I've got the collared shirt and the reporter's notepad, when it's possible I'll be handing you a business card.

There's also the casual friends-and-family me at Facebook, and the more unguarded me at LiveJournal. And the me that is directly hosted by the company (the more focused blog at www.eastofindy.com). Plus me scattered at a couple of other places around the net.

Help

A few things to consider before joining Smaller Indiana:
1. Please use your real name (first and last) when you sign up, or we cannot open your account

2. Please do not use logos or commercial images for your profile photo

3. Events should be posted in the events calendar

4. You can post pretty much anything you want on your own personal page (self promotion, etc), and you can change the style of your personal profile page to reflect your corporate identification if you so choose.

5. Please keep all comments civil and polite. It's OK to feel strongly about a subject, and it's OK to be critical of ideas, but please refrain from personal attacks of any kind.

If you witness or experience any issues, please contact admin@smallerindiana.com and we will look into the matter.

6. Smaller Indiana is supported by its members, and by corporate sponsors. If you're interested in learning more about sponsorship, please call Pat Coyle at 317 332 7878.
