Where Ya Been, Phil?

Where Ya Been, Phil?
These days, I answer this question about as often as I blog. Things have been pretty off-the-hook, so I'll dry to deliver the Super Bowl Highlight Film version.
First off, I've been pretty ill. One throat problem would go away, and then get replaced by a cold. Or the flu. Or the Australasian Swine Goiter. Anyway, the symptoms this past week have been easily dispatched by some combination of a hot shower, lapsang souchong tea, NyQuil, and the SciFi Channel's Twilight Zone marathon.
Second, let's face it: The holidays are what they are. This year was a whirlwind — more so than I remember from past years.
Third, as any PR person knows, the end of the year is replete with all kinds of reports, end-of-this-year-and-what-to-look-for-in-the-next pitches, and general preparation for the following year. Fun stuff is afoot, rest assured. I also cleaned my office, which I do twice a year whether it needs it or not.
I haven't been silent, though. My talk to the PRSA about the intersection of weblogs and PR found some ink in this month's issue of Electronic Business. I met the article's writer, Howard Baldwin, about five years ago when I was working with Cohera and he was at Upside. I've enjoyed his work, so it was a pleasure to be interviewed by him.
I also updated my FAQ and Heroes pages, so you might want to take a look.
Noticed that interesting Fortune piece on "Why There's No Escaping The Blog." I'd link to it if Time Warner didn't KGB its online properties behind a costwall. Maybe corporations will start paying more attention to blogs in general?
Anyway, here's to a wonderful 2005. Best wishes and benedictions to you all!
...now get back to work!
