Mind you, even the short blog entries are meant to meet the same <a title=\"http:\/\/kempton.wordpress.com\/about\/\" href=\"http:\/\/kempton.wordpress.com\/about\/\" >writing standard I laid out here<\/a>. Some entries take longer to research and add some cool audio\/video contents.

I have not had the pleasure to meet many of these blog\/virtual friends yet. But I have talked to some over Skype\/phone. And then some, through my work in interviewing them, have become closer friends.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to my blog friend Eva&#8217;s suggestion, I have created a video for this post.
