Bob Nelson reports on the Boston Radio List that he was listening to Carr on WRKO this afternoon and the car dealer came on down and said:

• He is not the Ernie Boch III, who's calling for a boycott of Carr's advertisers on Blue Mass. Group (and on tried on Red Mass. Group, where the reaction was a bit less friendly).
• Flack Extraordinaire George Regan suggested he hire a private investigator to find out who III really is
• Boch thinks it's somebody at the State House

For trying to help him get out of his contract with WRKO. He hugs them and musses their hair and gives them a friendly "yer momma."

"Ernie Boch III" has been trying to convince Blue Mass. Group readers to boycott advertisers on Howie Carr's radio show (he's even posted a handy list of advertisers and contact info). Must be having some effect: The Herald today fires back with the news that Ernie Boch III is not, in fact, the car dealer (whom the Herald gives space to to complain about the imposter). Paper also reports, however, that people actually are calling advertisers to complain about Carr.

After taking a year off, Blogtoberfest is happening again, organizer Jenny Frazier reports.

The last Blogtoberfest.

The ADORE-chester Project involves ten Dorchester bloggers who will show just how much they enjoy Dorchester on Sunday, Oct. 4, by simultaneously posting their own personal lists of what makes Dorchester special. Whalehead King, one of the organizers, says:

On Tinkering with Urban Mechanics, Sean Bender isn't afraid to visit the giant pear in Edward Everett Square or to recommend events that don't happen anywhere near Copley Square.

I'm emerging from the blogcave up in the mountain fastnesses next Wednesday, to participate in a panel discussion at the Vilna Shul: Are Blogs and Twitter Improving the Dissemination of Information and News?

Dan Kennedy moderates the discussion with Globe innovation columnist Scott Kirsner, Mass. High Tech Editor Doug Banks, HubSpot CTO Dharmesh Shah, and, well, me. Click the link for more details and to register.

Kennedy Seat is by somebody who says he (or she) is remaining anonymous to protect the day job. With a Twitter feed to match, of course.

Alana notes that Harvard Extension School is offering a course this semester on blogging:

... Readings cover the best (and worst) of political, art, lifestyle, and personal blogs, and students practice writing in each of these genres. Students learn the ins and outs of the technical side of blogging including graphics and layout, interpreting traffic data, selling advertising, and building an audience. This course emphasizes the excellent writing and organizational skills that a compelling blog requires, and prepares students for careers as creative journalists or successful freelancers in the digital world.

It's $1,100 if you want the credits for undergraduate work; $1,800 if you're going for a graduate degree.
