Chillmark Research, a Cambridge consulting firm that analyzes adoption of IT in healthcare, explains (very politely) what the lawyers for the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society in Chicago can do with their request that the firm not only delete blog comments that offend them (see the note from "Calvin Jablonski" on this post) but help the lawyers track down the person who posted them.

... HIMSS, we invite you to write a Guest Post that we would gladly post on the Chilmark Research site and highlight it to set the record straight. Seems like a good solution to us but to date it has gone unanswered. ...

Local blogger Lori Magno is helping to organize Blogger Social '09, a three-day series of soirees and outings for bloggers (April 3-5) - but only the first 100 with $350 to spend:

Nobody makes a dime on this. It's about being social, not making a buck.

The Globe today has a business-section story about some panel discussion on how Masters of the Universe should respond when bloggers catch them in a lie or point out major failings in their products - which the Globe seems to think is a new phenomenon in this Age of Recession, as opposed to something that's been going on for awhile now. In any case, one of the people on the panel was John Carroll, a BU media professor who, you may recall, got beat up by bloggers for mistaking a satirical post as fact, and who is still touchy about the subject:

... "One of the people who was sandblasting me for an entire week on his local political blog actually eight months later tried to friend me on Facebook."

More at Blue Mass. Group, or, as Carroll refers to them, "these people."

Margalit reports NPR is sending a crew over to her kitchen tonight to watch her make a big pot of chicken soup and some biscuits for dinner:

... They're doing a story about people who have changed their shopping and cooking habits since the recession really took hold. That would be me. I'm so much more careful about what I buy, and we hardly have any packaged foods at all in the house anymore. We've been using up what we can from our pantry, but looking forward I can't see us buying too much in the way of anything packaged besides cereal. Because my son lives on cereal as a snack, and the food pantry we use tends to bring us 4 boxes a month. ...

Even if the lyrics make no sense to you (trackbacks? SEO? What is this?), you can still enjoy this video about unrequited link love on the Red Line:

Chris Monks reports you could see part of his lawn on a Channel 5 story last night about the warm weather - they filmed a neighbor and his son playing in front of his house:

... This neighbor lives around the block, not even on my street, yet for some reason they chose to film him and his son playing street hockey right in front of my house. Why? Well, I think it's kind of obvious: Because I'm one of the most famous fair-to-middling bloggers in all of Eastern Massachusetts. They could have filmed the thing in front of anybody's house, like for instance, my neighbor's house around the block. But they didn't. Instead, they saw my house and probably said to themselves, "Isn't that the house where that blogger with glorious toes who writes fair-to-middling fan letters to Star Jones lives? Awesome. Let's film there." ...

Just saw one of the most substantial exchanges I've ever seen on Twitter:

rdsahl Gov Patrick: WashPost blog floats your name for HHS. Are you in the mix? Would you take if offered. Thanks.

(and, about an hour later...)

MassGovernor @rdsahl As the Governor has said countless times, he is staying put and running for re-election. - Kyle Sullivan, Press Secretary [approx. 2 pm]

I'm struck by this in several ways:

Save My Spot in Southie.

I love this passive-aggressive note (hey, at least the aggrieved person left a note rather than hauling out a tire iron or something).

This is just the sort of thing people in Dorchester complain about.

Is Boston big enough for two newsletters aimed at the Axe Generation?

Thrillist Boston, which already tells young men What to Buy, is about to get competition from UrbanDaddy, which is advertising for a local dude-oriented writer to write up "what's new, hot, exciting and essential."
