Hi Wylie,

My name's Clark Robinson; I am working with Barrett Brown on Project PM. I am a retired lawyer helping him with administrative tasks. I am copying Scott Mintz, who is also working closely with Barrett.

Here is a link to our group blog, http://workshoppm.blogspot.com/ , which is a forum for those of us interested in developing Project PM. I will also send you separately an invitation to author status on the blog. 

I recommend you get author status on the workshop blog, even if you don't think you will use it immediately.

If you click way back in the "older posts," you will find a list of links to various articles Barrett has written which provide interesting background for the project.  A couple of these links also give a foretaste of his book coming out later this year (the ones with the names of NYT pundits in the link). If you want more to read, you can get Michael Hastings book, I Lost My Love in Bagdad, from Amazon.   A blog I read is Unreported, by Allison Kilkenny, who focuses on stories not getting the attention they deserve in other media. Some other writers I read on True/Slant, where Barrett blogs, are Mark Adomanis, who is gaining stature as an expert on Russia, and of course Charles Johnson, who reports on the activities of the extreme right. I also read Mano Singham, a physicist, who is  Director of  the University Center for Innovation in Teaching and Education  at Case Western Reserve University; his blog is at http://blog.case.edu/singham/ . All these writers have expressed interest in joining Project PM when it starts up later this year.

You will also see on the blog that we are talking about applying the underlying concepts of Project PM to charitable work and to journalism about science, and some of the posts on the workshop blog relate to those sub-projects.

We have been paying attention to how we work as a group, and e-mail appears to be the interaction tool of choice for many of us, so don't hesitate to send us mail.

Barrett also asks me to inquire about your occupation and expertise which, as the enables you to live in a great place like NZ, might be interesting and useful to know.

This is an American in New Zealand; could you ask him what sort of work he does? Ex-pats tend to be interesting and useful.

Lowry is only the tip of the iceberg; we're going after pretty much everyone. More to follow.

Sure, except I'm down here in Wellington, New Zealand  where I'd lay odds way more people have heard of Rolling Stone than National Review. 

Whatever you think would help...

Wylie-

Thanks for writing. Care to get involved in our plot to ruin the lives of people like Lowry?

on behalf of Hastings.  The Palin thing was so good.  It was all so good.  Thank you.
