Wanted to check in with you since it's been a while. I'm still in the planning stages of the web series on punditry that I've working on with the producer out in LA, but in the meantime I'm launching another project under Project PM which I'll be announcing in Skeptical Inquirer this week. Basically, we've acquired a group of scientists whom we'll be pairing with freelance writers in an effort to encourage the production of quality science articles that can then be sold to various publications; the intent is to ensure a steady stream of accurate science writing in order to improve public knowledge of such things as well as to help funnel work to those journalists such as yourself who are need of extra money in order to be able to pursue your main areas of focus. If this interests you, let me know and I'll get in touch with further details.
Also, I'm working with the same producer on sketches for Will Ferrel and Adam McKay's production company Gary Sanchez Productions as well as their website Funny or Die; if you and Jamie have any sketch ideas, get in touch; there's some good money in this.
