Housekeeping

by

A few changes to the site I wanted to let you readers know about.

First, I added a GrandCentral button that allows anyone visiting the page to give me a phone call, where ever I might be. Grandcentral is a IP telephony product that uses the internet to route incoming calls and to provide a single voice mail for all your phone numbers. In this case, you can simply click on the badge below my picture, enter your phone number, and GrandCentral will call both you and me, and patch us together.

This way, I don’t have to put my phone number in public, you can reach me where ever I might be, and there’s no fees. I hope some of you will use this feature as a tip line, and to get information about Drinking or Reading Liberally. Also, GrandCentral has a great recording function, so if you would like to do an interview for BlogForArizona, this tool allows recording of the phone interview and easy posting of the audio file to the internet. I’m sure to use something similar as a referral tool if I ever go into private practice, so I’m trying it out now to see how it goes.

For the trolls out there who might contemplate mischief, you should know that it is trivial matter to block unwanted calls as well as to record the content of any call, so you will run out of phones to call from long before I am inconvenienced, and there will be a record of any harassment.

The second change is BlogForArizona’s Greatest Hits. When people are new to a site that they’ve found on a search or through a link, they often want to see some of the other work of the blogger. I’ve selected a few postings that I really like, and that I think hold up over time, being largely expository or explanatory. Even if you aren’t new to the site, I hope you’ll check these articles out, they may be new to you.

UPDATE: I also added an RSS feed from my NetFlix queue to the side bar below my current reading list. All the cool kids are doing it… which I guess means that doing so is officially no longer cool. Anyhow, thought at least someone might be interested in what I’m watching. Of course, this is just a feed from my movie and documentary queue, I have a separate queue for series and multi-disc sets, but I’m not going to bother with that.

  3. Yep, you’re right, Daniel Knauss, Charlton’s First Assistant US Atorney, has been appointed to replace Charlton, passing over the Sentorial recommendation Humetewa. Sources in the AG’s office say that the appointment is temporary and Humetewa is still in the running.

    Again, this is an internal promotion, so I won’t draw any conclusions about Mr. Knauss’s politics… yet.

  5. I’m not aware if Humetewa has been passed over by the Administration for someone else, I’ll need to look into that. It would be unusual if the state’s Senate delegation were so thoroughly ignored, in any case.

  6. Yes, Humetewa is likely the nominee; at least that’s who Kyl and McCain are backing for the post. Given that she’s an internal promotion and not an outside hack from someone staff or think tank with little or no prosecutorial experience, I’ve been under the assumption that she’s a legit nominee. I haven’t heard any allegation that she’s a Bush tool. However, since she hasn’t been officially nominated by Bush or appointed yet, and hasn’t been in the news for over month now, I don’t know what the status of her taking the post might be.

  7. Thanks Michael, just trying to do a little tracking wasn’t Diane Humetewa the senatorial rec. and wasn’t she jumped for someone else?

  8. The speculation on Charlton is that he was removed in order to bring the Renzi investigation to an early end. I don’t know if this will be successful, as the likely replacement for Charlton isn’t obviously a tool of the Administration, though she has received suspiciously swift approval of our Senators.

  10. Question Michael, has anything ever been heard from the Rick Renzi investigation, and do you think this, more than the death penalty might be why Charlton was removed. Just curious and in my poor googling skilz I lose all stories after mid october or so till just again since the USA fiasco. Thanks

    And just in case Dwight reads this, Dude get your own blog.
