Saw a post from Dave Winer regarding Paul Martin (who will become Canada's next Prime Minister unless something pretty bizarre happens) being a (relatively) new blogger.
I have a semi personal connection to Paul Martin -- my wife and family lived across the street from the Martins in Windsor when she was growing up. My wife's sister and Paul's sister are still close. My nephew ( a political science student at Dalhousie) is involved in Paul's current campaign for the federal Liberal party leadership.
Way to go Paul!

I noticed that there have been no updates to Paul's blog ( or the surrounding website for that matter) for almost a month. Maybe Paul is not all that committed to blogging.
