I just got done with a lunchtime phone interview with Nick Jesdanun, a reporter for the AP. He’s still finalizing his article, and as this is going to be a wire story, there’s no telling where it might show up, but there’s at least a chance that my name will start popping up again over the next day or so (possibly as early as this evening) in the midst of another story about blogging, jobs, and the occasionally unfortunate intersection of the two.
I’ll toss a link up when I see it, but if one of you kind folks happens to catch it before I do, feel free to let me know!
Update: Prairie wins! She found the story first: Blog-related firings focus on policy. Just a small mention, but I’m in there…
In 2003, a Microsoft Corp. contractor was fired after posting photographs of computers from rival Apple Computer Inc. at a loading dock. Because Michael Hanscom had described a building in his posting, Microsoft said he had violated security, he said.
[…]
Microsoft refused to comment on Hanscom’s case, but pointed out that it encourages blogging and has more than 1,500 unofficial bloggers - the bulk on Microsoft’s official Web sites.
Update: And here’s a CNN version of the same story, courtesy of Tim.

Was he AP newspaper or AP Broadcast? If he was newspaper then you’ll be online somewhere. If it was Broadcast it’ll only go to tv and radio stations.
I believe that it’s a print story. Not 100% sure…but about 94% sure.

Found two recent snippets ‘bout you: (but not the AP article) http://msnbc.msn.com/id/6949377/ http://www.technewsworld.com/story/40586.html
Hey, nifty. The MSNBC article I’d seen, though not on MSNBC — it’s a reprint of the Washington Post article from a few weeks back.
The TechNewsWorld editorial is new to me, though. Nice to see, too, esp. the comparison between how Queen of Sky and I reacted to our situations.
Thanks!
