Welcome to 2012!
Here at the Big Bad Blog, we predict that this will finally be the year when blogs arrive, and become accepted as a means of communication by the masses. The word “blog” might even enter the popular lexicon.
Remember: you heard it here first.

Happy New Year!
Year of the blog. Remember: you heard it here first.
Be careful what you blog.
Not quite an old saying, but perhaps it should be. A blogger in Minneapolis lost a court case in which he was sued for $60,000 when a man was fired as a result of something he wrote in his blog.
Not for libel — what he said was true. But because the plantiff’s employer felt that the revealed mortgage fraud was cause for dismissal. (Side note: apparently the plantiff agreed, because he did not sue his former employer).
Here at the Big Bad Blog, we do not believe that we have caused anybody to be fired. But we’ll keep trying.
Now we will segue directly to Mayans …
