I’m not as ambitious as Dustin, though, so I want to go to one place only for now: The Real Estate Tomato. Weblogger Jim Cronin is a vendor, and this might ordinarily put him on my suspect list.

I’m not his cheerleader — nor even his customer. But I have been enriched by his generosity on his weblog, so I’d like to share some of those riches with you, if you haven’t seen them.

I read so many good posts each day, and at any given moment I have a dozen or so ideas rattling around that I want to chime in on. Your efficiency (not to mention link-per-post ratio) is inspiring!
