Well I'm back from a mini vacation in Washington, D.C. and am starting to think about how to take Audeamus to the next level as far as coverage of the issues we look at here goes. I'd like to hear your ideas on what you'd like to see me do here. I'm starting to file away names of individuals and organizations I'd like to interview either through e-mail or in person, depending on my own limited budget and resources, as well as how to more widely cover many of these issues with greater impact. So let me know if you have any ideas for people to talk to or interview, story topics, specific or broad. I'm also going to start working these issues into my freelance work more so that I can double up with coverage here as well as earning a living at the same time. I was still involved full-time with other work up to the end of May, and since then have been taking care of loose ends. Now is about the right time to get the show on the road.
