Tomrrow I'm heading down to New York to take part in the "Inside Out" speaker series at New York University's Department of Journalism. John Rennie, editor-in-chief at Scientific American, and I will try to answer the question, "Can two prominent magazine journalists find happiness blogging?" The inquisition, run by LA Times reporter and NYU writer-in-residence Lee Hotz is open to journalism students and faculty. It will take place the fifth floor atrium of 10 Washington Place, at 6 p.m on Tuesday. See you there.

As far as I know, it's open to NYU people only. Sorry.
