Eric Hananoki has been blogging at The Hamster since before most of us ever heard of blogs. He's just announced he'll be winding things up there at the end of next month, but there's a good reason: "As some of you may know, I’ve been involved with 'The Al Franken Show' and its website since Air America Radio started a little over a year ago. Recently, I was offered a full-time job as a show researcher and blogger. I’ve accepted, and will start on May 31." Congratulations, Eric (and we'll miss the Hamster)! Hope this doesn't entail you having to move from Hawaii to Minnesota; I'm not sure I'd do that even for an Air America position...
