Times Books has agreed to publish my book, Everything is Miscellaneous.

I’m very happy about this. They are a great publisher and my editor, Robin Dennis, is going to give the guidance I need to write the book in a way that people (we hope!) will want to read. She is, by the way, Jay Rosen’s editor as well.

I have a year to write it and should come out in Jan. 2007, which only sounds like a long time away if you’re not facing it as a deadline. [Technorati tag: EverythingIsMiscellaneous]

Speaking of Jay, his blog won the Reporters without Borders Freedom Blog award. Woohoo! Where would we be without PressThink?

Jay graciously points to his fellow winners:

It’s a serious honor to share that page with Shared Pains, which is a blog from Afghanistan in Arabic, with Al Jinane, written in French by a Moroccan, with ICTlex, which is like an Italian Lessig, with netzpolitik.org, or Net Politics in German, and especially with Mojtaba Saminejad of Iran> (whose story of imprisonment is told here and here) and Screenshots…by Jeff Ooi (see Dan Gillmor on Ooi’s struggle with the thought police in Malaysia.) For them, international recognition is vital, possibly a matter of life and death.
