I've been a reporter and business writer at the Lexington Herald-Leader for three decades. Over the years I've learned that some of the most interesting things people do, say, create or achieve never show up in our news columns. They just don't fit comfortably into "the news." The Buzz gathers those really cool odds and ends, and presents them to readers in virtual wrapping paper and ribbons. Suggestions are welcome. Drop me an e-mail.
The Buzz syndicates its weblog posts and Comments using a technology called RSS (Real Simple Syndication). You can use a service like Bloglines to get notified when there are new posts to this weblog.
