Kudos to my friend and mesh-mate Mark Evans who has decided to put his talent where his mouth is (or something like that). Yesterday, Mark resigned his post at The National Post, where he covered the technology scene, and announced that he is becoming VP Operations for the newly-formed b5 blog network. I think a lot of Mark, and know that he believes strongly in the potential of this type of new media. That, plus the fact that they just scored $2 million in VC funding from John Albright's JLA Ventures and Mark Skapinker's BrightSpark, seems to have been what it took to get him to make this big step.

I wish him, and the b5 crew, nothing but success.
