I’m changing the name of my usual Saturday “This Week on BNET” posts starting this week. Instead of just focusing on my BNET posts, I’m going to also post other places where I might have written or been mentioned during the week. That may or may not be a frequent thing, but I thought it was at least worth a name change. This week, I had a piece for the New York Times and more, as you’ll see below . . .
