I updated the best blogroll in the Burghosphere thusly: Took out Pittsblog, TWM and The Conversation. I must say, this stung to do. Those were three of the best blogs in Pittsburgh but all have been discontinued for one reason or another. If you are new to blogging or new...

Cabbage is good for you, mayonnaise is not: Sometime in the last month the Blog of Burgher Jon crosses 1,000 visits and 1,500 page views (the page views came first). While these achievements pale in comparison to other blogs in the blogosphere and even the burghosphere it is nice to...

I am pleased to announce that the “Blog of Burgher Jon” is now not only the property of Burgher Jon. My brother, Burgher Clayton, is joining the team. I have had the pleasure of listening to Clayton’s opinions over many rounds of golf, fine scotch whiskeys and plumes of cigar...

I’m changing jobs in the coming month and it is going to mean a move from Pittsburgh to Charlotte, NC. Since I have been discussing this with family and friends for weeks I am very aware of the common questions, so I thought I’d run through the FAQs with my...

I was on vacation and didn’t post much last week. Mostly because of a week internet connection. Here are some of my less then post-worthy observations of a week gone by though: The Steelers aren’t going anywhere. I talked with a recruiter from Pittsburgh on Wednesday and he finished the...

Based on this post, either Char reads my blog or great minds think alike. Either way, I’m feeling pretty good about myself. Seriously though, read her post instead of mine. She has a better breakdown of Luke’s responses as well as some input from City Council members.

Yo Yo Yo, I’m too lazy (and now too pressed for time) to read the news and give you a post about current events, I do have a few personal points: I’ve been invited to participate in the Pittsburgh Men’s Bloggin Society. I’m stoked about the invitation and I highly...
