Meg the meme-maker

Meg Hourihan, one of the pair behind Blogger and my partner on the Lafayette Project, isn't just a geek. Sure, she's one of those technology innovator people. But, inspired by New York's professional trendsetters, she's also trying her skill as a meme-maker. Inspired by bad jeans on Manhattan streets, she wondered why there wasn't a ticket for offenders. The story's now been picked up by the New York Sun. Which is flattering -- except it's the New York Sun, which can turn a trend to stone by even thinking about it.
