wendy and brentI have just been asked to be on CBC’S Test The Nation on January 20. On the bloggers panel.

You know the show, an IQ kinda test where they throw up quiz questions for you to “play at home” while you compare your answers with esteemed panelists from different occupations across the country. Last year they had radio peeps on the show, I figured that’s where I was headed, until I got the forms - they want me to sit on the blog panel.

Now, I’ve been “blogging” since 1995, so I don’t feel totally out of place. I taught myself HTML and have written web lists and editorials and newspaper columns and hosted radio shows on technology since the early days of dial-up, so I’m worthy.

But I’ve only had a reasonable WordPress blog for 2 weeks. So compared to local blogebrities like NetChick, Miss604, Meg Fowler and John Chow - I feel a little “not worthy.”

But who cares, I’m going to the T-Dot to meet Wendy Mesley. Have crushed on her for nearly 20 years. (She was even on my “list” at one point)

**UPDATE** Miss604 got an invite and will be on the team, as will Ryan from Metblogs.

The Blog According to Buzz. Spread the word, ya heard?.
