– In personal news: Kat’s son finally made an appearance on August 19, 2011 at 7:20 AM — 8 lbs, 13 oz, 22″ long. Welcome to the world, Jack! Meanwhile, the blog should be business as usual (at least with guest posts) if the Gods of the Scheduled Post cooperate.

Congratulations, Kat! I appreciate the irony of posting the Penelope Trunk article at the top of the post and your baby news at the bottom of the post, proving Penelope wrong about over-achieving chicks being able to have it all. You’re an inspiration and I’m so glad to have this community of women that you’ve put so much work into creating and maintaining. Best wishes for your new family!
