NOTE: This Round #2 was initially supposed to be much more comprehensive than the state it’s in right now. Due to an insane amount of activity and involvement Andrew participates in daily the amount of posts I’m able to sort through and archive is extremely time consuming! My secret is the use of the application Google Reader along with Google Alerts. Basically whenever certain terms like Andrew W.K. is posted somewhere online Google notifies me. These articles can build up into the thousands! Although this article consists of only 1/3 of the news that’s happened since December I figured if I didn’t post it now I would just keep getting further and further behind, so here it is.
HELP ME! The official AWK website does not post every bit of news. Although this task would be impossible to accomplish to its fullest, a worthy attempt is the technique I described above. However, time constraints wont allow me to do it all by myself! So, using Google Readers bundle I can share these awk news feeds with you! Help me with Around The World With AWK #3 and dig up the most recent AWK news with Google Readers bundle feature by sending me an email to awkmusic@gmail.com. You’ll be the first to get any news about AWK!
