In reciprocation, The Harper’s Weekly Newspapering & Lithographing Company will be issuing woodprints of their review of Ashton Kutcher’s Steve Jobs.

I’m only about 30 miles away from Lawrence at the moment. They’re having some different events during the day, so I may visit as well as following the feed.
@slowglowing You could also check out their website, they have the updated feeds as well as other resources.

Lawrence was hardly one of the “early battles.”
