Happy Nell Minow Day

As I've written here in the past, the wonderful Nell Minow wears many seemingly-incompatible hats.  Beyond being one the leading world experts on corporate governance, testifying before Congress on occasion, she also writes movie reviews, as The Movie Mom.  (Though the hats may be incompatible, it makes her very stylish.)

Well, as life would have it, she's been packing lately, and shuttering her Movie Mom site that's been hosted by Beliefnet, and moving her online work back to Chicago, electronically speaking and will now be writing for RogerEbert.com, officially as of today.  I don't know yet if she'll have her own section there, but for the moment she's busy unpacking her pencils and stash of Milk Duds, so we'll have to give her time meeting the other kids.  Updates as they occur.  Operators are standing by.

This new situation doesn't come wildly out of the blue.  Nell has a long history with Roger Ebert -- the fellow himself, not just the eponymous website.  She filled in for him once in a while, writing some guest reviews for his Chicago Sun-Times column, and was hired by Ebert as a correspondent on his last TV series.  So, it's sort of like old home week.  Just with the "week" being a whole lot more long-term.

So, hat's off!  No matter how seemingly-incompatible they may appear.
