Over the years we've talked a little about doing some kind of "Great Basin Archaeological All-Stars" trading cards. Maybe we could do a trial run here on FOF. We could come up with legitimate profiles for all of our favorite friends, with a brief biography, research interests, and selected bibliography. That way, if we ever talk about "Joel", we could link his name to his profile. This would be particularly helpful for the uninitiated.
On a sidenote, I'm thinking about organizing a lunchtime forum here at ASU to talk about blogging and its potential uses. That might mean a bunch of people looking at this site. We'll see if I decide to do it.

YES! The trading cards would be great. We've talked about it before, but never really gotten into it. Linking names to cards/profiles would also be quite useful for any outsiders.
Chris, if you are planning on doing a blogging forum at ASU I'd be happy to send you a copy of that article (unless you can find it again on the internet), and update my tech blog...it's been a while.
Maybe you and I need to remove some of the more raunchy ones, unless you think you colleages won't be by later to look at the dirt. Otherwise, great idea. Maybe even a good paper for SAAs 2007.
As I've said in the past, I think the Great Basin All-Stars is a fantastic idea. We should get some printed like baseball cards and have them ready to sell at the GBAC in the fall. I'm tellin you, people would buy them.
They really would sell like...like...well, like some sort of brilliant simile relating to pot-hunted artifacts...I can see it now. We could beta test them at field school =) You guys and your genius ideas.
