Today is Day 13 of the Wecht Trial and while I've been blogging about the details from courtroom, I've also been writing about it here in my personal blog in the months leading up to it. They provide an interesting look into the thinking behind the questions that prosecution and defense attorneys are asking in the courtroom.
Here's a sampling of those posts. If you click on the pictures below, they'll take you to the individual entries.
Meanwhile, there are some interesting developments at the other end of Grant Street. Pittsburgh Comet Citizen journalist Bram Reichhbaum did some liveblogging himself from City Council chamber on the digital billboard controversy.

Is The Next Steve Jobs A 'Burgher?
Pittsburgh Bloggers godfather Mike Woycheck shared this information about a Pittsburgh Technology Council event for budding entrepreneurs, tech enthusiasts, and technology startups. The EnterPrize Business Plan competition starts on Wednesday with the first of eight workshops. The people taking part go through three phases of competition and judging, with $80,000 dollars in awards, networking, and coaching feedback along the way.
Mike says the goal of the competition is to support local technology entrepreneurs and stimulate economic growth in southwestern Pennsylvania.
Here's a link with more information:

There are two categories to the competition. One is for absolute startups: new businesses with no employees, no money raised... nothing more than an idea.
Even the other category -- existing businesses -- can't have been around for more than three years. The full details are on the site.
Cognitive Dissonance, Pittsblog and Burgh Diaspora have blogged about the competition in more detail.
Here's a link to a Trib story about it.

Hands Across The Burghosphere
You'll notice something new in the right column of my blog's home page this month. What's the widget for? It's 'Hands Across The Burghosphere'.
Readers of Pittsburgh area blogs can join in by using the link to support the work of a local non-profit--Pittsburgh Action Against Rape. The widget posted on participating blogs will be tracking the amount of money raised.
As you can read on the organization's website, Pittsburgh Action Against Rape has been serving Allegheny County since 1972 and is one of the oldest rape crisis centers in the nation.
The online event is the brainchild of The Burgher, the creator of The Burgh Report. The Burger took the initiative in creating it and inviting local bloggers and their readers to take part in 'Hands Across The Burghosphere'.
