Ohio - the Heart of the IP Blogosphere
Politically speaking, Ohio is in shambles right now. 
We’re traditionally quite red, but have suddenly become fairly purple, thanks to several black marks arising out of the northwest part of the state (which I call home). Despite all the controversy, we do have some good news to report. The Buckeyes have a solid lock on number 1 and their fearless leader Troy Smith appears to have at least his first name engraved on the Heisman Trophy right now.
But wait…there’s more. We also recently became the center of the IP blogosphere. That’s right….little old Ohio is officially the center of the IP blogosphere. How can that be, you ask? Well, Jake Ward (Anticipate This!) recently announced that he is moving to my former firm, which is also based here in OH. Add in Promote the Progress, the Patent Baristas (Cincinnati), and Doug Miller’s blog (now in the same firm as Jake), and I think we can legitimately stake a claim on being the IP capitol of the blogosphere.
I’m debating sending a note to our new Governor, proposing a change in the tourism slogan.
Nipper is scrambling to determine if his beloved Idaho can compete with the Buckeye state.

Dennis Crouch from the ‘patently obvious’ blog splits his time between Boston (assistant prof. at BU law school) and Chicago (where his law firm is).
So I am sure that he flies over Ohio at least sometimes(maybe he even flies via Cincinnati).
Also we can invoke the joke about the 3 statisticians who are hunting deer:
a) the first statistician misses to the left by 3 feet.
b) the second statistician misses to the right by 3 feet.
c) the third statistician jumps up and yells ‘you got him!’
Scrambling?
I think you have me topped. I can only count four Idaho IP bloggers (and I think one of them has retired).
