The “Wrist Watch” continues, and I’ve got to say, Craigslist guru Craig Newmark needs to be named as some sort of ambassador of wrist strength, pronto (I’m sure Stephen can come up with a better job title). In addition to sporting his own WristSTRONG bracelet with pride and ensuring that the BBC’s Richard Sambrook took up the cause, he’s also enlisted the aid of Wikipedia founder and fellow friend of the show, Jimmy Wales:

Jimmy Wales from Wikipedia shows wrist injury awareness

Jimmy and Louise McBain Blouin, at OneWebDay. Jimmy’s much more famed than me, so I was obliged, by Colbert rules, to give him my WristStrong bracelet.

(I have spares.)

(the gf still refuses to give me hers, per rules.)

Mr. Newmark also brings us tidings of another friend of The Report who was seen raising wrist awareness, the fabulous Arianna Huffington (internal link omitted, for obvious reasons):

Arianna supports WristStrong at OneVoice bloggers’ event

(yes, a bad photo)

She made a reference to my “gorgeous” gf, which is true, but… I still haven’t gotten the wristband from her.

also, the No Fact Zone picked up my giving a wrist band to Richard Sambrook who runs BBC World Service, which I listen to a lot, like now.

All that, and a shout out to NFZ, too? Thanks, Mr. Newmark!

(By the way, there are a more pics of Arianna and the OneVoice event here.)
