I was having a conversation about the blog redesign with a colleague (a media consultant). After we discussed the Stock Trader's Almanac dedication, she said words to the effect of "Hey, soon you will have some media quotes about The Big Picture."

I told her I had already accumulated quite a list of them, and she was aghast -- that's precisely the right word -- that they were not prominently displayed somewhere on the blog.

Anyway, here's the short list -- I am not sure whether to embed them in a side column, or to display them as a link. She wants to splash them across the top, but that's simply too much for me.
