Blogapalooza

by Frank Paynter on January 24, 2008

Ronni has a great post inviting her readers to dig into her blogroll and find a new (to you) blog and review it. I did itprairiemary was the blog I found. Mary (prairie mary) Scriver has links to sbpoet (Sharon Brogan) and (in her sidebar) to 2blowhards. It was a pleasure to reconnect with these sites as well. Sharon posts a copy of her “real writer certificate,” which reminded me of Barthelme’s The Dolt, bringing me full circle into the self-referential framework that is too often my blogging. (Of course the only similarity between Sharon and The Dolt is that they both refer to writing certificates, a funny concept on the face of it).

Other stuff that’s bubbled up in my browser tabs…

Liz Ditz posting on the scientific assessment of mercury in childhood vaccinations as a cause for autism (Not! so don’t believe ABC when they show their contrived story about the “conflict” of opinions here)…

A List Apart caving in to Microsoft’s rejection of browser standards? (Thanks to Shelley for that link)…

Snorri Sturluson, who needs no introduction…

Settling Old Scores by Beethoven (thanks to AKMA for the link to Michael White’s recent column. By waiting a few days my urgency to write ham-handedly about Foucault and Stephen Hero yakity yak has left me and I’m left with a pleasant read by a good journalist and a good and decent blogger)…

The Blush of the New by Lee Siegel

Edelman’s white paper on distributed influence in social media is still lurking out there like a big white whale in bermuda shorts with an aloha shirt, a straw hat, shades, and a rum punch with an umbrella in it. I hope to put a toothpick in it and serve it on a Ritz cracker soon enough. Thanks, Technobabble. And thanks too to the RJR Nabisco Corporation for product placement on the Ritz cracker, the foundation for the finest ordure.
