Blog Primer

Last week, Mom and I had an interesting conversation. We talked about blogs and their future impact on news delivery. It's my opinion that blogs will transform how we get news, much like how the internet transformed how we receive other forms of information. She asked me for blog "hand grips", or blogs that I regulary frequent for information.

Here are a few places that I visit often for news stories:
1) Instapundit is a good starting point for anyone. Glenn Reynolds is a law professor at University of Tennessee, and is a very popular blog for anyone who wants to know what is happening in the political world.
2) Ann Althouse also has a good website and is in Wisconsin.
3) Venturpreneur is also a good site, once again from Wisconsin.
4) Technorati sums up blogs on different subjects.
5) Sometimes I just check out this old debate blog page and look for something new to read.

Some other interesting blogs:
1) Anne has a blog also, and shares the same birthday as I do (too bad she lives "Outside" -- HA!)
2) Madeleine Kane specializes in political humor.
3) Cooking for Engineers tells you everything you need know about analytical coooking!
4) The Daily Meme has blogging games -- think of them as writing skill puzzles -- for your blog.

So, when you get a chance, get out there and read!
