I've updated my Blogroll.
First I've moved Body and Soul to the top of the list because I find her writing so consistently excellent and compelling.
Next, I've moved Theoblogical Community to the next spot. I wanted to feature Dale's site better both because it was his passion for blogging and online community which inspired me to start blogging, not to mention that I've met him FTF.
I've added several blogs which I check regularly:
Alas, a Blog and This Modern World are both left-leaning blogs by cartoonists. Thus they interest me on both of those points.
Talking Points Memo is another blog that I check regularly and features excellent political commentary. It was Mr. Marshall who made a significant difference in pursuing the Trent Lott scandal which kept it before the public until the mainstream media had to take notice.
Joho the Blog is by occasional NPR commentator David Weinberger. This blog has a more computing oriented focus than the other blogs I've mentioned, but David frequently discusses the policital and community implications of that technology.
Finally, there are some blogs that I enjoy but which are not always so focused on particular topics.
[ q cubed ] is the blog of my daughter's boyfriend. He and I have helped each other with our computing. It was Marquis who pointed me to Movable Type as interesting blog software. Besides, his blog includes a link to mine. It is only fair to return the favor.
Wil Wheaton Dot Net is the blog of the actor who played Wesley Crusher on Star Trek, the Next Generation. I never liked the character much as the writers kept making this kid into the genius savior of the ship. I mean, one of the few times Wesley really screwed up was when he accidentally created a new life form. Created life by accident? Give me a break. But I saw links to his site back when I was reading FARK a good bit. Upon checking out the site I found that Wil has grown into a fairly interesting young man. Good for him. I find his writings are often fun to read, sometimes with some interesting insights.
Well, I guess that's enough for now.
