I just ran across a really funny and true post by Phil Ringnalda. Even though Phil is one of my regular reads, I originally skipped over it because of the title, "Are weblogs journalism?" I've seen so much boring droning on about that topic that I couldn't imagine that there was anything else worth saying on the topic. I was wrong. Phil hits the nail on the head: "doing a journalistic blog means getting to do all the good parts of every job in journalism, without any of the nasty annoying parts. No wonder you keep asking." Phil is right, and he is funny to boot. Recommended.
My apologies, but my web hoster has turned off commenting, due to a flood of obscene spam bringing the server to its knees. I hope to have this weblog transitioned over to Wordpress in the near future, so that I can have commenting up and working again. Until then, please feel free to send me your comments via my email contact form.. Please ignore everything below this comment.
