By reading the Internet through a newsfeed aggregator, I have become less interested in article context and more excited about article content.

BL Ochman just mentioned the blog I use to help teach my blogging students blogging, Applied Blogging Workshop, on her blog, WhatsNextOnline.com, in the form of tha article, Articles About Blogs and Blogging, "Chris Abraham has published a links to scores of articles about blogging and how to blog on Applied Blogging Workshop."

At 3:47 PM Glenn Reynolds wrote the following, "HOWARD FINEMAN lists the blogs he reads." Via Instapundit.

Like Howard Mortman, Michael Savage was a guilty pleasure of mine until Mr. Savage left American Right on XM Radio. Luckily, I have just discovered from Extreme Mortman that you can grab the Michael Savage show on WTNT AM 570 from 6PM-10PM. Every night.

If this were an actual emergency, you would have been instructed where to tune in in your area for further news and developments. I repeat, this is only a test.

Counting Hugh Hewitt in his posse, Extreme Mortman continues to take the inside-the-beltway political blogosphere by storm with Howard Mortman’s latest article, Blogs The Famous Media Reads: Howard Fineman.

Its really amusing to see what search terms in 2005 resulted in a link to this blog.

I only make a couple bucks-a-day from all the Google Adsense ads I have on this site. Why do I do it?

Thanks to the powerful comment spam and trackback spam removal tools built into version 3.2 of Movable Type Personal Unlimited I have been able to safely remove "comment moderation" from this blog. So far, so good.

Although I am only a quarter of the way into Naked Conversations by Robert Scoble and Shel Israel, I am duly impressed.

ecto is in fact very underwhelming and buggy but if you need an inexpensive Windows or Mac client software for your blogging pleasure then give it a go. It offers a trial so you can try it out.

This is an attempt at using ecto. I am not sure if it is full-featured enough. Pretty bare-bones.

According to the National Post and Rutgers University, "Research indicates that better [male] dancers attract both more mates and more desirable mates."

To the folks who read my blog, especially those of you who take the time to comment, I am sorry that some of them disappeared. They were hidden under an avalanche of comment spam.

My first blogging workshop for the Writer’s Center and Arlington Arts Center went off smashingly and the students and I got along swimmingly but it wasn’t perfect. Luckily, it turns out to benefit the class and me. Mas tiempo para nosotros.

Ten future bloggers are going to be learning to blog in my noontime Starting a Blog workshop. Thanks to the Writer’s Center (and David Gelles) for the opportunity.

Although I have to admit readily that XM Pops keeps the pop in classical music but who cares? I am preparing my introduction to blogging class tomorrow and this sweet music tames the savage beast

I decided that my blog articles need a little more je ne sais quoi and that requires writing more of myself into its "pages." Taking Writing the Personal Essay with Natalie Wexler every Saturday from 1:30-4 for the next four Satudays is what I feel I need.

Life & Style has learned exclusively that Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes have agreed to call off their wedding and, ultimately will split, The insiders say that Tom, 43, and Katie, 27, plan to keep up the charade of a romance until after their baby’s birth this spring. In the meantime, the couple will live in his Beverly Hills home — though sleeping in separate bedrooms — through the summer. Then, presumably, they’ll announce a separation but Tom plans to buy Katie a home nearby so he can visit his child whenever he wishes.
