I’m one of the rare people my age that still reads the newspaper every morning. Michele and I get two papers and read them front to back most days. There’s never usually a suprise due to the internet, but the depth and images are something that the net news doesn’t have down yet.
I was flipping through the USA Weekend ‘magazine’ and spotted an article on weblogs.
It’s a light piece on what they are and kinda makes them out to be diaries of a sort. They mention a way that bloggers could get paid on Blogging Network, so expect a flood of craptastic blogs there.
The real issue is that the knowledge and mindshare of weblogging is making it’s way into the mainstream of America.

I went with a friend to meet up with a bunch of other ‘friends’ of theirs. I hadn’t realized that it was mostly people who knew each other via their blogs. The group was mostly Sys Admin and coder types and they were a loud bunch to be a small bar with. I excused myself to hit the restroom and as I passed another table I head a snippit of conversation along the lines of “those are the type of guys do that ‘blogging thing…” It was funny to hear.
