The More You Know
Is there anything funnier than mainstream media writing about bloggers? I vote no. I give you, as evidence, Portrait of a Blogger: Under 30 and Sociable.
"Bloggers in general don't intend to have a lot of impact," said Amanda Lenhart, who directed the survey. "The motivation comes from within; it tends to be very personal. They're not out to change the world."
"Of all the bloggers out there, there are only about 10,000 that have an audience beyond their friends and families," said B.L. Ochman, a business blogger who tracks online trends."It astounds me that people are willing to do this stuff without getting paid," Ochman said. "I come from a generation that gets paid for our work."
"The average blogger is a 14-year-old girl writing about her cat," said Alexander Halavais, an assistant professor of interactive communications at Quinnipiac University in Connecticut.
Yikes. I don't even know where to start with that(other than I'm over thirty and occasionally blog about my cat). But that was the funniest thing I've read in ages.
Save Our Sonics. I have only been to Seattle once, but I can't imagine it without the Sonics there. Worst. Although the Oklahoma City SuperHornets might not be a bad idea. True Hoop has all the details of the Sonics sale and possible move.
The Sports Guy chooses and EPL team to follow. This is a much better read than you'd think.
New Eric Bachmann (Archers of Best, Crooked Fingers) material over at LHB.
Color me interested.
Has anyone tried out Lightroom? Sounds cool. I'm looking for some software that is better than iPhoto but more photo oriented than Photoshop.

Aperture is better at this point than Lightroom, but Lightroom is still in beta. I tried the previous Lightroom version and wasn't all that happy with it. They both are more photo management than photo manipulation, but feature exposure / color / crop / etc tools.
I use Aperture for about 90% of my post processing now.
Should I be signing the Save Our Sonics petition or boycotting Starbucks?
Ah to be fourteen again and blogging about my cat.
