Orwell, definitely,” said Instapundit’s Glenn Reynolds. “Marx would have had to acquire a bit more ‘snap’, I’m afraid, to have made it as a blogger.”Time for the last post Financial Times 17 Feb 2006Well, no to most of this actually.

bloggingheads.tvIf I hadn't checked Arts & Letters it wouldn't be in my domain....The subjects covered are wide, so will link it to moleskine modality too. Not real time but you can see the potential. Not long before it is possible to buy a bespoke for one of these.

RconversationHyerGeneMediaBlogKeeping up- to-date on the latest weblog related things is pretty difficult, but these two sites help the update: one run by a former CNN journalist based in China, the other grandly called part of the Corante Network and Media Hub. I hate the word hub when used in IT context. I can't exactly say why, except can't see the word without thinking about a car part.

As you will be quite aware, this faltered at the first hurdle: boredom. I could not possible keep on checking everyday first thing, when there is so much else more worthwhile to look at and study. Been writing a bit more in baghdadskies since a bit of reading stimultated me. Unless you are keen on blathering over understanding it is inevitable that your weblogs are going to suffer post-wise.

Everyone else seems to come across the tiddlywiki yonks ago. Since discovering it a few days ago, I am keen to start one because the style seems to fit more with my pattern of posts e.g. moleskine modality.The weblog lost a lot by having no direct page to page internal links (though that is what category links serve as). replacing your weblog with a tiddlywiki solves one set of problems but
