in other news —

1. Google Reader is making my life way easier — I got pretty behind on my blog-reading recently because I’m especially busy with work and schoolwork and even using Sage is kind of unwieldy. Things just got much wieldier.

2. The new issue of Reconstruction is all about blogging. I haven’t read it all yet, but danah boyd’s article about defining blogging is good, and important for any of us interested in studying this stuff. There appears to be an article that deals a lot with the exact stuff I want to study next semester in my independent study course, as well. Uh oh. (I don’t think it’s precisely the same, though.)

3. Has anyone else noticed that June is getting rather out of hand in this latest development in “Rex Morgan, M.D.”? She’s bound to get served when Niki’s working mom gets home from a tough day at the meth lab. Especially if her pathetic loser drug addict boyfriend is in tow. And regardless of all the circumstances, who takes a kid into his own apartment and tells him to clean up, besides his parent/guardian? You’re overstepping your boundaries, m’lady, and I don’t feel for you if you incur someone else’s wrath for it.
