Fall blogs: food, fashion, and other fluff

John Roberts sailed through the nomination process but what do bloggers have to say about the Harriet Miers nomination? www.huffingtonpost.com has among its tabloid style links a scathing commentary by George Will on the president’s latest choice. Perhaps conservatives will demand some intellectual effort from this administration yet.
There is a fashionista lurking inside each of us. www.glam.com has a collection of blogs sure to keep you on top of trends for fall, winter, and beyond. A sample includes www.fashiontribes.typepad.com and www.shefinds.com/blog. The site also features www.popgadget.com which is sure to help you find the latest and greatest gadgets available. Take a bottom loading oven with an elevator. What makes it great? Go read about it at popgadget.
Go watch a blog over at www.crashtestkitchen.com Australian foodies, Lenny and Waz, invite you into their kitchen, wherever it may be, to watch them cook. Global Gastronomy at www.globalfoods.blogspot.com has an alphabetical guide to food links from around the world. If minimal kitchen effort is what you’re looking for go to www.breakfastbowl.blogspot.com. All cereal, all the time how much easier can you get?
Weeknights you can pick your poison and either watch the Donald tell the latest unfortunate one, “you’re fired” or tune in each week as Martha perfects her tag line for would be domestic divas. www.theapprenticeblog.com or www.theapprenticeblog.com/marthas_appretice both have it covered no matter which apprenticeship you prefer. Participants are briefly summarized with a snapshot and quotes. This could be the answer to the ratings challenged Miss America pageant. Missed an episode? No problem as they have recaps of each episode and results are tallied in a score board fashion.
Quick, name this quote. “Mergers and acquisitions looking a bit stodgy?” Not if you’ve paid attention to AOL lately. Their purchase of Weblogs, Inc gives them a much firmer toe hold in the blogosphere. Where can you learn more about this business side of blogging? Go to www.blogherald.com and read about the people and numbers that tell the story of blogging for profit. Go visit any of the Nick Denton blogs to find what he has to say about the rumor of Gawker media being purchased. Try the namesake blog www.gawker.com and get your New York celebrity gossip as an added bonus.
Send your comments, suggestions, and guesses about the quote to the Blog Hunter forum at www.fortwaynereader.com.
