MORE EXTRAORDINARY WEBLOGS

• Unknown News reports news that you probably haven’t read anywhere else. Readers submit first-hand accounts and interesting stories from the local press, and reading it is as addictive as potato chips.
• As We Know It is embroiled in a debate on post-modernism, and has a whole Darwinian category on ‘selection theory’, for those that follow Dawkins or Gould.
• Robert Patterson is blogging about a new Renaissance and Original Affluence, the concept I earlier ascribed to Peter Jay that pre-civilization man lived an easy, unhurried and happy life, not the nasty brutish one we’re led to believe.
• Science Blog reports the discovery of electrostatic rotation in subatomic particles, one that could revolutionize our understanding of matter, and make Einstein ‘spin’ in his grave.
• The EatonWeb Portal categorizes over 10,000 blogs, and lets you browse for birds of a feather. You’ll probably find your blog isn’t listed, so take ten minutes and add it while you’re there.
• Truthout is great one-stop shopping for alternative news and op-ed, on the war, of course, but also on economics, the electoral system, the environment, women’s rights, and a bunch of other issues. Author William Rivers Pitt includes some of his own well-written analysis in his op-ed section.
• We Want the Airwaves is exclusively focused on media concentration, plans for further deregulation in the U.S., and the conservative domination of the media. And for up-to-date listings of Who Owns What, check the Columbia Journalism Review ‘s database.

I will be in New York tomorrow and unable to blog, so my next post will be Saturday. It will be another of my twisted short stories (if I get it finished in time). Thought for the day, from last night’s Law & Order: You Are The Process.
