Internet Nostalgia: Dead Blogs
Posted at Dean’s World here.
School for The Kid is closing in. The roses have been munched by Japanese Beetles (BTW the Japanese call them “American Beetles”; since they eat beautiful things and screw all day the Japanese are probably on to something there.) The garden is starting to look beaten and the days aren’t quite as long as they were last month.
Yep, it’s time for some nostalgia.
I posted this topic last year on The Razor, and thought I would put it to Dean’s much larger audience. What is your favorite dead blog? We will posit that no posts in 6 months constitutes “death”. Link if possible.
Oh, and NO USS Clueless – SDB’s blog – if only because I want some variety in the responses.
I’ll start with Zach Barbara’s Voice From the Commonwealth. I don’t know what happened to Zach: maybe the Kennedy machine is holding him hostage in a bunker under Harvard Yard. However Zach had quite the eye for issues, and his postings on “Comrade Bob” Mugabe stand as some of the best ever done on a living dictator who really, really needs to eat a bullet.
