I've really gotten into Flickr. It is amazing what other people capture on film (or the digital equivalent). Here are some of my favorites:

I'm checking out a new blog called Mousewords. While my verdict is still out, I thought'd share a story she posted this morning. After talking about all the dumb things people do in Texas she shares this tidbit:

Just to make his life a little harder, my friend laughed and turned to her husband and asked him to tell us about the crosswalks in the suburban Washington neighborhood his parents now live in. Apparently, each crosswalk has a stack of orange flags on each corner. The legal protocol for crossing the street is to hit the Walk button, wait for the signal to turn, grab two flags and wave them in front of you as you cross the street, for maximum visibility. How dramatically you wave them is completely up to you, as is the choice to throw in a little soft shoe as you make your way across the street.

That is one of the dumbest things that I have ever heard of.

The Columbia Journalism Review's excellent blog, the CJR Campaign Desk, has an interesting discussion of the role of gender in the Blogosphere.

Sadly, Kevin Drum, aka Calpundit, is giving up his weekly Friday cat blogging. I'm sad to see the weekly Inkbolt and Jasmine update go, but perhaps I can pick up some of cat blogging market share for Gabe and Lolli.

If cats and dogs could blog …

I was going to write on this subject myself, but Atrios pretty much says everything I was going to say.

President Carter, the best ex-President ever, has his own weblog over at the Carter Center. It is really just dispatches from his trip to Africa posted by the staff at the center (written by Carter), but it is more than any other ex-president has tried to do. That makes him perhaps the coolest ex-President too.
