Blogs in the news
The comedy news show Daily Show with Jon Stewart is one of the best sources for news. It is disturbing. They recently won a Peabody Award which are generally given for news organizations. Crazy. Tonights show they covered the fact that several news organizations had regular spots which covered blogs. How crazy is that? News organizations that use blogs as news. What will they think of next? Evidently the only major american news source that hasn't gone this route is Fox and I don't know what to think about that.

A useful new phone tool developed by a friend of mine is Amabuddy which is software that allows you to text an ISBN number or CD bar code and then returns a price comparison. The best part is that if you are in a shop and you see a book you want you can instantly check it out online via text. It even gives reviews. Try it out!
