Building a Better Blogtrap

Steve Bainbridge offers this aside in a TCS Daily piece explaining the new direction he’s taking his blog magazine into:

Of course, they’re probably wearing Birkenstocks and writing on a Mac, while sipping Fair Trade coffee and puffing a doobie.

Indeed.

On the other hand, conservative Bruce Bartlett writes in bitching about the freedom of choice made available online. Now there’s something you don’t see every day.

  1. Hmm, I am wearing socks, writing on a Gateway, sipping some Starbucks Sumatra that I brewed at home and have heard music by the Doobie Brothers at different times in my life (and even remember the time that they were on What’s Happening–the very special anti-bootlegging episode).

    But then again I have no problem with the idea of thinking of blogging as competition.
