(Hrm, I wonder why this interests the rooster...) I read some excellent blogs that address (for example) the field of history, along with a smattering of current events, instead of focusing on using a blog as a way (often anonymous) to expound upon the challenges and rewards of existing within the world of academia. I am very interested to see how blogs, technology and digital resources figure into the study of the past -- my sleepy brain is recalling some recent reading about a new site/government humanities funding for digital history archives, as well as a regular blog post on the AHA site highlighting what "they" are reading this week, with selections ranging from journal articles and reviews available online to blog posts on understanding a historian's craft through exploring the lives and papers of historians. cool stuff.
