Around The Blogosphere

Part of the beauty of the blogosphere is that it is open to everyone.  At no other point in human history  have so many ideas, opinions, and experiences been just one click away.  We live in an epoch of globalization in which technology has enabled the instantaneous sharing of information.  The concept is beautiful and frightening at the same time.  Here's a selection of my favorite blog posts from the past week or so.
