I’m quite keen on publishing in many forms, especialy web publishing, and I support the availability of publishing resources to many, many people.

This article, therefore, makes me a happy person. As a matter of fact, the rest of Cool Tools, and indeed Kevin Kelly’s entire site are especially interesting. Blog style news sites seem to be palatable informatives, and the Gawker media consortium’s gamut proves mildly indispensable to my daily information collection, with special emphasis on Gizmodo‘s feed for a tech toy habit to rival any coca/opium dependencies.

But I don’t leave public-personal journal style blogging out of the mix. MarkDrago.com and DogPoet lead my own drive to blog, along with my desire to see John blog here a bit more than he does. I can’t quite remember who it was that recommended DogPoet to me. This person deserves my thanks. Michael shows alot of great talent in writing, and his ability not only to interest, but to captivate me comes as a surprise. A paragraph into the first blog entry I read on his site some five months ago and I could tell that I would frequent this nook for some time.

So that’s it. That’s the post, and it was brought to you by my undying love of information in all forms. Blogs yield no exception, and I feel happy to have them support my regular pleasure-reading of dead-tree style books in various short and long formats.

Note: I suppose I should explain that the image is only tangentially related to the post as it comes from one on my less frequented blog roster, the lithium journals, but damn, if he isn’t so cute like an innocent little hatemonger.
