My blog!
On the plus side, the site features interesting and diverse news items with links. Summaries are short and lucid.
On the downside, the site could have more links. Moreover, I want something else out of a blog. That is, while the thesis is interesting and the site covers a range of timely topics, I didn't see a lot of analysis or comments just news.
Pretty good. I'll probably be back.
