DC Blogs Noted
The Algorithms and Porn of Foo
Eat Foo(d)
This is a new blog about food – news, commentary, photos, restaurant reviews and anecdotes -- that includes five DC writers. The blog, started by local blogger David Barzelay, explains itself here. But you can get an idea of its creative reach by scanning through posts that range from Crème Brulee to insects: Believe it or not, the guacamole scares me more than the bugs, notes one writer. There’s a discussion on complimentary appetizers, as well as the puzzling case of Checkers and its missing nutrition information.
Most DC neighborhoods rely on mailing lists to network, but the Mount Vernon Square blog is showing how neighborhood groups can potentially make effective use of blogs. It’s been operating since April with posts that include minutes from a recent neighborhood association meeting, a query from someone seeking an “air conditioner guy,” and an inquiry about old firehouse at New York Avenue and M Street that's undergoing renovation. Check this blog out – it may serve as a good model for other neighborhoods groups.Also Noted:
