DC Blogs Noted
How do you like it so far? This blogger, a recent transplant from Seattle who writes at Washington to Washington, shares some thoughts about her
new home and its people. An excerpt: I consider myself a generally friendly person. In fact, I have never been accused of being shy. However, striking up conversations with strangers has been interesting. Something as little as holding a door open to standing in line, I have noticed that East Coasters enjoy their own company – for a lack of a better term.The latest in anti-blogging clothing at Circle V.
Radical Flower puts her camera phone to use documenting “Metro Don’ts.” She makes her point with photos, but one anonymous commenter says there’s a bigger problem, and writes: Anyway, I am beginning to hate people in general because in retail you learn most are rude and none have manners …
Do Capitol Hill residents want to expand educational preschool opportunities? Some residents do, and the writer at The Quick and the Ed points to a recent Washington Post magazine piece about a Capitol Hill mother dealing with a shortage of preschool slots. This effort to enroll in a preschool is happening at the same time the neighborhood has been trying to block a school. Excerpt: It sure would be nice to see moms ... spending a little less time trying to figure out how to game the system to get their kids in existing preschools and a little more time speaking out against restrictions that keep the supply of high-quality preschools on the Hill (and elsewhere in the DC metro area) artificially tight. (Here’s a recent WaPo story on the this neighborhood dust-up.)
A writer who is Jewish-Argentine and has named his blog Ar-Jew-Tino, is making some big changes in his life for his girlfriend, and describes the five things he will miss from living alone.
New blog, How Not to be Dreadful, that also adds in podcasts. In a note, Amanda and Bill, its authors, wrote: The blog/podcast highlights things in our society that are dreadful (such as cougars, raptor attacking, being a bad neighbor, and talking like a frat boy...) and offers commentary and solutions on how to make them better!

Dear Readers,
To those who responded to yesterday’s request to fill out the survey – Thanks! For those who missed it, here’s the message we posted yesterday: Running dcblogs and its live feed requires an ongoing financial commitment, so we are considering adding
sponsorships. We’ve been covering costs out-of-pocket, but want to continue to improve our services to dc bloggers and that will take help. You can help us by responding to this anonymous survey. It will give potential sponsors basic demographic information about the readership. We’re also seeking some general feedback. We’re grateful for your support. Thank You -- kob.

KOB;
Do you plan on publishing the aggregated demographic info? I'm curious about what the structure of DC Blogs' readership is.
UA, Yes, plan to share some of that data. I'll post something Monday.
