DC Blogs Noted



World traveler
Mister Jinxy is in China hiking the Great Wall in drenching heat, sharing rich observations and many photos and video as well, including one of him squeezing the moisture out of his shirt. This post received Washington Cube’s highest recommendation: Absolutely totally the best.

If you are a taxi cab dispatcher,
waiting for a cab never tell a customer that it will be “right there.” The taxi cab dispatcher at The Black Top Chronicles reports another tale of weird.

What attendance woes? Brandon at the Curly W attends the Nationals game against the Mets and is joined by 42,506 other people. The place was jammed with tailgaters and up in the cheap seats, he writes, Man, there are some salty characters out there in the cheap seats.

The blog name,
Fight HIV in DC, accurately sums up its focus and direction. It’s run by David Mariner of the AIDS Clinical Trials Information and Orientation Networks.

Survey results: Of the approximately 110 responding to last week’s survey, more than 60% were women and nearly all of the respondents are less than 44 years-of-age. The largest age group, about 60%, is between 24 and 34 years of age. This, I strongly suspect, will change once baby boomers and seniors catch on to blogging. Only 35% said they were married or partnered. By occupation, bloggers covered the map, with the largest group, 26%, indicating they work in media, journalism and public relations. Non-profits accounted for 16%, and “other,” received 23%. We received a ton of comments, which we’re still sifting through, with some good ideas for future direction. The response was better than we hoped, and want to thank everyone for taking time to respond -- kob

Did I rant about it that much? Well. It is good reporting.
