Warning: going slightly off-topic. But I had to do a meta-blog post (blogging about blogging). I'm behind in flagging this Time story about blogging parents (or, more accurate, blogging mothers. The words "dad" and "father" never appear ...), which notes that this is becoming a new way for home-locked parents to feel in touch with the outer world. They fail to mention, however, The Trixie Update, which is, without a doubt, the most amazing web site I have seen a good, long time. (Thanks to Daddy Types for the Trixie link.)
