Back to the Blog Views
The attempt to change the name of “blog views” to “blog slog” didn’t exactly work for me. Once I tried explaining the “blog slog” and heard the word “slog” follow “blog,” I realized it was a mistake. It is a slog mucking through all the wonderfully unique voices of the Charlotte Mecklenburg blogging scene, but there’s something to be said for NOT trying to be catchy.
Also, did anyone catch the season premier of House last night? Dr. House is by far the most dynamic character ever in the history of television. We all know he’s a doodle-bag, but still we fight for him, still he surprises us, still he reveals more of himself to us.

Quick, name 5 hyperlocal bloggers in Charlotte. Hint: this one’s the best. Primary election results for the most important Mecklenburg County election in two decades.
3.
What are those teenagers up to these days? Incidentally, I heard on a recent episode of Wait, Wait Don’t Tell Me that skipping breakfast contributes to this trend.

Before I started Tweeting, I used this for a checklist.
5.
Very cool behind the scenes post from a graphic artist.
6.
MeckDeck is tough on the Observer, but the Observer still considers him an expert.
7.
The truth will out! This is another reason blogs are so great. This couple from Charlotte is spending 11 weeks in Paris (sort of, as you’ll discover) and they started a blog just for it.
8.
Some District-1 City Council result reactions as gathered by Mr. Comer on his assembloge blog.
9.
Because if you have the hubris, you deserve the heat. Note that I don’t think hubris is an intrinsically bad thing. The Charlotte Observer’s royal son stirred the pot a bit with his latest column about media bias.
10.
These Charlotte Shop Talk gals must really despise laughter. Worst dresses go to stand-up comics.
