Blogger Code Taking a Back Seat to Herding Cats?
Ron Yeany, of the Leather Egg blog, decided the blogging world needed a code—not a code of ethics, but just a blogger code. I do hope Ron didn't get lost in all that code. His most recent blog post seems to have been back in October of last year, when he had become a foster parent to five cats. I have a feeling they've been taking up a lot of his time since then. Having succumbed to the allure of a feral feline or two myself, I can understand how herding cats can take precedence over things like blogger code.

There's a Lot of Truth in Fiction (and Vice Versa)
I love the Chicago Tribune's heading from Cristi Kempf's Personals column: Winfry club prompts new genre: Friction. I can only imagine the disclaimers that writers and publishers will have to come up with in the future as we move into an era where we have blatant mash-ups between fiction and non-fiction. And bookstores will need to come up with a name for the new sections of the written word—Faction? Enbellishments? Tabloid Non-fiction?
This particular Tribune's column focused specifically on Oprah Winfrey's recent book club pick Night
