Friday? No way

I'm a baaad blogger. Several days have come and gone, and I haven't blogged a single thing about them. To make it up to you, I'm going to link you to some good writing elsewhere. Read this essay, pretend you're an English teacher, and give it the "A" it deserves.

Also, check out Bluffton, South Carolina's experiment in citizen journalism:
