Friends who blog (and are worth reading)
As I previously mentioned, several of my friends blog about a various array of topics. Recently, a few more of my friends have stepped into the blogging world.
+ Back to Asics - My good friend, Maureen, has started a blog on running. I don’t run, but some of the posts are kind of interesting to non-runners, such as this one about how runners in Kenya literally are chased by angry mobs and have to dodge rocks.
+ In Chambers - Aaron Chambers, Springfield bureau chief for the Rockford Register Star, has started a blog about politics and government in the state capital and some national topics even slip into it. For those who don’t know, Aaron was my boss while during my PAR internship at UIS and it’s great to see him blogging on a regular basis, along with his new intern. It’s a great read if you’re interested in Illinois politics, because Aaron fills it with the stuff that doesn’t make the paper. For instance, this post on Treasurer Alexi Giannoulias and the follow-up post, too. Honestly, I don’t know why the “leftovers” make for more interesting reading material than what’s found in the newspaper, but I think it’s because it’s not rehashing what’s being echoed elsewhere.
That’s it for now. Got a blog you think I should be reading? Put it in the comments.
