THAT LONG-AWAITED UPDATE — WHICH IS TO SAY, IT WAS MUCH-PROMISED BY YOURS TRULY, THEN SEEMINGLY FORGOTTEN, THEN BELATEDLY PROMISED AGAIN, AND THEN AFTER I'D LOST ALL CREDIBILITY ON THE SUBJECT, FINALLY, FOR REAL — WE HAVE AN UPDATEA few weeks back, I promised an "update" to this site. What I had in mind was — believe it or not — a site update. But several things I was going to update about were then themselves updated, and so I put it off. Additionally, I realized that when I promised I probably stop posting on account of work, I would then follow with a flurry of new posts. And when I said I would have an update... then I would not post to the Canard again for a week at least. Or so.
But, here we are. A real, actual, serious, I'm not kidding, site update:
Adding:
- I'm going to add The Blogometer to the sidebar here. Partly as a self-promotion thing (although this site hasn't recorded 100 pageviews in a single day since Kausfiles last linked here earlier this year), and partly as a full disclosure-type thing.
- I'm also adding the Hotline's breaking news blog, On Call, which I occassionally contribute to.
- My eldest sister (the one with German-English ancestry) is living and studying in Deutschland this year, and has started a blog of her own. In English, mostly.
- Abroad and blogging as well is Amber Plaunty, who's just a few doors over in die Nederlands.
- MGB (also of German-English background) has started a blog. I'm not convinced he will keep up with it. Please hound him.
- The Washington Oculus, the blog of Mike Grass, a former editor at DCist. He rounds up interesting DC-ish stories that I wouldn't see otherwise, so, er, I don't have to.
Removing:
- I'm sorry to report that DCSOB has recently relocated to the Windy City. His new blog can be found here. His "25 Most Loathed" people in DC is still woth checking out.
- The Buzz is dead. Long live The Buzz!
- Listen Missy. A good blog, based in DC when I put it in my blogroll, but now relocarted to NYC. So I cannot, in good conscience, continue to blogroll her. So be it.
- There have been other deletions. Guess which!
Additionally:
- Non-Fat Latte Liberal has relocated to a new URL, and I've updated accordingly.
- Re: comments above — The "Me Too" category has returned to the sidebar. I once blogged anonymously, but at this point there is no point in pretending that the person behind the Washington Canard is not also the same person behind these sites. I believe I am more, y'know, "responsible" than I used to be, but we'll see.
Hmm.... I think there we have it. Am I missing anything?
UPDATE — I forgot that TNR shut down the Noam Scheiber-helmed
&c. and opened up a group effort at
The Plank. Changed.
