FELLOw CITIZENS (2#) -

It's been a stressful week thus far, which is why I'm late in catching up with our man in the media war trenches . . .

This week, Ben Lagen comments on a blog entry written by Paul Boutin at Wired Mag Online in which Boutin slagged off blogs as sooo "over." But Ben disagrees:

The announcement that "real" blogs have been killed off by paid journalists and marketing campaigns, is to say the least, premature.

You tell 'em, Ben!

Could a hyperactive hamster power your house?

"You would need 120 hamsters working flat out to keep a 60-watt bulb lit... But the average hamster probably doesn't spend more than 5 per cent of its life running on its wheel... Each house would need 100,000 hamsters to keep it powered."

+ I needed a good laugh about now.
