Definitely no expert, but I would think the fact that they all get paid and have advertising puts these blogs in a grey area beyond "personal" at the least.

I love urban exploration photo galleries and accompanying narrations like this, but I also hate them because the adventure of it all makes my life seem incredibly dull.

Gawker media is hardly a collective of personal blogs.

Never, ever thought this guy was funny and his continued success is still baffling.

looked that movie up on wikipedia and it looks interesting. thanks for mentioning it, I'm gonna try and check it out.

would love to see pre-clean-up pics of that shelter!

This flash fiction evokes G.K. Chesterton for me. Nice work, Annalee.

At first I didn't get it, then I got it.

that one's gotta be the casino...

Indeed, great "job" Diaz!

I'm not one of the Dr. Drew haters. He has addressed the filming and compensation of the participants as "however we get them in, the treatment is real and that's worth it" and I will accept that for now. You are right about a lot of it being creative editing, but if it turns out that producers are encouraging any…

I bet Uncle Ben would have told him the veteran advice of "never join the military because you're depressed or broke up with your girlfriend."

As for sheer entertainment value and curiosity, I look forward to seeing Sean Young and Bai Ling. On the same token, I don't want to see Binzer show up yet…

Glancing over the full MIT article, I don't really see these questions addressed — just statements about "more efficient" and "lower cost". I want to know things like how long a full charge lasts and if it's in any way safer than traditional batteries.

I've never been to an Alamo Drafthouse or a theater like it, and while I love the response they made, you have brought up some good points to consider. Now that I think about it, I can't imagine wanting to try and watch a movie while people are dining and drinking at the same time. I already glare at my wife if she…

I'm about to make the move back (I moved to Austin from New York two years ago and am returning in August) and I'm going to try to go to the Alamo as much as possible before leaving. I'm going to miss it so much! And queso.

Wait till you come across the post about the proper way to wipe your rear end.

@Eldritch: If you're truthful, you know you "jerk awake" much more often than once a week.

@ltwass: Those will roar back intensely once you quit the heavy drinking ;)
