This blog is designed to be a place where ordinary people who also happen to be bloggers can post about issues that are important to them, and be heard by wider audiences. If you write for your own blog or for a group blog, you are more than welcome to crosspost those essays here, but we ask that you use that opportunity to tell your readers “this entry is crossposted at the Independent Bloggers’ Alliance. You are also encouraged to post links to stories written by other contributors here. The fact is, the more we get in the practice of linking to each other, the better it is for all of us.
As far as ideology, I expect that we will be something of a mix of moderate to liberal viewpoints, not necessarily loyal to a particular party. Nobody is their best self all the time, but I expect us to make a genuine effort to treat each other with respect, even when we disagree.
If you'd like to become a contributor, drop me a note at ohiorenee(at)gmail.com.
Fess up. What sites do you visit for mindless entertainment, to blog off steam, etc.? I was reminded of the "adopt a virtual pet" site on a recent visit to DemoKat's blog. (Incidentally, I have added the link to her blog *twice* now, but Blogspot is being evil for some reason and keeps dumping it. |

As the tragic and doomed crackhead in Spike Lee's Jungle Fever, Samuel L. Jackson screamed "The shit be calling me!"
As a damned-beyond-all-hope-of-redemption film junkie, the Internet Movie Database is my narcotic of choice. Sitting at the keyboard in front of the screen, I scream "The films be calling me!"
Yeah, it's a "funny, frivolous" site that I take very, very seriously.
Hey, fun is hard work.
I just found this one: Patently Silly: The Humor of Invention.
Huh.
Wow.
This site is a loopy wonderland of splendiferous goofiness! My wife, who is a gadget-loving enthusiast, loves it.
Thanks, Renee.
