The Deepwater Word vs. The Microblogging Shallows
Technorati recently gave their take on the state of blogging with lots of numbers and percentages — and I would really love to know who these people are who are responding to their questions. Does Technorati know the identities of their responders, or are these people only blindly self-reporting? I never flatly trust any number reported in a poll or a pie chart.

Forget Insurance: Start a Healthcare Fund for Your Pet
One sad fact about adopting a pet is that you will likely outlive your beloved animal and that means you will have to pay for their healthcare in their dying days. When our cat Jack died, 99% of the money we spent for his well-being was used over the last 90 days of his life in an attempt to battle his kidney disease and failing heart and to then provide him the kindest possible end.
