[X] The Age has a lightweight but encouraging look at the rise of graphic novel acceptability in Australian culture (on the back of Sin City and the upcoming V for Vendetta, no doubt).

[X] Jane Perrone in the Guardian NewsBlog has a solid roundup of the really disturbing Google Vs CNet battle/blacklisting. I can't help but feel there's more to this story, but what we've heard so far seems like a huge abuse of power by Google (or, as Perrone puts it, "Google hasn't just thrown its teddy out of the pram: it has stamped all over it as well.").

[X] USAToday has an article talking about the difficulties for mainstream radio podcasting their shows due to commercial music licenses. Solution: use PodSafe music on the radio! :)

Every person who used the web had the ability to write something. It was very easy to make a new web page and comment on what somebody else had written, which is very much what blogging is about.
