This week's blog is An Unexamined Life, written by an anonymous (well, I know who she is because she added me on Facebook) bilingual mother whose kids don't know about it (hopefully they won't figure it out). It's another in the people-I-emailed-in-February- but-haven't-spoken-to-since- so-they-probably-thought- I-forgot-about-them camp.
It's a personal blog (sometimes feeling almost a bit too personal), and very poetic. Check it out.
My bank of blogs to profile is nearing empty, so I'm going to start another round. Know of any local blogs that should get more attention? Email me (blog at fagstein.com). Here are my preferred criteria:
- Authored by a Montrealer or Montrealers, or about Montreal in some way (by Montreal I refer to the greater metropolitan area, including the West Island and nearby shores)
- Updates often (at least once a week)
- General audience (meaning not someone's LiveJournal recounting their daily minutiae and friend dramas)
- Unique in some way (interesting to read, interesting to write about)
- Not one I (or somebody else) has already written about (search this blog's archives for mentions)
Steve, thank you so much for that nice article! As you say, February is long past, and things have changed again! Just this weekend (such weird timing) I told the kids about my blog. (I guess this in itself is post material... hehe). Regardless, thank you again for the very sensitive way you've presented it, I am truly touched :)
oh! and I highly suggest theendofdave.com (migrating right now but hopefully back up very soon).
[...] want to thank Steve for the way he introduced this blog, in the Gazette and on his blog. I am more than flattered and truly touched. It’s quite something to have another’s [...]
Would it be gauche to ask you to look at my blog, urbanphoto.net? It meets all of your criteria.
Sure Chris. I'll pitch writing about your blog, and you can pitch writing about mine ;)
[...] DeWolf. It’s one of the ones that’s been on my list for a while (long before he asked me to write about it). It covers urban life and design with an emphasis on photography. Its contributors include [...]
How 'bout me then, I've been posting pretty pictures for a very very long time.
