Tuesday March 16th 2010: Blogs Roundup

Thanks to Drid Williams, David Jackmanson and John Clarke for suggesting blogs and blog subjects both via e-mail and on Twitter.

Drid Williams is a fan of Iditarod. It's a sled dog race that happens once a year in Alaska; a uniquely American event as Drid describes it. Drid hasn't recommended any particular blogs but said there are many out there. Snowhook Kennel is one of them. Justin and Rebecca Savidis moved from Utah to Alaska in 2004 hoping to start a sled dog Kennel, train as mushers and to both qualify for and race in the 2010 Iditarod.

David Jackmanson got in touch through Twitter to suggest The Piping Shrike; a blog that provides an insight into Australian politics. In this post, The Piping Striker blogs about what he/she describes as the lack of substance in political media coverage in Australia.

John Clarke suggested his own blog. A Slow Boat to Fiji chronicles his trip across the Atlantic in 1969 when he was working on a cargo ship. John kept a journal at the time and has gone back to it remembering how things felt like back then but also comparing events to his life now as a man in his forties with a job and family. In this post John describes his first day on the ship before they even set sail.
