Blogs of Note

Yesterday I checked out some of the Blogs of Note catalogued here on Blogger. One was about global volunteerism and seems to draw on the contributions of a number of people who have travelled to foreign countries in order to volunteer their time, energy and skills. It was inspiring to read about various experiences (and travel tips -- such as pedestrians do not have the right of way in China!) and how they changed the volunteers' lives. Here's the link: http://www.globalvolunteers.org/blog/

The other is on the ethics of blogging, and deals with issues such as blogging anonymously, what kinds of rules should apply to blogging, blogging in oppressive regimes, etc. Here's the link to this blog: http://ethicalbloggerproject.blogspot.com/

I recommend both highly. Finally, we have a published comment from a gentleman who claims to have written a book on the meaning of life. Please read his comment and do check out his blog, who knows, he may be on to something. Granted, in Douglas Adam's book, Life, the Universe, and Everything, a massive computer that had been working on the ultimate question for millions of years finally arrived at its conclusion: the answer to life, the universe, and everything was 42! It would probably take humanity and all the other sentient life forms in all the galaxies another billion years or so to work out what that answer meant. But whatever his answer, his blog is sure to raise some questions worth pondering.
