Some critical theory, some public discourse, and some general nerdiness.

The use of blogs allows for a certain amount of reflection and commentary on ideas, events, or texts. Here is a blog that has posts that are analyses of readings of Philosophical Investigations written by the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein. This is a case of philosophy being accessed by the general public in a direct and readable way.

There are many types of anarchism and libertarianism, and many of them have resources on the Web. Here is a centrist type of anarchism, while here are two blogs with differing opinions of libertarian ideas.

The format of blogs can be used in many new inventive ways. Here is a blog that is committed solely to film and is an exploration of new movie releases and cinema criticism. There is another site that is dedicated to esoteric and unusual films that are also well made.

The Green Party national convention was held in Milwaukee from June 23rd to the 27th. There was a great amount of discussion and political negotiation between those who supported David Cobb and those who wanted to endorse Ralph Nader and Peter Camejo. Cobb got the nomination in the second round of voting with California and New York leaning towards Nader. From my experience as a delegate from New York I found that there was a respect for the nomination, while at the same time party members were willing to work to get Nader on the ballot in the state and elsewhere. The following month, from July 6th to August 17th, is a time for getting signatures to get on the ballot for New York and will be a very busy time.
