View From The Porch » Brrr!
Posted 15 minutes ago
It was a balmy 18 degrees out when I stepped out to get the paper, and it may get up to a sweltering 33 today.The sun is out, but I'm not sure what good it's doing. I think I'll go emit some CO2; or maybe run the car for a bit to contribute to the "urban heat island".Unless it snows, ... [Link]

I first heard about the YA vampire literary sensation, “Twilight,” when my friend Kathleen blogged about reading it. Since then, of course, it’s been all over the place, since the movie comes out this week. And then my 13-year-old daughter brought the book home from her father’s, and was raving about how much she loved it. Personally, I am not ... [Link]

Mommy Moments » QUALITY TIME
Posted 28 minutes ago
There was a post on a Mom Board about spending time with your kids... And it brings up a good point.. How much time do you really spend with your kids?  Not driving them here and there, or cleaning or cooking, or head in the computer (my hubby)  or reading a book or yelling, while they are in the same room.  But Quality time ...

We're getting a (very) few snow flurries over here in Blount Co. The thermometer says 33.3 degrees. Gotta run, need to get over to Kroger for some milk and bread, assuming the roads aren't already too bad. (P.S. Can someone remind me what it is we are supposed to do with all that milk and bread when it snows?) KnoxViews ... [Link]

Or something like that. The network has picked up repeats of the cult hit "Jericho" and will be airing it 7 p.m. Sundays starting the last Sunday of this month. The show only lasted 2 seasons -- and one of those was very short. What do you think? [Link]

“The general rule of thumb is that women can watch men, but you’re not supposed to have men watching women,” Langford said. The "Ready, Fire, Aim" crew on our County Commission are now starting to actually do the arithmetic on our new county icon, and it looks like it will cost us all more than they figured. Ok, they DIDN'T ... [Link]

Not too big of a shock here, but ABC is getting rid of "Pushing Daisies," "Eli Stone" and "Dirty Sexy Money." I can do without "Dirty Sexy" -- Peter Krause surely only did this soap for the $$$ after his brilliant turn on "Six Feet Under" -- but I object to the decision to bounce "Daises" and "Eli," especially "Eli." ...

I sent some stats to Scott Karp on what I think is a pretty successful example of "link journalism." (Karp is credited with coining that term and has a company, Publish2, built around the concept.)Like articles, the reader interest in content that is a set of links varies with the subject matter, but in instances where readers want everywhere scrap ...
