Today marks the launch of the re-branded/organized/titled/conceptualized version of the podcast/public radio show The Sound of Young America now called Bullseye with Jesse Thorn. As was the case with TSOYA, Bullseye has pop-culture-y interviews and comedy stuff. Oh, and in the first episode Jesse interviews a few cast members from everybody's favourite costume drama - Downton Abbey.
In honour of this event I thought that I might mention three other things from the internet that are either new or in the process of re-imagining themselves.
1) When Jessica, an early reader of this blog, moved to Korea about two years ago she expressed an interest in engaging in some form of blogging or blogging-like activity to communicate her experiences in her new place of residence. It seems that the prospect of being "a blogger for the government of Korea" finally motivated her to create her own blog a few weeks ago. And now that she has been selected by the Korean government to participate in their blogging program she will also be posting on their blog.
3)Andrew, a fellow Brinton Memorial Elementary School alumnus, has also recently started a blog after seeming interested in the prospect for some time. Andrew's blogging goal is to watch and review at least 365 movies over the course of 2012. At last count he has posted five such reviews. If he doesn't watch out me my overrun his goal, and that wouldn't be fun for anyone would it?
3) To get back to the re-branding/imagining theme I first touched on with Bullseye, Jeannette has recently re-imagined her long-ignored Chinafax blog and is now using to document her exploits in the uncharted territory that is veganism in Wolfville. This one is definitely worth checking out as I even get a shout or two as being someone who is not entirely antagonistic towards such a venture.
I think that just about wraps it up for new things on the internet. I can't imagine that there might be more than three of them, that would probably be just a little too much for the information super highway to accomodate.
Note: Using 'blog' so many times in a single post makes me feel like a bit of a loser. Sorry to have tarnished so many fine endeavours with this questionable word.
