Blog 3:
For a couple of months I have been following the Crow Bar Man Cave Blog. In this blog I learn the views of an anonymous blogger that gives his insight of the world wide news on Sports. With the upcoming Super Bowl coming this Sunday. The controversy going around is if Randy Moss is the best wide receiver ever in the history of the NFL. While my personal belief is that Jerry Rice will forever be the best wide receiver, this anonymous blogger feels as if retired receiver Terrell Owens is the best. Jerry Rice has won three Super Bowls, while Owens has won none. This blog is very informative and interesting.
In addition, to keeping up with my sports blog I have been viewing time to time, the blogs of "The Movie Blog." I have lately been infatuated with the blog of Kenny Smith who argues that the Screen Actors Guild Awards and Emmys have a direct relation to the winners of the Oscars. Although history has proven Smith correct, a couple of years ago the "Hurt Locker" won the academy award when James Cameron's Avatar was winning all of the Emmys. I enjoyed reading this blog on the new and upcoming movies in comparison to the classics everyone loves.

This photo shows the rule of thirds with each person taking a third of the picture. Also this depicts their facial expressions when eating lunch.
This photo is a not a good picture because it cuts off the top part of the head. However it does keep the main person in focus with the background a blur, allowing the guy to stand out.

1) India Ink is a blog sponsored by the New York Times, supplemented by many authors, most of Indian descent, some who are not. Most of the posts take place in India, as this blog follows the cultural and news trends in India generally. I think it's a great blog to follow for some upkeep on another culture; it's not traveling, but taking in anything about another culture from more or less objective points of view is a nice learning tool.
2) GadgetWise is another blog sponsored by the New York Times, and is kept up by regular authors who give updates on the latest technology as well as advice and user tips on the latest gadgets or softwares. It is informative, for anyone looking for the latest news, as well as helpful, not quite a self help journal, but it supplements the knowledge of those who are either less or more tech savvy.

Jane Aldridge is an 18 year old fashionista that has inspired many with her blog 'Sea of Shoes.' With her edgy style and interesting persona, Aldridge has been featured in Vanity Fair and Teen Vogue. She recently started a clothing line with Urban Outfitters. On her blog, she breaks down the outfits worn by trademark celebrities and gives readers advice on how to wear the outfit. She alerts readers over the trending fashions and whims of the industry. I really like this blog and actually view it weekly for my fashion needs.
Michael Becker's blog for the New York Times called 'Scientists at Work' gives readers the latest updates on medicine. It also gives medical advice for common and misconceived illnesses. The doctoral student at McGill University recently collaborated in a story about a big fish surgery. I like to go to this blog to learn about random science updates. I love random things like this and Mr. Becker does a good job at keeping the reader updated.

1. Netizen Buzz was started out of a desire to bridge the gap between what happens in K-Pop and why it's crucial for fans who do not live in Korea. Unlike any other entertainment industry in the world, netizens (internet citizens) play a pivotal role in the decision making process of Korean entertainment companies, and their power and influence simply just cannot be ignored. Netizen Buzz covers the top stories in South Korea and netizens' reactions to celebrities who happen to play a large part in Korean politics, society, and entertainment. I read this blog because it gives me an insight into the minds of netizens.
2. Simon and Martina are K-Pop fans as well as a real life couple who travels and covers Korean culture and lifestyle. They often interview actual Korean stars. I read this blog because I'm interested in the cultural side of Korea and the ways of Korean people. Because I don't live in Korea, it's hard to connect with the people so I use blogs to see more of the country.

The Gothamist is an entertainment and news blog all about the happenings in the City that Never Sleeps. The blog itself has several writers, one being Ben Yakas for News. Yakas' writing comes off funny and sarcastic but still informative. His light-hearted banter makes reading his blogs much easier to digest than a regular news journalist. Born and raised in New York and has written for The Encyclopedia of New York and WNYC. He is currently and editor for the Gothamist.
On the flip side of the Gothamist, This Just In is CNN's blog for news and links to CNN's website. Writer Brad Lendon is the polar opposite of Yakas in that there are no funny bits or sarcasm, just hard cold facts. Lendon is currently a manager/producer at CNN but frequently writes for This Just In.

Ann Brenoff is a Senior Writer for the Huffington Post. She is based in Los Angeles and previously worked at the Los Angeles Times, where she wrote the nationally syndicated Hot Property column about celebrity real estate. She blogs about miscellaneous things that include life experiences, thoughts, advice and society. I really like her style of writing and I can relate to a few of the subjects she posts. Because she has many personal experiences, I almost, in a way, learn from her. One of my favorite blogs is “What Do You Call The Person Who Shares Your Life?”
The Big Picture blog in the Boston
Globe is one of my favorite blogs. Several different bloggers like Lane Turner
and Paula Nelson blog about important news events with a series of very large
pictures illustrating those short blogs. Not only are their stories very
informative, but the blog provides images that helps you envision those
scenes. China, Afghanistan and India are just a few of the countries featured
within the blog. Fashion and geography are also featured with incredible
pictures used to aid those stories.

Jonathan Tilove writes a blog about politics for
Austin’s The Statesman. He primarily talks about Texas state politics,
but has some national coverage as well. I’ve covered his blog because it is
hard to pay attention to state politics and events with the federal focus of
24-hour news media. I also care about the federal focus of politics and
Washington events, but state politics and decisions in Austin affect me more as
someone living in Texas. His connections between state and national politics
help me understand the consequences of both, and I highly value Tilove’s
commentary and analysis.
Christopher F. Scheutze wrote a blog posting on New
York Times’ global edition, the International Herald Tribune, about
Europe’s use of electric cars. I enjoy this blog because I enjoy the New
York Times’ stories and publications in general, and the blog a good source
for international, non-sensationalist news in a style I’m familiar with. I have
seen other authors with captivating stories on the blog, like Harvey Morris’
story about mineral wealth in undersea asteroids, for example. I have not seen
coverage like this on normal news media and I will definitely continue to read
this blog.

On his blog for the Lede, "Blogging the News with Robert Mackey," he writes mostly news stories about conflicts in the Middle East, but occasionally he entries are personal. I read his blog reguraly because it is informative and updated regularly. Mackey's writing style is also easy to read and his stories deliver the facts quickly.
2. Richard Dunham writes for the Houston Chronicle and created the Chroncile's blog, Texas on the Potomac. His postings for Texas on the Potomac concern Texas government, and are mostly opinionated supported with facts. I read his blog reguarly because I agree with him on most issues and I care about Texas government.

David Pogue, personal-tech columnist for The New York Times, has been writing a Thursday column since 2000. He covers all areas including cell-phones, televisions, game consoles and tablets. I read this blog regularly because I have a passion for technology and its adoption across the world.

Mark Bittman writes (mostly) about food for the Times Opinion pages, and is The Magazine’s lead food columnist. He is the author of “Food Matters,” which explores the crucial connections among food, health and the environment, and “How To Cook Everything.” He covers the positive and negative sides of what we eat and how we eat. I read this blog because it always informed me about the hazards or benefits concerning a certain food. I feel comfort when I know what exactly is going into my mouth, so this blog showed me the "do's and don'ts" about food and food consumption.

College Fashion is another fashion website that involves a multitude of college girls that contribute to weekly postings. Every week, they have a "Hautelinks" where they scour the web for interesting links and stories relating to fashion, beauty, life and other miscellaneous topics. They also have fashion inspired by movies, television shows and historical figures as well. All of their items are very affordable and are put into collages so that the outfits are organized well. This is a great site for very basic and simple ways of incorporating new trends and styles into a collegiate wardrobe. Most outfits are also relevant to a high schoolers' life, and I really enjoy reading this blog.

Bloggers Germain Lussier and Aaron Blake
Germain Lussier (http://www.slashfilm.com)
Germaine Lussier is a film critic and movie news blogger for Slash Film, an online film blog that covers everything movies. It contains the latest movie news and reviews along with personal columns and opionated or artistic articles that cover anything in the film universe. His style is very distinct in his reviews, blending verbose descriptions of film techniques while throwing in cheeky one-liners and easy-going conversational points that include the reader. Everyone likes to "talk movies", so he blends an obvious advanced opinion with everyday "popcorn chat". When it comes to his coverage of movie news, it is pure personal rambling, shown how he expresses his torn feelings about J.J. Abrams directing the Star Wars Episode VII. Lussier writes out of Los Angeles, California, the heart of the film industry. He graduated New York University's Tisch School of the Arts Cinema Studies program in 2002. After many years of moving around among blogs and online podcasts, he is now a head writer at SlashFilm, which is linked to The New York Times, The Wallstreet Journal, The Guardian and has been featured on many lists for top movie blogging websites. Their slogan? "Blogging the reel world."
Aaron Blake (http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/blogs-columns)
Aaron Blake is a politcal blogger and writer for the blogging section in The Washington Post. He covers national politics and writes regularly for Fix, the Post's top political blog. He is a Minnesota native and graduate of the University of Minnesota. Blake has also written about politics for the Minneapolis Star-Tribune and The Hill. His style is very direct and hard-hitting, and even though his writing can be very biased, he is never short on facts. He is a straightforward writer who doesn't talk around his points and instead of focusing on word choice for emphasis, he will just punch out a word in italics or use an intenional crossout. He covers everything from Romney's future and Obama's inaugural event to GOP electoral vote gambits and opinions on the debt ceiling.

1. Jennifer Steinhauer writes for a blog called “The Caucus” on The New York Times. She writes about the current government policies. Many of her blogs including “South Carolina Governor Closing In on Replacement for DeMint” talks about elections and members of the government. These articles are interesting because I like to know which policy makers are representing me. Her most recent article “Leahy Introduces Modest Gun Safety Measure in the Senate” talks about the steps taken toward gun control. Even though no bill has been passed, I’d like to be kept up to date about the possible solutions to this problem.
2. Cathy Horyn writes for a blog called “On the Runway” on The New York Times. Horyn blogs about fashion and trends of major designers. Some of her articles criticizes fashion decisions while others praise the newest designs. What i like about this blogger is that she blogs regularly, sometimes daily.

1) Mark Mardell blogs for the BBC about American affairs and politics. He covers social, economic, and political issues present in the US, primarily for a UK audience. However, I read his blog because it is interesting how others perceive the US, especially how the US' main ally perceives the US. He was the BBC's Europe correspondent before being assigned to Washington, and this displays in his writing because sometimes he compares European history with US current affairs.
2) Roger Cohen is the foreign editor for the International Herald Times and the New York Times. Previously he was a foreign correspondent. He provides commentary on both foreign and domestic affairs, most recently on gun control and the Middle East. His commentary is from his own perspective, with no party affiliation. His views on the Middle East often contradict other journalists from other papers.

1. Jerome Solomon is a sports blog writer for the
Houston Chronicle. He mainly writes about the Texans, but occasionally strays
away from football and discusses major sports news, such as the Lance Armstrong
scandal. I read his blog because I like to follow the Texans and get insight as
to what to expect from the team.
2. Emma Bryce writes for Green, The New York Time's blog
about the energy and the environment. Usually, she focuses on a specific food
or crop and discusses how that food or crop affects us. In addition, she also blogs
about important world events, such as Hurricane Sandy and the revolution
happening in Libya. I read her blog because I always learn something about how
food and other resources can change the world.

She is always posting about her whimsical stays and activities, paired with her beautifully taken pictures. The range of topics written about on Park & Cube go from the best beauty products sold in Japan to hidden places to eat in Intanbul. I always go back for more... especially because I'm so jealous of her jet-setter lifestyle!

1. Julie Zeilinger writes a popular blog called the F-bomb. She is is originally from Pepper Pike, Ohio and is currently a member of the Barnard College Class of 2015. Julie and the FBomb have been featured in media outlets such as The Daily Beast, More Magazine, Women’s Day and Salon amongst others. Zeilinger’s site is more than just typical teenage angst, hosting an array of voices who aren’t afraid to speak up about what they think is wrong. I am interested in her blog because I want to become active in the feminist moment and stay updated on topics and events.

Greta Van Susteren keeps a blog called GretaWire to keep readers updated on current wordly events. I enjoy this blog because Greta oftens posts videos and pictures, which allows for a more visual update. It is nice to not have to read and decipher political lingo. These videos are often videos that were played as clips in her news show, but it is nice to be able to watch them whenever I want, not just during her hour on air. The videos put a name, face, and voice with the topic being reported on. Additionally, she often posts behind the scenes pictures of her interviews - it is interesting to discover all that goes in to a brief evening news clip.
In the blog Celesto News, the author follows various celebrities from Ashley Tisdale to Jennifer Aniston and Megan Fox. Shannon Filling keeps readers updated on who is wearing what, who is dating whom, who is where and what Hollywood's top names are doing. I read this blog often because I like to be in the loop on the lives of the people who seem to set today's trends. I especially enjoy this blog in particular because the author primarily reports the facts, without injecting her opinion. This allows me to form my own opinion without an outside persuasion.

1. In FOX411, the author follows entertainment sites, giving pictures of celebrities in every post and describing what is happening. Sometimes the posts are critical, and sometimes they are forgiving, but they are always at the heart of current entertainment. The author makes sure to get quotes from the featured celebrity and other parties.
2. In The Z Report, Lance Zierlein follows sports' teams specifically in Houston but also around the country. He is very critical, telling the hard truth about athletes, their performance, their strengths, their weaknesses and what they should offer teams in the future. As football season just came to a close for the Texans, he has recently posted a lot about the Texans and the Superbowl and statistics.
