Some new favorites

Some minor updates and goings on:

The company I was working for almost closed up shop. But as quickly as I was unemployed, I am once employed again (and it looks like I’ll be working in DC).

One of my new favorite sites is the Coming Anarchy, named after a Robert Kaplan book about democracy in the 21st century, spefically with the power vacuum created after the fall of communism (one of the essay’s, “Is Democracy Just a Moment”, is my favorite and also highly controversial). Anyway, they touch on NUMEROUS subjects, and give a lot of time to regions that you don’t hear a lot about (the Stans and Eastern Europe).

I think one of the problems with the “blog world” is that there are far too many. And at times, I have a really difficult time discerning whats worth exploring and what isn’t. And I only stumbled on ‘Coming Anarchy’ after doing a Google search for the term. Otherwise I’d still be ignorant. I guess a lot of the blog world is just cluttered, and I’m doing my part!
