Good Advice, Received Too Late.
Heather Armstrong of "dooced" fame, #9 on the Technorati "top 100" list, knows whereof she speaks:
Apart from what you've already talked about with regard to writing, design, and setting boundaries, is there any advice you would give to a new blogger?
My only other piece of advice for a new blogger would be for her to ask herself, who is the one person you would not want to read what you have just written? And now imagine that person finding your website and reading it because it will happen. Are you comfortable with that? If so, carry on. If not, maybe you should consider keeping a private journal. If that person doesn't exist, well then aren't you lucky.
Although I think it's hard for anyone to predict just how it feels until it actually happens. (Read the whole interview here.)

More than Just Abortion and Gay Marriage. The social issues that divide us today may not be the most important ones to face the next Supreme Court justice, says legal journalist Jeffrey Rosen. He believes questions arising from advances in technology like data mining, surveillance, and genetic screening will be the new frontier in jurisprudence. [WNYC New York Public Radio]
