I recently opened one of my many email accounts. I use this particular to receive emailed articles from Business 2.0 and from Penelope Trunk. Penelope used to have a regular column on Business 2.0, but she quit a several months ago (family concerns, if I'm not mistaken). On her last issue, she said goodbye and asked interested readers to email her if they'd like to receive future articles from her. I emailed her a short message, saying I supporrted her decision and would appreciate being emailed her future articles. I was pleasantly surprised that she emailed a personal reply, thanking me for my email. Goes to show you that there are still some honest-to-goodness down-to-earth people out there aren't affected by their apparent fame. Hehehe.

Anyway, here are a few of the articles I read.

• An article from Business 2.0 analyzes the Blogging phenomenon from 2 points of view. It's an eye-opener for me to read that most bloggers are from the Right and that most detractors are from the Left. I like the article's parting words though. "Each blog is like a blinking neuron in the circuitry of an emerging, chatterbox superbrain. Resistance is futile. WE ARE THE BLOG. YOU WILL BE ASSIMILATED."


• Penelope Trunk offers practical advice on how to avoid email woes at the workplace in her article, Five E-mails You Should Never Send.


• Another artcicle from Business 2.0, Covering the Last Mile, Finally, tackles the advances in 802.11's offshoot technology, 802.16 or Wireless Metropolitan Area Network.


• A little Powerpoint-bashing in Unplug That Projector!


• Geoff Keighley takes a look at how profitable drudgereport.com is in The Secrets of Drudge Inc.
