Vermont Blog Roundup

Links to items of interest on Vermont blogs this week:

• Curious about iPhone usage in Vermont? Doug Cadmus of Bloggle offers a comprehensive, link-filled blog post addressing the matter. I still haven't seen one of the suckers. This image shows a knitted iPhone from this guy's blog.

• Rebecca Grannis and Chapin Spencer of Local Motion have set up a survey kiosk on the Burlington bike path. They pose questions and invite people who pass by to write down answers and put them in a box. Every so often, they post the answers on the Burlington Bike Path Speak blog. This month's question: "What is your most embarrassing moment?"

They posted a few answers earlier this month, and I've been checking frequently to see the rest. They must have put them up in the last few days. Here they are. My favorites:

--I crashed into the bagel store in Shelburne two years ago!

--Tired from shopping I walked into a 3-way mirror and said "Oh, excuse me, I'm sorry" to myself!

--When I was four, I passed gas on an airplane and said "I have gas" - A. from S. Burlington

• Who's blogging about social media (Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, etc.) in Vermont? Dan York, Elaine Young, Meredith Farkas, Jessamyn West, Morgan Aldridge... If I were to compile a comprehensive list, who would I include? I'm looking for people who write often about social media tools. Feel free to suggest sites you like.

• Catblogging — Is this person for real? I just don't understand how someone could be that into a cat. Sorry, cat people.

• Speaking of furry animals, Don't kill the hampster! [sic] Very funny. From My Innermost Thoughts Gone Public. 

• Happy Birthday S.R. Wild!

• The Champlain College Library's website has been named College Library Website of the Month, according to The Sheck Spot.

• Undead Molly and the Mystery Vanity Plate. What the heck does it mean?

• You Just Paid 80K to Teach George W. Bush A Good Lesson About Respecting Our Inalienable Right to Wear Blunt T-Shirts from — who else? — Philip Baruth.
