Linkpost and bison photo (08/16/09)

Whoops, I haven't updated here in a while -- busy with the Houston blog, friends, grilling, gym, blah blah blah....

Here's a picture of a bison herd crossing the road at the Nature Conservancy Tallgrass Prairie Preserve in Osage County (OK) earlier today. Pretty cool stuff:


Buffalo crossing

And here are some links on journalism and theft (or not, depending on your perspective I guess):

Most of us who have been blogging for a while have surely blockquoted too many grafs and given too little attribution with a fair number of news stories. Indeed, the Gawker example isn't even particularly bad compared to the 10-11 graf rips with perhaps a sentence of original commentary that aren't unusual these days.

I'm trying to be much better about less blockquoting and more attribution on non-linkposts. The people/institutions who actually do news coverage deserve that much (even if they are lax in saying as much most of the time). As far as schemes to try to ban scraping and linking and aggregation.... that seems ilke an overreaction.

I really should clear out the links a little more often, eh?

Time to dump some links and get back into the game here, so to speak.
