New blogs about the supreme court nomination

Alea iacta est. Bush made his choice to nominate John Roberts as the new member of the Supreme Court. There are great new blogs exclusivly dedicated to this important topic, such as the The Supreme Court Nomination Blog. But also the site Nomination Nation has great insights about Roberts and otherr judicial appointments. I wish blogs like this would exist in Europe. Plus: Technorati keeps track of the opinions of the blogosphere with a special supreme court tag (with currently over 800 posts).

I know the news is a couple of days old, but I still would like to mention it. Beginning September 6, PBS will make available - exclusively over the Internet - broadcast television's first entirely downloadable series, featuring PBS technology columnist and industry insider Robert X. Cringely's interviews with personalities from the ever-changing world of technology. NerdTV will be available for download from here.
Plus: Chris Anderson praises Chringley a 'longtailer'.

Napa traffic

A new study claims carloads of wine-seeking tourists have made Napa Valley the eighth most congested rural vacation spot in the country. The report, financed in part by the American Automobile Association - with nearly 2.1 million summer trips on the mostly two-lane stretch of Highway 29 between Napa and St. Helena -now shares space on the same top 10 list of car-clogged getaways as Cape Cod and the country music halls of Branson, Mo.
Wow! Now I have to think twice before I travel to one of my most favorite get-aways...

Shutters on the Beach

What can i say. I think "Shutters on the Beach" in Santa Monica is one of the most beautiful hotels in California. I can't afford a room there, but I enjoyed the cozy lobby, the great restaurant with the great view to the pacific several times.

Web editors

A great, extended list with wed editors (the programs, not the people).
