The errors of definitions multiply themselves according as the reckoning proceeds; and lead men into absurdities, which at last they see but cannot avoid, without reckoning anew from the beginning.

The NPR Blog

There have been times when I wondered if Atlas Blogged was becoming the unofficial NPR Blog. I mean, consider the evidence.

I can't help it. I listen to NPR during my commute - not exclusively, but daily. They cover great topics, usually well. And they make their stories available on line for later listenings. That's a certain recipe for somebody like me to reference them frequently while blogging.

But now NPR has its own blog, called Mixed Signals. It is in my blogroll at left, much to Rammage's pain I am sure. But expect reference to Mixed Signals - for example, author JJ Sutherland's reaction to an article in the Toronto Star about whiny kids was essentially the same as mine, and it would have been useful to quote him if I hadn't felt like putting together a long post on the issue myself.

I worry about the comments section - what trolling will occur there? And I see some other aspects of the blog that I am not sure are as user friendly as they could be. But the content seems good, and I know I will be checking it out often. And Rammage, I have some posts percolating that take shots at NPR stories, so don't fear for my soul just yet.
