If this actually takes hold, Gawker media might have to shut down, along with half the blogs in New York, LA and silicon valley. Which is to say, I'm all for it. Curiously timed around the release of NonSociety (couldn't resist).

One of my favorite people on earth started a food blog

Dawn (and friends) are writing about cooking and eating, mostly focused on local choices in Syracuse, NY. But her post on eating in Seattle is excellent and her writing is great. Dawn is a great cook, I can't wait for the recipes.
