Before the dog eats it, Bill Callahan lists the blogs he reads every day.

During the meeting last night, we went around the room and everyone named at least two of the blogs they read the most. The original assignment was to post the ones you mentioned, but a variation of that was to post the blogs that you couldn’t go two days without reading.

So let the posting begin. If you were at last night’s meeting, please do so. I’d also invite those of you who couldn’t be there to do the same. And if you don’t have a blog, either comment on this one, or one of the other Northeast Ohio bloggers who post their list.

Thanks! This should be interesting.

UPDATE:

1. Read Jerry’s notes here

2. Jeff cops out pointing to his blogroll here.

12. LadyGoat couldn’t be at class, but she sent her homework in

13. Ken Duncan completes his homework here.

14. Akron blogger Pho adds his list here. He’s new to the network, so please stop by, welcome him, and encourage him to come to The August Cleveland Blogger Meetup.

15. John Ettorre, in a poor example to his teenage boys, reverts back the bad habits of his days in school, turning in his homework late. (He always tries to have the last word).

16. Jack Ricchiuto did his homework, but fails to mention that he browses Flickr because there’s no f-in’ words.

17. Will is cavalier about turning in his homework late.

From - ToledoBlade.com:

Another part of the oxygen-depletion problem has to do with excess algae along the lake floor. Algae feed on phosphorus and other nutrients that enter the lake through falling rain or the runoff from rivers or sewage overflows…

Thanks for all the feedback about BFD’s new theme.

My apologies to Internet Explorer users. As soon as I get a chance, I’ll look at the problems. All I can say is, it looks fine on my Mac using FireFox and Safari.

Mel at Please Choose Me writes about her pain and gain. She’s obvious been in Cleveland a while, she’s got the attitude:

I need to buck up and start from scratch.

I’m going to work on a business idea that has haunted me for years as I work on my job search.

And I’ll feel sorry for the company in upstate New York instead of myself. Because they made a very bad business decision by choosing to neglect the good of the enterprise in favor of sparing the ego of one individual. And I probably wouldn’t have gotten the support needed to drive change.

In retrospect I think I dodged a bullet.

Please stop by and say hello to her. I’m looking forward to seeing what she’s going to do, and how our Northeast Ohio Network can help her, and she us.

From Scott Suttle at Crain’s Cleveland Business:

Canadian news magazine Macleans sent writer Steve Maich to Cleveland to look at the controversy about Wal-Mart and the proposed Steelyard Commons development.

Well, sort of.

Mr. Maich is only nominally interested in Steelyard Commons or Cleveland. The headline and subhead give away the real agenda: �??Why Wal-Mart is good: We�??ve heard all the horror stories about the retail giant. They�??re just not true.�?�

He cites a 2002 study by Ryerson University on the company�??s impact on nearby small retailers that found �??the opening of a new (Wal-Mart) outlet is generally an economic boon for the whole area…

Scott comments “That�??s at odds with virtually everything I�??ve read about Wal-Mart, so I�??d need to know a lot more about the study than the story offers before I�??ll entirely buy Mr. Maich�??s premise.”

I’ve added my comments here

From the Online Recruitment Blog:

This past week a good friend of mine in the SEO space here in Cleveland, Ohio told me about hiring someone through LinkedIn. My friend isn’t a recruiter, although the current growth of his business has probably made him one by default.

While exploring the service, my friend discovered SEO professionals with the exact skill sets for which he was looking. These candidates were dispersed around the country, but relocation has become a way of life for companies in Cleveland on the grow…

Great story. Check it out.

Do you think local CEO’s are going to know what a mesh network is? From KurzweilAI.net:

Podcasts, RFID tags, and mesh networks are among the 10 new technologies that should be on the radar of every chief exec.

For example, IBM is developing AI-based software called the Uber-Personal Assistant (UPA). It will analyze your schedule, e-mails, and the text you’re typing to figure out exactly what you’re working on. Then, it will alert you to new e-mails pertinent to that project.
