<description><![CDATA[ (Jul 2, 2008) For hardcore baseball fans, life has never been better.  Gone are the days of waiting for the morning paper for yesterday’s box score.  You can follow games in real time online.  And baseball bloggers cover the minute details of every team.  More than two dozen bloggers follow the New York Yankees, but one has separated himself from the pack.  A beat writer for a Westchester County newspaper has such loyal readers on his blog that they got together in real life to watch a baseball game…a minor league game at that.  David Sommerstein, a Yankees fan and blog reader himself, met up with the group.

<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/10894/20080225/blogger-searches-for-the-7-wonders-of-the-adirondacks</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Feb 25, 2008) If you were asked to name your picks for the Seven Wonders of the Adirondack-North Country, what would they be?  That&apos;s the question that John Warren, from the town of Chester put on his popular regional blog, called Adirondack Almanack.  Warren allowed his listeners to cheat a little bit, dividing the list into two categories.  Natural wonders like the Ausable Chasm and OK Slip Falls made the grade.  So did man-made marvels like Santa&apos;s Workshop and the Keeseville Stone Arch Bridge.  John Warren talked about his project with Brian Mann.
