Jon Stewart of The Daily Show covers blogs and how they are smoking out the bandits of the media in "Blog Cabin Republican". This is funny on so many levels.

Jon Stewart: Analysts revealed how CNN broke the breaking of the story.

CNN: Well, we found it... actually one of the bloggers found it. We found it through a blog...

Stewart: That's the The Washington Post, their new motto... you heard it here, twelfth.

Stephen Cobart: Where I draw the line is with these attack bloggers... just someone with a computer who gathers, collates, and publishes accurate information that is then read by the general public. They have no credibility. All they have is facts.

Stewart: The medium of the internet may be new, but what bloggers do in many respects is what journalists do.

Cobart: What journalists do? As a journalist I think I know what I do... I'm not sitting at home in front of my computer, I'm out there busting my hump everyday at the Whitehouse.... transcribing their press releases... repeating their talking points.... that's how you earn your nickname from President Bush...

Stewart: As long as these bloggers check their facts, why would you object to this type of political reporting?

Cobart: This isn't political reporting Jon... their reporting on the reporters.

Today is the 3 year anniversary of my English blog. In three years I have been able to post 668 entries. Thats a little more than 1/2 an entry every day. In other words, all in all it hasn't been the most active blog in the blogsphere.

But it still has been able to function in many ways. Both as a voice in the Flash community while I was working in that field, as a voice for my own very strong opinions in politics as well as place for me to just rant and rave.

There has been active months with many entries (I am too lazy to sit down and make statistics, sorry) - and there have been slow months, but I have been posting every month since I started 3 years ago.

At the moment this blog has slowed down a bit, although I have been posting more frequently lately. What the future will bring for this blog is hard to say. At the moment its shifting towards more focus on gadgets and internet technology. But I am also brewing the urge to write about other topics that it close to my heart - such as marketing. (Not the old kind, the new - that involves conversations and keeping it real).

If you are just joining or have joined in on the way, feel free to check out the archives. There might be some gems there ;)
