So, I'd looked at The Passive Voice blog before and not gotten it--the fellow's a lawyer, so you wind up with articles on some pretty random things (like right now the top story is on voice-recognition software). He also posts a lot of news stories and things from other blogs, and I was like, what's the point of another aggregate blog?
But I've read through more of it now, and I do recommend it. It's a good aggregate blog, for one thing, and for another, his remarks on the material he posts are often interesting and insightful. For example, he notes that authors are paying $308 million to traditional publishers to have them format and upload e-books, and he offers to do that for half the price. If they take him up on it, he doesn't just promise them a really big box of candy with a bright red bow--in the comments he promises a pony!
I'm reading more of this blog today while the baby naps, and I have to say, one major benefit of it is that it condenses Dean Wesley Smith's blog posts. Smith is incredibly knowledgeable, but I would not be surprised to discover that his longest blog post has a bigger word count than his shortest novel....
