Every Friday I point you to some worthwhile reading around the blogosphere:
1. Here’s a hilarious spoof of the Ipad (and Apple more generally) from The Onion.
2. And while we’re on the subject of technology, The New Republic also has a very funny piece on how middle aged people are being ruined by new media.
3. If you’re a wordsmith, you’ll love this piece from The Nieman Journalism Lab about words New York Times readers find difficult.
4. You’ll also love this video of a real, live calligrapher in The Guardian.
5. This feature on Roger Ebert in Esquire is amazing, as is his response to it in The Sun Times. (Hat Tip: Lisa Romeo Writes.)
6. Finally, here’s a piece I did on the evolving diplomatic row between the UK and Israel over the Hamas Assassination in Dubai in PoliticsDaily.com.

Enjoy your weekend!

I guess I read online news articles too quickly because I never knew about that look-up function at NYtimes.com. Loved the article over at Neiman; thanks for the link.

Re PD piece on Israeli-Brit relations : Oh, oh…Always troublesome when allies, or at least favorably regarded folk, get caught with their intelligence (???) pants down. Thanks for keeping me up to speed on what is a very underplayed story in US press.
