'Roll Call III

Blog: Campus Press Notes
Blogger: Gin
Location: Boston
Have I Met Him? No
Why He’s On the ‘Roll: A valuable roundup of media and political battles taking place on college campuses nationwide, which always make me get down on my knees and thank God I’m not in college anymore.
Best. Post. Ever.: The coverage of last October’s Brandeis brouhaha is a typically astute example- and unlike most bloggers, Gin did actual reporting. Novel, I know.

Blog: Caren
Blogger: Caren Lissner
Location: New Jersey
Have I Met Her? Yes
Why She’s On the ‘Roll: Caren, an addition to being (at quite a young age) a successful author and editor of a chain of above-average community newspapers, is the only person on the blogroll who has ever interviewed me for a job. Though if Jeff Jarvis or Mark Cuban would like to, I’m all ears.
Best. Post. Ever.: An anti-“Bowling For Columbine” post, beating the Blogosphere's Moore-bashing trend by four months.

Blog: The Corsair
Blogger: Ron Mwangaguhunga
Location: Brooklyn
Have I Met Him? No
Why He’s On the ‘Roll: Because he’s just full of fascinating contradictions- Ron is perhaps the only writer whose work has appeared on both “Best Week Ever Blog” and “National Review Online.” Not only that, but he has room on his “favorite movies” list for both “Last Year at Marienbad” and “Meatballs.” And there are almost five letters in his last name for each in his first name, a feat topped only by former Michigan football coach Bo Schembechler.
Best. Post. Ever.: A look at which media personalities would be “left behind” if the apocalypse happened tomorrow.

Blog: Cup O’ Goodness
Blogger: Erik J
Location: Washington (State)/Washington State
Have I Met Him? No
Why He’s On the ‘Roll: Another laugh-out-loud funny humor blog that always makes outrageously funny use of Photoshop. Such as…
Best. Post. Ever.: This series of “vacation photos” of Erik at Mariners spring training, in which he’s Photoshopped himself onto the field. (Scroll down).
