Git yer Oklahoma Netroots bookmark, blogroll and widget code here

This will be a temporary measure, as I hope to put something more customized together that can be collectively managed. But for now, I have used Google Reader to collect all the Oklahoma Netroots blogs I have found, and, made the list public, so anyone who wants to can enjoy.
If you’re just a reader or [...]

I’m creating the Peace Arena Activist Blog Awards

I’ve decided to bestow some blog awards to celebrate my upcoming 5-year blogging anniversary, which corresponds with Thanksgiving weekend. Since there isn’t a lot of time to prepare for this year’s awards, it will be a simple, rushed affair. So fitting!
But I’m serious about honoring the recipients, who toil in near obscurity day after [...]

Margaret and Helen

I don’t know if this blog is really written by an 82 year old woman living in Texas writing to her friend in Maine, who had to have her blog thingy set up by her grandson so they could talk to each other about politics and life in America, but DAMN, it’s funny and brilliant.
These [...]

Important new Oklahoma blog: Concrete Buffalo

John Sutter isn’t letting his recent firing by the Oklahoman keep him down. He’s started a new blog to help educate Oklahomans about their state’s ecology, and the state government’s impact on it.
Just a couple of days before his last day with OPubCo, I did a little review of his blog for the paper, Going [...]

Go Green, Oklahoma

Well, we can hope, anyway.
One of the blogs on the Oklahoman’s web site is “Go Green” and actually, despite my considerable reservations about it going in, it’s good. The worst thing I can say about it is that there’s not enough promotion of it in the company’s more visible operations, the dead-tree newspaper and [...]

2007 Okie Blog Awards announced

And the winners are …
Congratulations to all, and a big collegial hug to Mike at Okiedoke who does such a great job with the awards each year, in addition to his own great blog.
I have to admit I haven’t read most of the winning blogs, which I plan to remedy soon. I have set a [...]

Van Taylor piles on

Van Taylor wants you to know
Van is mad at Murtha for something he didn’t actually say. The Miami Sun-Sentinel misquoted him and no one checked the quote (sounds like bloggers have taken over, doesn’t it?) before running with it.
Van Taylor, the Republican candidate for the District 17 House seet, and the only R candidate who [...]

Okie blog awards

Mike at Okiedoke is a great promoter of Oklahoma and bloggery — he’s even organizing the 2006 Oklahoma Blogger convention — so who better to institute the Okie Blogger Awards? Good thing he’s taken his own out of contention, or the rest of us wouldn’t have much of a chance.
I don’t do nearly enough browsing [...]
