Born in 1975, the product of two beautiful parents. Raised in West Baltimore—not quite The Wire, but sometimes ill all the same. Studied at the Mecca for some years in the mid-’90s. Emerged with a purpose, if not a degree. Slowly migrated up the East Coast with a baby and my beloved, until I reached the shores of Harlem. Wrote some stuff along the way.

Managing My Blogroll

By Ta-Nehisi Coates

And now for a post that has nothing to do with Obama. I'm gonna adjust my blogroll in the next couple days--mostly, I'm gonna add some folks (Balloon Juice, Kathy G, Amptoons, Jed Report...). FIrst, taking my que from Balloon Juice, I wonder if you guys have any reccommendations for blogs I should be reading, that I'm not. Also, what are the online ethics of pruning your blogroll? I mean, I read--and when lucky, write for--Slate, but they don't need any help from me. I'm more concerned about blogs that I don't read much anymore. Any thoughts?
