There’s a new multi-city-centric weblog site called MetroBlogging, but so far I’m less than impressed (when I first saw the link, I thought it had something to do with straight men who exfoliate).

There’s already some pretty great NYC weblogs out there; and NYC is far too big a town to ably cover generically anyway (thus the rise of great NYC topic blogs).

The MetroBlogging site invites 20 or so bloggers to cover each city, but doesn’t yet seem to have any way to filter by subject or author. A more useful (to me, anyway) solution for city-centric blogging was the much-missed Localfeeds.com, which automatically generated city pages using RSS and GeoURL tags. Or my own Queerfilter.com, which collects RSS excerpts and lets readers filter the posts by different parameters (state, country, language, gender, sexual orientation).

I was stuck on the 4 train for half an hour between 14th St and Brooklyn Bridge yesterday — turns out there was another subway shooting (just what my mom needs to hear after her visit to NYC this past weekend). But riding the subway is still safer than driving a car. I ride the train pretty late sometimes and I’ve never felt afraid since I moved here.

I’m having internet connectivity problems (hence no posts for the past week), so this will have to be brief.

Went to the pride parade, saw some famous people, got recognized by a guy marching in the parade who reads Jeff’s and my blogs (too cool), got a sunburn, fell asleep at 7pm. Here is Jeff’s account.
