This morning Rosenblog reached a modest milestone, but one I'm proud of, and which could not have occured without you, dear participants. (I use that word intentionally, as opposed to "readers").

We passed 400 comments (at 402 now as I write). Given that I started this blog in late January, it's been operating essentially for three months. So I guess that comes out to about 133 comments per month. Not earth-shaking by any means. Many uber-bloggers and others get that many in a day or two, or a week. Some single posts on certain blogs get more.

But it's a start. As you can tell, comments are part of what keeps me going here, so keep 'em coming, and never fear to disagree.

I'd also like to salute all the Seattle bloggers, and others around the country (and even world) who have linked to, and/or cited Rosenblog items. One of my hopes is to see the Puget Sound, Washington and Northwest blogging communities continue to grow and prosper.

SATURDAY BLOG ROUND-UP

Young Seattle blogger Greg Piper is a thoughtful, interesting writer, and pretty damn funny sometimes, too. Here's a neat item about our cultural obsession with thinness. Cool hed, Greg, even if it took me a minute to get it.

Stefan Sharkansky has an excellent post about the Italian peace march demanded by hostage takers.

Via stellar education blogger Joanne Jacobs comes this great essay from the blog of the U.K.-based Adam Smith Institute. Dr. Madsen Pirie demolishes the argument (also common here in Seattle) that the that parents of bright students should put them in schools with low-performing students, to engineer higher performance by the laggards. (It doesn't work). This type of thinking examplifies what we call "diversity" here in Seattle, but because intellectual diversity is discouraged, it's difficult to discuss.

Dadblogger links to a Foreign Affairs piece on "how terrorists might undertake a nuclear attack." (It's the second item down, see the other links, too).

Check out Slant Point, a blog by a hip NYC conservative named Scott. Lots of interesting posts, and a blogroll well worth exploring. Also, Suburban Blight, a classy, funky blog from Kelley in Atlanta.

Green Girl (at What Kind of Sick Weirdo Are You?) reports on the eventual debunking of a story about women organizing to give U.S. soldiers a real send-off.
