Shanks Blog:
Having never really read over a blog of any sort, (other then our classes of course) I wasn't sure what to expect. I really liked the layout that Shanks uses, blogs are an interesting way to provide information via text but make it incredibly easy to throw in links, photos, other topics and useful information all into one space. Sometimes it reads like a picture book with hotlinks in it. The blog I read by Shanks was FARO - heritage futures. I felt like this was a mostly academic blog, he makes a distinction in his blog stating "My long-standing argument that archaeology is as much about the future as the past." He then continues to dissect the details of the Faro Convention into highlights as he see's them. The way he lays out the highlights of this document lead me to believe that Shanks is using his blog for a more academic based viewpoint then just blogging about daily stuff.
I also read some blogs from Dooce.com and found that this really isn't the thing for me. I'm glad that this family does well for itself writing daily blogs, taking pictures, and maintaining a website but its just not for me, besides, this shit i do, think, and say on a typical day is much more interesting then most of the stuff I spent the last 20 minutes reading. Must be a family person thing or something.
DONE
