Other blogs to blog about

Okay! The website that Andrew gave his really hit me for Assignment II! I'm thinking, is this what blogging should be about or should I ask, if this is what we should call, "academic inquiry"??

I mean, there's definitely visual in this blogger's writings (dooce), yet there's somewhat a sense of connection that I made with her daily life. Her questions makes me wonder and somehow, some of the things that she say can relate to what I would also say. She also include examples to assure her readers what she really means when she say something in particular. It sort of makes me think why I understand her so much. Is it because she is a female, or is it because I live under a roof where I must meet specific standards as a Asian girl (meaning, housewife, although I'm not one).

But I must say that her bloggings compare to Shanks are very similar in the cases of trying to make the reader know and understand what the author is doing. Yet, they are different, not just because they have different stories to share, but that I feel closer to the housewife blogs then Shanks. Maybe it's because of her visual writings, but I do see a little bit of academic inquiry when it comes to asking questions or relating her knowledge to something else in order for her readers to understand. But then again, I'm still confuse about "academic inquiry." I'm not quite sure exactly what it is because to me, I feel like no one has answer the question of what it really is.
