Blogs and Street Food
In The New Yorker, Orhan Pamuk writes:
The best thing about Istanbul street food now is not that each purveyor is different from all the others, offering his own specialties; it is that these different street venders sell only the things that they themselves know and love.
This is what I was saying about blogs: They are so well-written, so easy to read, because bloggers only write about what they care about.

Seth,
Does this contradict your statement, several years ago, that you really enjoyed reading Entertainment Weekly because it was so well-written?

Now that i read more blogs you’re right, my standards for what is good writing have gone up: I am harder to please. (Sort of like a sweet tooth.) So EW would move down a notch in relative terms. But I still read it and enjoy it. Tyler Cowen — speaking of blogs — is also an EW fan.
