Mid-July madness

When it's time to sum up blackospheric trends, I'm finding that it's not an easy thing. I find myself tempted to try to extrapolate trends from seeing posts on similar topics, like Urban Sista's Adventures' "More women delaying motherhood until 30s" and Gina's RantSpot's "The Sh*tty Dating Scene in Chicago." Or I'll read about places where things are jumping off over the weekend, like Charlotte, North Carolina, in posts like Rod 2.0:beta's "Pride in the Carolinas" or Prime Time's "NC LGB Pride '05" and "National Black Arts Festival July 15 - July 24." People have found a way to weigh in on various subjects this week, including the CIA leaks, the fallout from the London bombings, President Bush's trip to the Black Expo in Indianapolis, Indiana, and, well ... the list goes on.

I'd like to send a special shoutout to writer extraordinaire Bomani Jones, who marks his first blogiversary. Bomani, it only gets more fun from here on out!

Have a great weekend!
