Local Blog Roundup: Welcome to the blogosphere

Hello, Houston! This week we saw two very exciting, and very different, local blogs hit the ground running. The first is the Woodside Village Blog, the aim of which is to discuss the goings-on in Woodside Village, which includes several southwest Houston neighborhoods. Read the introductory post to learn more. We find ourselves wondering why this blog isn't called Woodside Village-ist (WVist?), but it's interesting, especially if you're familiar with the area. The other new blog is an extension of the ever-sarcastic Laurence Simon's enterprise, and it's called Fire Phil Garner. And has there ever been a better time to be snarky about the Astros? Regular features already include a "Least Valuable Player" award after each game, but our favorite part is the "IM IN UR DUGOUT LOSIN UR GAMEZ" subtitle.

>> Times, they are a-changin'. Over at Greg's Opinion, he notes the new political climate in Harris County with some interesting statistics.

>> He must be good at the Jumble. Intermodality pokes good-natured fun at the anti-rail crowd.

>> Surely you can't be serious. Publius TX blogs about a particularly ridiculous incident at Bush Intercontinental Airport.

>> Radio Ga Ga. The mikemcguff blog brings your attention to the radio ratings in Houston, the sixth largest radio market.

If you have a favorite local blog or a particular post that catches your eye, send it to us!
