Blawg Review #200
Could this be the end of the line?
When we started Blawg Review with the question, "Do you blawg?" in 2005, who would have thought this traveling carnival of law blogs would still be alive 200 weeks later?
This week, Darren Rowse at Problogger had an interesting post that got us thinking.
How will Blawg Review be remembered?
Blawg Review was the blog carnival for everyone interested in law. A peer-reviewed blog carnival, the host of each Blawg Review decided which of the submissions and recommended posts were suitable for inclusion in the presentation. And the host was encouraged to source another dozen or so interesting posts to fit with any special theme of that issue of Blawg Review. The host's personal selections usually included several that reflected the character and subject interests of the host blawg, recognizing that the regular readership of the blog should find some of the usual content, and new readers of the blog via Blawg Review ought to get some sense of the unique perspective and subject specialties of the host. Thanks to all the law bloggers who collaborated to make Blawg Review one of the very best blog carnivals of any genre.Not to worry; we've come to praise Blawg Review, not to bury it. This moot funeral is not a morbid affair, but a celebration of everything good about Blawg Review. Not exactly the Irish wake that Eoin O'Dell and Daithí Mac Síthigh might have expected. More like a jazz funeral that Ernie Svenson, Ray Ward, and David Harlow would appreciate. But with an Anglo-American musical theme that Evan Schaeffer, Dan Hull, Mistress Ruthie, Charon QC, and Geeklawyer will really digg.
The Traveling Wilburys, an inspired group of American and British superstars, provide the accompaniment for this 200th Blawg Review.
The True History of the Traveling Wilburys is a documentary film about how this supergroup consisting of George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty and Bob Dylan came together in California in 1988, a magical happenstance if ever there was one, and laid down tracks that, in the collaboration, was greater than the sum of its parts.
