Blogs to check out

The blogosphere expands and changes so rapidly that when I quit websurfing for a few weeks I feel out of touch. Lots of good stuff out there, and more every day. People interested in the criminal justice topics discussed on Grits might also want to check out these sites I've been meaning to plug:

• Wretched of the Earth (a public defender in Dallas, back from hiatus)

• Underdog Blog

• Defending Those People

• Judging Crimes

Plus, congrats to the Wandering Scribe on her book deal. She started blogging while homeless living in her car in the U.K., and has developed a big enough online following to attract a publisher. What a great blogging story.
