Few will have the greatness to bend history itself; but each of us can work to change a small portion of events, and in the total of all those acts will be written the history of this generation.
Robert F. Kennedy

History with its flickering lamp stumbles along the trail of the past, trying to reconstruct its scenes, to revive its echoes, and kindle with pale gleams the passion of former days.
Winston Churchill

You can check out some Idaho Blogs in this article from the Idaho Statesman. Of course they did not include a good history blog or even a reference to moi...but I will excuse them for being asleep at the switch and give the IS a little free publicity anyway.

Most of these blogs are from insiders at the IS but a few others are included too. However, in addition to those listed in the article, there are many excellent Idaho blogs on all subjects and of all political leanings. If you are here then you already know where to find me but tell a friend.

Keep in mind that Wikipedia entries can be written and/or revised by anyone. Accuracy and neutrality through self-monitoring by the users in the goal. Wikipedia does a decent job of keeping an eye on sites and removing some that are obviously inaccurate. They will also enter a notation at the top of entires that appear lacking in neutrality, facts and/or appropriate referencing. I have not really got into it yet but is a good chance to do a little writing and documenting if you do so in the spirit of accuracy rather then for expressing opinion. The good thing is that there is no limit on the number of topics, people, sites, etc that can be entered and written about as long as they have some historical or contemporary significance. I will get busy with it one of these day. A good way to start is go to the Idaho Historic Places list. Most of the sites have little or no corresponding information or link. If you see one you know something about, click on it and add some information. Have at it!

From NPR:

Morning Edition, May 22, 2008 - Musicians from the pop and classical music worlds always seem to be collaborating. The results — sometimes called "crossover" — can often be a mishmash of music that doesn't quite sound like classical or pop.

Hilary Hahn and Josh Ritter are unlikely collaborators who are crossing into each other's territory in different ways. Hahn is a top classical violinist. Ritter is a folk-rocker. The two shared a stage at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art recently: She played classical pieces for solo violin, and he sang songs from his albums.
