Blog-ability

Kareem Abdul Jabbar has a blog on the Los Angeles Times website. Now, normally, there'd be no reason to direct folks to another blog site, but his eclectic topics are great sources of unusual information, ideas, and little-known biographies. Focusing on African-American personalities (the first female black lawyer in the US, jazz great Herbie Hancock, first female airline pilot, for example), health tips for those over 50, and commentary from an insider perspective on the latest sports news and scandals, it's a treasure trove of things that are interesting -- and inspiring -- to know and think about.
