The Rodneys: Best Blog by a PD that has nothing to do with the job
While there is a long list of pd blogs in the blog guide, there is an equally long list of blogs authored by pds that do not deal with their job. Despite that, since the authors are fellow public defenders, we here at PD Stuff feel that they too deserve some recognition. So here are some of the nominees for Best Blog by a PD that has nothing to do with the job:
- The Rural Bus Route is written by Jay, a public defender in Dickinson, North Dakota. The blog features a lot of photographs and the first post was February 15, 2006.
- Seth Abramson publishes The Suburban Ecstacies. Seth describes himself as “A fourth-year attorney with the New Hampshire Public Defender, one-time political analyst for Air America Radio, and the co-founder/poetry editor of The New Hampshire Review.” A lot of the posts are about poetry and music, with doses of law and politics thrown in on occasion, and all of the links on the sidebar are poets, books and music. Seth’s first post was May 20, 2005 and is called A Brief History of the Ecstatic.
- Swan Lake Samba Girl is written by Tonya Plank, an appellate PD in New York City. Tonya has a lot of information about herself in “My Biography” and even has an excerpt from her novel Swallow. She rifts on a variety of cultural and other issues and occasionally writes about the job, but describes the blog as “Tonya’s dance blog.”
- Dream Antilles is the blog of part-time public defender David Seth Michaels. The title of the blog is also the title of his book by the same name, which he describes as a “magical, utopian novel.”
