Most people in the blog world I inhabit have read this post by Chris Clarke. It's one of the most moving pieces I've read in a long time. Today I went to The Guardian's webpage, and there's the name "Chris Clarke" on their sidebar "Today's Picks." Neat, I thought—someone else spells their name like Chris. But it was his piece, reprinted for millions of Guardian readers.
Way cool.
So get over there and read it, if you haven't already. You won't be sorry.
