Updated List of Penn Blogs

Last year, Kevin Burke put together a list of blogs by Penn students/faculty/staff/alums/etc. It was a great resource, but it's about due for an update.

This list isn't in any order whatsover, but I will try and divide it up between active and inactive ones.

    Active

  • Martin Gordon's Blog - Kevin had him pegged as a senior from Miami Beach last year, so I guess he's an alum now?
  • 3000 Miles of Virtual Insanity - Ravi Mishra's blog about being between Silicon Valley and Penn.
  • Progressive Dispatches - a blog by student government member Brett Thalmann about politics mostly.
  • The Un-Wharton - Stuart Stein, a Wharton senior studying marketing and management blogs here
