War, War Movies...and War on Moveable Type?

For a moment there, it felt like I was back in college. Author Kurt Vonnegut made the No. 11 spot among "top links" for his "Cold Turkey" look at the future of his country...and he's clearly disturbed by what he sees.

And sure, the blogosphere continues to be filled with references to Seymour Hersh's latest article in the New Yorkerabout who bears responsibility for the abuses taking place in Iraqi prisons. Out of nowhere, too, popped the name of press aide Emily Nelson, who managed to re-focus a camera away from Secretary of State Colin Powell Sunday during a "Meet the Press" interview with Tim Russert. Like Vonnegut, Russert was not happy. Those hunky stars of the "Troy" movie -- Brad Pitt, Orlando Bloom and Eric Bana -- also made respectable showings as some of the most discussed people in the wake of the movie's weekend opening.

But bloggers like to discuss their craft, so it's no surprise that a surprise announcement of a price hike from Moveable Type, a popular blogging software program and service, generated a hefty amount of discussion as well. Many bloggers, in fact, are already considering alternatives.
