I don't think I've said enough about Milwaukee-based blogger Kerry Scott's "Clue Wagon." If I may paraphrase my mom on a different subject, Scott is old enough to know what needs to be said, and young enough to go ahead and say it. Unlike me, she doesn't cheap out with a quick reference to some other good site. You get a good read, good advice, an occasional ancestor profile, and a full dose of attitude. If you haven't read this recent selection of my favorites, you should:
"Why It Doesn't Matter Which Genealogy Software You Use" (7 February)
"Why The Facebook Cartoon Pictures Make Me Want To Poke My Eye Out with a Fork" (10 December)
"In Which I Pretty Much Piss Off the Entire Genealogy Establishment" (20 October)
"5 Reasons I Wish I Could Travel Back in Time and Smack My 1995-Self" (28 September)
I don't read anybody's blog faithfully any more, so I've probably missed some good ones. I will betray my age if I say that Scott has a bright future in print venues as well, but I certainly hope she does. If she doesn't, the days of print are numbered.

Holy cow...thank you! That might be my nicest mention ever.
Also, I called my husband and read this to him, and he laughed out loud at the "full dose of attitude" part.
