These are a few sites I thought were interesting from October 29th through October 30th:

• Wired.com Product Reviews – Get in-depth tech news coverage from Wired and read about how it is shaping culture, education, entertainment, communications and technology.
• BBC NEWS | Science & Environment | Banjo used in brain surgery – best headline I’ve seen this week
• Jacksonville Journal – Sense of Unease in Some Black Voters – NYTimes.com – Scary fact: In 2000, *forty percent* of the votes in the Jacksonville Florida area were not counted
• PC World – Christian Science Monitor Goes Online-Only – First major daily newspaper to do so, if I’m not mistaken. let’s hope they can keep the quality of their journalism — which is very good — up.
• Reporters Getting Burned Out With New Technology, Journalists Tell National Press Club Forum – Are we asking too much of reporters by demanding they blog, twitter, GPS, Flickr *and* write the news?
