FOOD BUZZ: While you might have seen the artsy, one-off food blog at Scanwiches and thought to yourself, “hey, what a great idea,” it's apparently just a copy cat! The scanned-sandwich site Scanwich.com , (slogan: where glass and meat meet), has been operating since 2007 and lays claim to the original idea. Blog feud?

TECH BUZZ: Editors at Wired are removing the curtains, so to speak, on the whole process of creating a feature article, in a new blog called Storyboard . It’s a profile of a profile. The article in the spotlight, a profile of Charlie Kaufman, takes curious readers through the idea, the pitch, the back-and-forth emails, negotiating talent access, and the shaping of the story. It’s a very candid way to use the web to expose the journalistic process, and a cool risk worth taking by Wired.

CULTURE BUZZ: Fascinating daily blog by a nameless inmate currently serving a life sentence in the Texas Penitentiary. He updates the blog daily with the help of a friend on the outside. The way it works is he hand writes and mails 5 posts once a week to a friend outside of the jail. His friend then types out a post for each day that week. You can post comments or e-mail the blog and the friend will mail all of them back to the inmate who can then respond to you through the blog.
