<![CDATA[Evelyn to visit Tsunami site (Dave and Buzz visit New Orleans)]]>For those of you who don’t read Evelyn Rodriguez on a regular basis you might not realize she was caught in the Tsunami last year and you might also not realize she’s one of the best writers on the blogosphere. Anyway, today she wrote about Peter Drucker (the management guru who died recently) and also the Emergency Syndication panel at Syndicate.

You won’t find this stuff in Memeorandum, but she’s worth reading.

+++++++++++++

On the disaster topic, I’ve been following several friends as they visit New Orleans. Buzz Bruggeman visited Ernie the Attorney a few days ago. Ernie’s post is just stunning. It’s among the most gripping writing I’ve read this year.

Dave Winer just arrived in New Orleans and is doing his unique brand of podcasting and reporting. I’m sitting here in building 18 of Microsoft’s headquarters listening to his interview with Janet, a woman who lost her house. Ernie the Attorney lives in New Orleans and is doing wonderful journalism about what it’s like there. I remember spending the day with Ernie in happier times. We saw a concert and he showed me around town.

All of this stuff is magazine quality. Just stunning the imagery and misery that drips through these ASCII characters. Can we have a conversation on blogs? I don’t know, but these made me cry. So there.

Over on MSNBC they put up this picture story where you can see some before and after pictures shot by John Wilkerson. The changes are stunning.

Who is doing the best Web-based journalism after Katrina? Or the Tsunami?
