Reynolds runs the Weblog InstaPundit.com, which is becoming a must-see for better known opinion-makers trying to stay informed on current events.

For the zillions unfamiliar with the concept of a Weblog -- commonly called a blog -- it's a personal Web site where anybody with the energy and/or ego can comment on anything, anytime, anywhere.

Reynolds, a congenial and entertaining fellow, does have opinions on a wide range of subjects, which he posts with almost fanatic regularity on InstaPundit. Equally, if not more important, he gobbles up other info on the Internet and provides Web addresses -- links -- enabling readers to click onto sites Reynolds has located for them.

A University of Tennessee undergrad with a Yale law degree, Reynolds insists in a phone interview, that, contrary to appearances, he has a life -- with a wife, a forensic psychologist specializing in murder, and a 7-year-old daughter"We're a household of media geeks here," he concedes.

He also teaches, has written three books, produces regular columns for the Fox News Web site and techcentralstation.com, gets $1 apiece from T-shirts he sells on his Web site, produces techno music under the name Mobius Dick -- and does go on vacation....

For his part, Reynolds explains his success this way: "People are hard-wired to gossip and what's going on the world, and I think blogs are a reflection of that. They're most like 18th Century coffee houses where people got together to talk about the latest news."

..."I get more attention than I deserve. Some bloggers deserve more than they get. I'm happy to have it. Nobody becomes a law professor without a big ego. But, I encourage you to scroll down on my Web site and look at some of the other Weblogs."

There's more. It's great to see blogs getting attention in print from mainstream media and mainstream pundits.
