Subtitled "History, analysis, and unabashed gossip about the start of the American Revolution in Massachusetts" Bell present delightful vignettes of early American history and the web--from Jeduthan Baldwin loses his clothes and his temper to Christopher Seider: shooting victim and Paying attention to black Loyalists. (He even once took note of a project of mine.)

The Boston Blog looks nice, jeez there's so much stuff to read on the front page the last couple days I'm way behind.

Kinda sorta a derail: LarryC, I really like your project, if I'd known about that I would've posted it to the front page. (maybe not too late?) That is a fascinating case, I studied it in a Colonial History class.
