Yay, Austin is #16! :) I guess all the liberals can read but all the conservatives in Houston can't ;) I was born and raised in Houston though, so I can see why it'd be so low on the list.
Well I'm from Minnesota where Minneapolis is #2 and St. Paul (my home town) is #9! Minnesota was the only state to carry Carter against Reagan and to elect and re-elect Paul Wellstone. I guess liberals in the rarefied North can read better than the liberals surrounded by all the conservatives in Texas and the South. ;-} Hurrah for Austin! Keep it weird!
Great blog, by the way. I've added Inside the Mind of a Nerd to my blogroll.
My blog is actually already on your blogroll, it's how I found you ;) Now it's on there twice =P
