Marc Canter wonders
What is the proper etiquette for blogging about your wife being blogged?
I notice that Anil never blogs about his fiance. But Ted does all the time.
I'm not sure if there is an etiquette for blogging that your spouse was blogged. I occasionally blog about things that are happening in our family, and you would expect to see Julie pop up in a posting like that. Some people's blogs' are strictly business, so you don't see much about family or friends there.
Beyond that, Julie has a blog of her own and writes posts that I want to comment on, or engages in conversations that I want to participate in. In that sense, I treat her like "any other" blogger who is generating posts with those characteristics. The fact that we are married means that there's a higher likelihood that she writes something which passes through the "I want to post about that" filter. If Julie wasn't such a prolific blogger, then you'd probably see a lot fewer posts.
Well Duh! In Marc's Voice: My wife got blogged he asks (one really hopes not seriously)What is the proper etiquette for blogging about your wife being blogged?

metaword..this is an old thread but thought you may want to see latest from apple insider- i don't purposely go there honest!
he speed of Mac OS X running on Intel hardware is impressing some developers who've been privy to one of Apple's first Intel-based developer transition systems.

The systems started shipping to Mac OS X developers three weeks ago, each equipped with a 3.6 GHz Intel Pentium 4 processor with 2 MB L2 Cache, 800MHz front-side bus, 1GB of 533MHz DDR2 Dual Channel SDRAM, and an Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900.
Developers are renting the $999 hardware from Apple for a period of 18 months in order to get a head start in porting their applications to run on the Intel version of Mac OS X.
"It's fast," said one developer source of Mac OS X running on Intel's Pentium processors. "Faster than [Mac OS X] on my Dual 2GHz Power Mac G5." In addition to booting Windows XP at blazing speeds, the included version of Mac OS X for Intel takes "as little as 10 seconds" to boot to the Desktop from when the Apple logo first displays on screen.
Included with the Mac OS X for Intel distribution is an Applications folder stocked with a mixture of PowerPC and Intel-native applications. Applications that are compiled only for PowerPC processors are of filetype "Application (PowerPC)" whereas Intel-native binaries are labeled of standard type "Application".

I think how (or if) you blog about your spouse (whether she or she gets blogged by someone else or not) depends on how he or she wants it.
My wife, for instance, blogs, but semi-anonymously. She's not in my blogroll, and when I do occasionally link to her, I do it in such a way that it's not obvious how we're related. Because her blog gets a lot less traffic and she isn't as obvious about who she is, she links back to me more directly. I also comment on her site freely, and she does on mine too, but not usually under her full name.
It's sort of how you and Julie talk about your kids, but don't post pictures of their faces. Similarly, my wife and I post photos of our kids (faces included), but rarely if ever use their names, and since my wife's name is unusual, I don't use it so those looking on Google aren't likely to find her in unexpected ways. (This comment included.)
We all draw our own lines, and make our own masks, as Julie herself has said.
