The weekend is upon us again, so as is tradition around these parts, we’re going to see what the bloggers on the Internet have to offer us as we take a tour of the blogosphere. Let’s make this a weekend filled with awesomeness!

No post about being awesome would be complete without Ed Lau. He says that his blog provides 100% of your recommended daily intake of awesome. While he doesn’t have the iPhone 3G S (yet), Ed did upgrade his current iPhone 3G to the iPhone 3.0 software and he’s loving the built-in tethering. Now he can have real Internet access on his laptop anywhere he has cellular service.

The blogosphere just hasn’t been the same for the last few months, because it’s been missing Derek Semmler. Well, the native from the Chicago area has hopped back to his personal blog for a quick update. Did you miss him? In his update, he talks about his day job, getting more sleep, and his Harley.

Like so many other children of the 1980s, Greg Morgan grew up as a big fan of Michael Jackson. He was incredibly influenced by his music, enthralled by his dancing ability, and thoroughly entertained by MJ as a performer. It was definitely sad to see the King of Pop pass away yesterday, but let’s remember the good times… like the first ever moonwalk. The iconic dance has been immortalized on YouTube.

International travel is one of the best ways to spend your money, especially if it means that you get to visit family that you may not have ever seen before. Tyler Cruz is taking advantage of his dot com lifestyle for a two-week (minimum) trip to the Philippines. He’s half-Filipino and he’s going not only to visit the beautiful country, but also to meet up with his 90-year-old grandma and, by his own estimation, 4,023 cousins.

Sometimes, it pays to be a tourist in your own city. Rebecca Bollwitt, who you may know better as Miss604, recently took a trip out to the Downtown Eastside in Vancouver to visit the Vancouver Police Museum. While there, she got a great tour of the old morgue, a brief history lesson on Gastown, and all sorts of views into Vancouver’s underbelly.
