Because of today's horrible events in London, England, the majority of our blogging contributors devoted much of their day to posting about the various sources coverage of the explosions, which, by early estimates, has taken 33 lives. The following is round up of the various post and out-pourings of concern originating in the blogosphere:

Neville Hobson, Safe And Back In Amsterdam
A quick post - just arrived back in Amsterdam. I am amazed by the over 20 emails and more than a dozen voicemails I'm picking up now from family, friends and concerned readers asking if I'm ok. Thank you, everyone. Yes, I am!
I've been in London over the past two days. Caught up in the chaos at Paddington station this lunchtime which, as I arrived there to catch the Heathrow Express, was evacuated because of a bomb threat. Police everywhere and hundreds of people rushing out of the station. But the massive inconveninece today resulting from my being indirectly caught up in the effects of the terrorist outrages pales into complete insignficance compared to the direct and awful effects of those outrages with more than 35 people dead and over a 700 injured.
Just to put things into proper perspective.
More later.
ProBlogger.net:
London Explosion here as we have family who use the tube in the areas affected and are waiting for word. Phones are down and we're a touch worried so I thought I'd do something productive.
Update - as I've updated on my other blog we've had good news from London from family. Despite being close to the explosions they are fine.
I've continued to update the page.

Scobleizer:
he is covering the London bombings on his blog. My heart fell, the same way it fell when I first heard about the 9/11 bombings. It's gonna be a dark day. I met him last month at the London geek dinner that Hugh Macleod held for me.
What a week for London. First they get the 2012 Olympics, now this.
