Just as John Carpenter, the Hollywood producer and director, has become known for quality productions in the movie world, Todd Carpenter (no relation that I know of) is consistently releasing quality concepts into the blogosphere. 

Todd’s sites include (in the order I discovered them):
 

Lenderama a ‘traditional’ mortgage blog.
 

LoanBark!, more consumer advocacy (biting) content.
 

Real Estate & Mortgage Blogger’s Exchange or REMBEX, searchable index of selected mortgage and real estate sites.
 

A Mortgage Training Wiki
 

The REMBEX Blog Fiesta is Todd’s latest endeavor, incorporating aspects of a social network/ community to connect quality content providers for greater education relative to real estate and mortgage topics.  

From Blog Fiesta’s 2nd post:

"First off, I am among the most knowledgeable bloggers in this industry when it comes to how blogging works. But I’m also sure that I have far more to learn than I already know.  I read what other leading voices have to say, and I think they all are in the same boat. A good start, but we are far from the finish."
 

I applaud Todd for his efforts to increase awareness and quality relative to these often misunderstood industries, as well as his willingness to include other opinions and content that may be contrary to his own, evidenced by his interviewing moi for the Fiestas first interview.  Mr. Multi-Task should also be considered brave, since my opinions are typically not among the most popular with those inside these industries  

One question for Todd…Who is Mariah??
