Blog Roundup
Well one of the things about this review process is that sometimes I find a new blog. In this case: i spy gemini. I have no idea where the link came from (via trackback, comment or referrer log) but it is an interesting blog. After all the top entry on the page has a picture of an ibook. With a start like that, it can only get better :-) Sure enough, scan down a bit and you can find this quote:
A new week officially starts in about 10 minutes. I am off to bed so I can greet it with the renewed energy that came from interacting with friends and family this weekend. The best cure for a funk can sometimes be facing it head on with fun, and some much needed fitness. It worked well for me this weekend.
If you leave comment spam at Little Tiny Lies be prepared to have your comments edited. May not be as immediate but the long term effects might slow the spammers down :-) The mystery is how Steve ever gets time to blog given that he is writing a cookbook, holding down a job, learning the piano, making movies and making beer. I love this quote:
[the beer is] dark but not so black and bitter only a deranged Scot can drink it. Although I am a deranged Scot, come to think of it.
It is SO worth it to make your own beer, if you really like good beer. I got 4 kegs of tasty brew on tap, and each one cost around twenty bucks to make (or about forty cents a 12-oz. serving). Okay, yes, I blew a pile on the cooler and keg stuff, but if you bottle instead of kegging, you can get all your equipment for maybe two hundred bucks, and it works out to be very reasonable, especially if you're severely alcoholic or merely of Celtic extraction.
Which is kind of redundant.
The Gray Monk might be having a rough time at the moment but it doesn't seem to stop him posting on the weather, old ships, politics and religion. If only I could post that lucidly and intelligently :-)
All AgitProp, all the Time... is also having problems with comment SPAM. In this case someone is posting inappropriate essays in the comments and Paul has had to ban a whole subnet. Now if I got comment spam like that it would provide material for more posts - all I get is viagra, cheap credit and casinos. Personally I was also interested in the pointer to efficient hydrogen power.
Apparently DramaQueen has been a bit bad lately (although I think it is more a matter of lousy customer service). Mind you, she does make a lot of suggestive posts :-) She also knows that a hippo is a horse?
