Blog Roundup

There is no unifying theme tonight but I notice that there is still a great deal of ongoing angst about the MovableType changes. The licences have got easier but there still seems to be a lot of people looking at alternatives.

Closet Extremist is a new blog (to me at least) which presumably popped up from the munu blogroll. It may have been coincidence but the first post that I read has a similar theme to this post. There is a state of sleeplessness that seems to have a special clarity about it. I sympathise with the stomach bug because I seem to be suffering from one at the moment (and so is one of the kids). IN what could end up being a circular reference, I note that Closet Extremist also has a roundup of sorts.

Next random site happens to be All AgitProp, all the Time... who has returned after a long absence that had something to do with flying south for spring. Paul had a quick item on a crazy suicide bomber who takes on a Bradley IFV. Not a real smart thing to do but then again if he was smart, he wouldn't be a suicide bomber. On a lighter note, I nearly soaked my new computer when I saw this post about Micky Moore who turned up at Cannes in the same outfit as Alexandra Kerry*.

Read My Lips has recently started a series of Stupidest Human posts where readers can nominate (and vote?) for complete idiots. Tiger has also had a traffic blip like mine (but on a much bigger scale). IT is also worth noting that there has been a reinstatement of the Nightly Navel Gazing Reports.

Dusting My Brain is also doing a roundup post. Maybe we should all get together and agree to do each other sites :-) Actually seriously, it might we worth getting a system together so that we spread the reviews round (or at least pass the readers around). Back to the cleanest brain around, there is a concern about photo quality immediately followed by a fantastic photoshop job. I gotta say, that both Cindy and Al do a much better job than I do - but that doesn't mean I will give up on the PotD (Photo of the Day) yet.

Finally we have Selective Amnesia or do we? Checking this post suggests that in fact Selective Amnesia might be somehow related to The Blog Amnesia. The Blog Magister is trying out MT as a blogging tool. Given last weeks MT issues, there could have be a more opportune time... Actually, we will probably arrange for Chandrachoodan to test WP if MT doesn't suit his requirements. Despite the apparently unknown name, Chandrachoodan has been commenting on posts here for literally ages under the tag "Ravages". Check out this post about economists which concludes: “If all the economists were laid end to end, they'd never reach a conclusion.” That reminds me of the old saw about the HSC exams (University Entrance) held in NSW. Economics is a special subject because it is the only topic where the exam questions do not change from year to year..... but the answers do.

[* Yes I know that one of the images in photoshopped. The question is, which one :-)]
