One Year Ago -- Yesterday and Today
One year ago YESTERDAY the 31st of August was BlogDay2005 and I wrote up my five recomendations of other bloggers. Well my recomendations still stand:
My Boyfriend is a Twat is written by Zoe about her boyfriend and children from her home in Belgium. It won the Bloggies 2005 award for Best European Blog. UPDATE: It ALSO won the Bloggies 2006 award too!!!!
Amygdala is is a blog well known in some circles. Written by Gary Farber, this blog features posts about assorted subjects of interest to him, including Sci-Fi, interesting links he's encountered, some politics, etc. UPDATE: Gary is still writing his blog albeit more sporatically as his health declines due to poverty and and the lack of medical care and general suppoprt in Colorado where Gary resides due to Grover Norquiest's influence wanting to "drown government in a bathtub".
View from A Broad is a blog written by Ginmar who is a FEMALE solder just back from Iraq where she was often the one manning (staffing) the machine gun thingie on a convoy. And her blog entries of just a few months ago were covering that period. Ginmar is also a feminist who demands that others respect her rights and her right to have her own opinions. UPDATE: Ginmar is now battling PTSD aquired like MANY OTHER SOLDIERS from her experiences in Iraq.
The Daily Pfennig is an unusual blog. Maybe it isn't even considered to be a blog? Anyway it's written by a BANKER who comments on the financial situation of the USA versus other countries as he comments on world currencies (which he sells, ie. that's his job). UPDATE: The status quo here hasn't changed much except that I find MORE people of my aquaintance are now interested in International financial matters too.
Nancy's Blog is unusual because it's a political blog from an astrological point of view. UPDATE: The readership of Nancy's blog seems to be slowly increasing. And there was a nice writeup of it elsewhere too.

One year ago TODAY, I wrote an angry blog entry about the Katrina disaster. My feelings are unchanged, except perhaps now stronger.
It was a totally needless disaster!
It could have been largly avoided ot mitigated with better evacuation procedures and competent humanitarian and reconstruction responses.
I now believe that there will NEVER BE reconstruction of the Gulf area to what it was before Katrina struck.
