Blog Review: Bark / Bite

4 comments October 25th, 2005

Title: Bark / Bite

Description: “Are you gonna bark all day, little doggie? Or are you gonna bite?”

What I like about this blog is that it bites! The author doesn’t hold back on the language, especially when he’s disgusted about something. And he sure does find something to be disgusted at on a relatively regular basis!

It’s a blog that’s mostly about US politics, and the author’s view of it. I’m suspecting that if he carries on having the fits of pure anger that I see every now and again, he’ll end up having a heart attack!

The bird flu hoax

2 comments October 25th, 2005

Further to the bird flu entry here, there's another article here that talks about the bird flu hoax.

Interestingly, the intelligence analysis by Stratfor has these particular comments…

An uncomfortable but undeniable fact is that there are a great many people and institutions in this world that have a vested interest in feeding the bird flu scare.

My own research into this has found the following information:

• Gilead developed Tamiflu in 1996 and used F. Hoffman-La Roche for global development and marketing in exchange for royalties (link)

• US Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld was made Chairman of Gilead in 1997 (link)

Wth thanks to stratfor.com:

Stratfor subscribers have been sending us a steady river of requests for our opinion on the bird flu situation. Although we are not medical experts, among our sources are those who are. And here is what we have been able to conclude based on their input and our broader analysis of the bird flu threat:

How to blog

Here's a great site with some tips on how to blog. Go read it, you might get something worthwhile from it.

Blogs and bloggers

While I was transferring content over from my previous sites I found this fascinating entry from February 2002 where I talked about how stupid blogs and bloggers are. Now here I am, a blogger myself.

It's amazing how times change, and where you once thought something was so stupid, a few years later you find yourself doing it.

Admittedly, blogging has grown to also include 'online journaling', and that's where I came in. When blogging evolved to include what I do, I made the switch. And I've been without any regrets.

Reviewing Blogs

Starting tomorrow, I'm going to review the blogs on my Bloglines list. Every day a new blog. Why? Just for the fun of it. Oh, and because I think it'll be fun. Ok… it'll increase the exposure of some of those blogs that I think are cool, and I think that's cool to do.

If you want your blog reviewed, and it's not on my list, write a comment to this entry and ask me. Make sure you provide a link to your blog if it's not in your linked profile.

Deleting the archives… nooooo!

Add comment October 25th, 2005

Over here I talked about deleting the pre-2005 archives that come from my other sites. I just started doing this, but after deleting the first one, and then looking at the next one, I just couldn't do it! Even though these archives are available at my other sites, I decided I really want them to be available on this site. Mainly for me. I realised I want to be able to find things, from one site, rather than exploring through 3 different sites. So I'm keeping them, and I'm now going continue the archiving process of bringing the best posts across to this one. I know you aren't interested, but this is for me, now that I've realised that.
