Blogs That Might’ve Been

January 31, 2005

Due to some unfortunate situations, here are a list of blogs I like and have been reading, but due to my self imposed guidelines I won’t be adding to my blogroll.
The Dynamist – Very cool conservative chick who has been blogging the Iraqi elections. She doesn’t make the cut because she doesn’t allow commenting. Damn [...]

Thanks to Matt for this reminder of how badly our websites may have looked. I’ll refrain from sharing mine. ;)

With Decision Day Past, Now Comes the Real Test

January 31, 2005

By all accounts, Election Day 2005 in Iraq was a success. The predicted mass coordinated attacks never transpired and although 44 people died in homicide bombings around the country, the death toll was far less than expected. An estimated 60% of eligible voters turned out to vote, mostly in Shi’ite and Kurdish provinces, but higher [...]

Soros: Kerry Was a Flawed Candidate

January 30, 2005

In an article on Bloomberg.com billionaire George Soros has finally seen what 60+ million other people saw last election season:
“Kerry did not, actually, offer a credible and coherent alternative,” Soros, 74, said yesterday in an interview at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

Why the Iraqi Elections Will Fail

January 30, 2005

The idea of allowing the Iraqi citizens to vote today, while noble, is far fetched. The reason is numbers.
In a country that is not used to democracy, has not had the ability to know the candidates and in some cases, may be threatened with their life if they choose to vote, choosing from a list [...]

FireBillick.com: What a Waste of Time

January 28, 2005

Why someone would go to the bother of trying to have Brian Billick, head coach of the Ravens, fired is beyond me. This site is obviously amateur and he makes no valid point. He makes claims that:

Super Bowl XXXV was Marvin Lewis’ Super Bowl, not Brian Billick. Response: Marvin Lewis did wonders for the Ravens [...]

Wordpress Bug Reporting

January 28, 2005

The Wordpress devs provide a bug tracking utility to allow users, particular of nightly build and beta software to report issues that may arise from the use of these pre-gold versions.
I have been using nightly builds for quite some time but usually don’t report issues. Frankly, I don’t normally encounter, and that, I feel, speaks [...]

Dance With the Ones Who Brung Ya

January 27, 2005

I have been thinking for some time about the difference between bloggers and the main stream media (MSM). As we saw in the last election cycle, bloggers have come to play an important part in the information age. Some predict that 2005 will be the year of the blog. Some say 2004 was. Regardless of [...]

Job Offer

January 26, 2005

I should be thrilled. I should be ecstatic. But I’m not. Maybe it’s the sour mood I’ve been in all day. Who knows. But I have mixed emotions about a job offer I am likely to accept, but not thrilled to accept. In the three weeks since we recieved our warning that 50% of the [...]

The XBOX Will be the Downfall of Society (?)

January 26, 2005

Great entry over at Garfield Ridge explaining why women just don’t “get” men who play Halo 2.
