James Joyner, of OUTSIDETHEBELTWAY fame has devised a rather ruthless scheme for driving up his blog revenue – by placing Michael Jackson’s mugshot on the top left corner of his main page, with an invitation to “make it disappear” with the purchase of a blog ad.
Well, Dr. Joyner – two can play that game.

An ordinary small business owner is invited to a small private meeting with the President Of The United States. No media was in attendance. He blogged about the experience on the cab ride back to the airport.
One of the best, ever.

I’ve been fighting off a fledgling migraine today with coffee, baked potatoes and a heating pad. Staring at a monitor is probably counterproductive but it keeps my mind off my mind, if you know what I mean.
Been looking for interesting Canadian blogs. Slim pickings so far. It seems insipid and self absorbed are characteristics of My Home And Native Land [tm]. (Though I suspect that’s a condition of blogdom in general)….. found one that was promising until I got to the part where she quoted Michael Moore approvingly…. bzzzzzt…. next contestant. These are worth a look, though.

Who Killed Theresa targets the dysfunctions of the Canadian justice system with sometimes personal details about criminal events and court cases.

I’ve noticed that my site isn’t updating automatically – for those of you who have blogrolled sda, please note that my url has changed. I suspect you have to go to blogrolling.com and edit it manually.

Frustration is an understatement for what has transpired in the past three weeks. It all began when there was a router problem at the datacenter the original host resides at. This was complicated by other factors beyond my control…
As mentioned below, I don’t know if the original server will be back online anytime soon, so it’s best to just bite the bullet and start fresh, I guess. On one hand, it’s hard to accept the loss of so much writing, but on the other, most of it was already dated and of limited relevance.
But what a three weeks to be blogless! .. the sponsorship scandal of the federal Liberals, Conan O’Brien, Don Cherry, the projection of the Gun Registry costs ballooning to 2 billion, and of course, the AWOL vs AFFAIR media coverage contraversy south of the border. Missed some weather snob posts and the opportunity to post wild photos of the blizzards.
What else to do but go sledding?
