Living-Room is looking at what types of people go into blogging. There does seem to be a bit of a trend. Head over, take the Enneagram free test and let him know your results. This is an interesting idea, and I think knowing can teach us how to communicate more effectively. So far, I’m the only Type 8. Type 8’s have a dark side and don’t play well with others!

Canadian Bloggers
All my Canuck blogging friends and readers might want to catch the re-run of the CBC’s Fifth Estate on Newsworld Sunday, if you didn’t have an opportunity to see it last night. (Yes. Sometimes the CBC does things well!)
It is on the Patriot missle system, Desert Storm, and the Isreali response. This system doesn’t work as a missle interceptor, and even with upgrades has not been tested in combat.

They are also overcomers.

Whew. The Bible Geek is angry. That’s a first. And he has good reason.

Trashy tech talk
Quantum Tea expresses the same beef I have with SlashDot. I’ve said it before, and this blogger says it better…. “the signal to noise ratio is so low it takes more time than I have to find the occasional nuggets of good stuff.”
Go cold turkey, there are other excellent tech sites out there.

Chosing how to face your Day
Ian’s Messy Desk has that wonderful passage from Max Lucado on choosing how to start your day. Even if it’s afternoon or evening, go read.

Hiccups
Mark Morris says that French scientists may have discovered why we hiccup.
I’ll take that one with a grain of sea salt, oui?

The bane of blogging bandwidth
Are you tired of URL’s that are a couple of lines long? Here is a great site that takes a long URL and makes it small. Cut and paste and save some space. Tiny URL.
