Sorry friends, foes, cronies and inmates of the b’sphere asylum – I have a vicious hangover today, right now and last night. You can read my excuse here…
So instead I’ll do a quick scribble of what caught my attention this week …
Citizen journalism at its best…
A big slap on the back to Chartreuse, Loren and the gang that did their thing in New Orleans and are now showcasing the videos they’ve came back with. Check out New Orleans – The People Speak and Interview With Pres Kabacoff for some top quality insight into New Orleans today. This is citizen journalism/documentary making that I like and wish to see often on a range of issues. They have more videos coming.

Mr Pompus keeps on keeping on …
The pompus snob himself, John “we’re not a blog network, really” Syntagmata-whatever keeps galloping away on his high horse about all things blog networks and how we’re (us bloggers) all second-rate stringers to the mainstream. But that’s only when he finds the time after having to take down swiped images from his blog, sorry, web network magazine, webmag, WebNetMag, and any other hack job on a play of words I can muster up … as well as seemingly censoring (ie: deleting) comments that doesn’t agree with him. I’d link but I don’t feel like it. :-)

The crowd goes wild at ProBlogger…
Mr ProBlogger himself, Darren Rowse, hits another home run (in Australia that would be called smashing a Gilly six over long on) with his group writing project – this time about “How-to’s”. There’s some decent prizes and already 230+ entries. Take a looksee…

One shit hot blog designer…
And finally, Michael D. Pollock – the former owner and blogger at SmallBusinessBranding.com which he sold to Aussie Yaro Starak earlier this year is back with a vengence – this time as one shit-hot blog designer over at solostream webstudio. He does the occasional podcast, gives away some themes and writes some nifty tutorials and blog posts. His design work so far has been outstanding and I think he is one of the folks out there ready and willing to take WordPress design and layout to the next level. One to watch.
And that’s all folks from your gonzo columnist for this week – I promise next weeks column will be totally focused on one issue – or … do you folks like this style of short, snappy opinion pieces within the one column? Let me know.
