Friday, June 20, 2003 This week's Showcase Well ... I haven't yet read all the entries but my first vote goes to: Bill Gates to die in New York: Thoughts on the DV revolution at Brian Flemming's Weblog.    Update: Well ... I simply do not have the time I want to read and write right now ... and I will probably not for a week to 10 days as my Mom is here visiting from Israel.  But I did want to vote so I did a mediocre job of skimming all the entries to give at least everyone a nominal shot at my vote.  The last 2 go to: John McKay's Why do they support this man?  and  Prometheus 6's   Racism or Why They Don't Understand Us It was a tough call.  There were a few others I would have liked to be able to vote for.  Prometheus 6 was a 'gimme.'  Despite the fact that I didn't think it was a particularly compelling post, his is one of the few blogs I really try to read every day.  My life is so segregated [not intentionally] I never get to have conversations with persons of color about how current events effect them as POC so I am so greatful for his blog that I can at least hear one voice. [And no, I am not presuming that he is speaking for all POC or even anyone beyond himself.  But he is clear that his race impacts who he is and how he sees things]. As far as John McKay, I just liked his voice and a couple of other entries in his blog. So there you go.  For what it's worth. My .02   9:47:25 PM     It's official Well ... It's official.  I think I am addicted to blogging.  The last couple of days I have been crazy busy getting ready for my Mom's visit and I haven't had a chance to blog and it has been driving me nuts. The have been half a dozen news stories I have wanted to comment and I wanted to vote in New Blog Showcase.  So it is 5:20 am and my Mom is up [because it is noon or so her time] and Jared is up watching Elmo so I am up blogging,  On my new site. Which despite the fact that I don't love the look yet -- I am going to keep.  Mostly because of the ability for folks to leave comments here. Off to read the showcase.       5:24:47 AM     © 2003 ibyx Last Update: 7/1/2003; 1:28:11 AM
