I’m going to take the tent and camping backpack out to the car–we’re leaving early tomorrow for Twin Falls, Idaho.

One of the downsides of the web 2.0 social networking and social bookmarking sites is the need for some sort of civil order.

Gordon Brown’s comments in recent days make it clear that he intends to move away from Tony Blair’s mistaken, uncritical support of America’s current foreign policy. As reported in the New York Times on May 11:
‘Bolstered by a long-awaited endorsement from Tony Blair, Gordon Brown, Britain’s prime minister-in-waiting, moved quickly on Friday […]

Then twenty or so widgets on my site are just twenty or so widgets.  Do I have a weakness for them, or all they all just so necessary for a modern blog that I would be missing out being without any single one of them?
