RECENT SURF RESULTS
roaming finds |
worth sharing IMHO |
• J-Walk Blog | John Walkenbach's "stuff that may or may not interst you" | Inveterate author and researcher on MS Excel spreadsheets, he shares with us his photo caption humor and other "stuff" he's come across to catch our attention | Too bad he has been replaced by a dog so I don't know if the quality of the site will stay up |
• Steve Gilliard's Newsblog | Some of the most thoughtfully written copy on Fajullah and the Bushwars I've seen online | That Steve and his co-poster don't limit their postings to this subject alone makes the blog's value evern greater |
• Wood's Lot | Arts and Politics from a Canadian blogger with connsumate good taste | The content is dense with picture images, rich with links to orginal texts and artwork; all, thankfully free from the corporate copyright hoarders | Folks on dial-up will have to be patient while this site uploads |
• Rick Giombetti's Kangaroon Court | A remarkable effort at staying current on mental health/illness issues in the news | Provises a rather extensive list of state agencies, NAMI chapters, Big Pharma links, "anti-psychiatry" resources and more | All this in only a year of blog posting | Incredible stuff |
• y Sang's Loneliness is Tough | This is a relatively new blog effort, or so it seems | Life from the perspective of a 16 year old girl | A little giggly, nervous, but she's making an effort and I find it helpful to understand the teen-age psyche somehow | Glad my own kid has grown up |
• Arr, the Kraken | Personal site | Zack Birkenbuel's been doing this for a few years and has a lengthy archives to ponder through | His travel log to Australia is enlightening | While on the surface the site seems pretty everyday, I find myself intrigued at a project he's pursuing | That's a simulation game called
• Coming Out Straight | The premise here is to walk someone who is a sexual minority ~ heterosexual ~ in a society where the dominant culture is gay | The "game" is new, has only a few scenarios, but could have promise if it helps broaden someone's awareness to the subtleties of prejudice and bigotry | I've taken part in the project, and have "outed" myself as "Straight" under a pseudonym | Kraken's sit is not to be confused with the following;
• NARTH's "Coming out Straight" | Here you have the "ex-gay" perspective | "Reorientation Therapy" it appears, is probably not too far from the concept of Cult Deprogramming | Blissfully ignorant [or silent, I'm not certain which] of the gay ex-gay spokesmen who ever now and again get caught soaking in the atmosphere of a homo pick-up bar | they have a section of "ethics" but I'm not sure they understand the concept | ¶ 20:42
