I always love checking out Blogger’s Blogs of Note as posted on their home page. I usually always find one blog that I think is totally awesome.
Not sure how these Blogs of Note get selected. Anyone out there know?
Anyway, I love the layout and design of The Swimming Hub; content rocks, too. Just wanted to add my vote, though there is no election here, but this is a great site.
P.S. Adding this little blurb to my blog will also help me keep a record of this link so that it doesn’t get lost in the shuffle. I may have mentioned it before, but I sometimes like to use this blog as my virtual online notebook. 
Hope you don’t mind.
From one of the discussion boards that I frequent, someone recommended a particular audio clip. So, I clicked through. Turns out I didn’t care for the clip that was recommended. However, I am the type of person, that when a new hit song comes out, I like to listen to all of the songs on the album to see if I like the overall style of the artist. That being said, I browsed around this site and found a Flash animation that redeemed the whole site for me.
This animation shows what the Numa Numa guy would be like if on “American Idle“. (By the way, there’s also a link to the original NumaNuma song on this link in case you haven’t seen it.) Check out this animation on ebaumsworld.com.
P.S. I’ve always loved the Numa guy’s original song. I read a few articles that suggest he regrets putting it out there and is embarrassed by it. So, to Gary, please just put it behind you and just know, “We love you, Man.”
It is definitely the media’s choice (along with their sponsors) on which news stories get featured and which don’t.
According to a recent news posting, Mississippians are frustrated that the devastation that they received from Katrina has been overshadowed by coverage given to the devastation in New Orleans during that same storm, e.g. as most recently evidenced with a story about some supposed New Orleans dolphins (which in actuality…is that a word?…were from Mississippi) getting a new home after their Katrina plight.
I generally do agree with the Mississipians. Mississippi is not a state that comes to mind for most people when they discuss Katrina.
If it makes anyone feel better, keep in mind the total lack of coverage given to the tens of thousands of people affected by the earthquake in Pakistan….no mention whatsoever any more…..and hardly any to begin with when it first happened either (i.e., occurring in early Oct ‘05 and affecting parts of Afghanistan and northern India, too).
Why don’t we hear anything about the following?
Some 400,000 houses were destroyed and over 73,000 people perished – including some 35,000 children. On that fateful Saturday morning, tens of thousands of families lost an entire generation – children who left for school but never returned. Over 135,000 people were injured – mostly women, children and the elderly – with thousands becoming disabled and paraplegics.
