bloggedy blog: the personal weblog of a music lover and aging punk wannabe

:: Wednesday, January 22, 2003 ::

Back to blogging. I'm doing some honest-to-goodness blog-surfing today. And here are the links and commentary to prove it:

Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego would have loved this
It's the Firey Furnace Hot Sauce! Comes complete with appropriate scripture right on the label! Give these away to all your unsaved friends! Link from Pagan Prattle by way of Holy Weblog!

What Would David Brooks drive?
A Hummer, of course. Brooks weighs in on the anti-SUV controversy: This anti-SUV fervor strikes me as a classic geek assault on jock culture. Here are the geeks: thoughtful, socially and environmentally conscious. They understand that only spiritually shallow people could possibly get pleasure from a motor vehicle. Then there are those jocks. They cruise through life infuriatingly unaware of how morally inferior they are to the geeks. They make money, become popular, play golf and have homes that are too large. And they're happy! For all the wrong reasons! And so every few years the geeks pick on some feature of jock life (McMansions, corporations, fraternities, country clubs) and get all worked up about it. And you know what? The jocks don't care! They just keep being happy. The geeks write, protest and fume. The jocks go to St. Croix. Link via blogdex.

Put down the nukes and pick up HTML for Dummies
From Slate: Pyongyang may be building nuclear missiles, but it has yet to figure out how to launch a decent Web site. The home page for the Democratic People's Republic of Korea is such a strikingly amateur piece of work that many who find it wonder if it isn't some sort of hoax. You can't make this stuff up, people.

Choice and the post-Roe generation
On the 30th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, Time examines young adults' conflucting views on abortion. While their parents may have reflexively worn the pro-choice or pro-life label, the children of the post-Roe generation have more nuanced views on the issue. ... So how do you rally a generation that has known nothing other than legally sanctioned abortion? For starters, you hold rallies. Via Christianity Today's Weblog, which provides thorough coverage commemorating the Roe v. Wade decision.

Splash. Screens. Must. Die.
Heal Your Church Web Site offers sound advice on why website splash pages are bad. Quoting Vincent Flanders -- "Wal-Mart doesn't block the entrance to its stores by making you watch a movie or make you listen to someone who explains the history of the company" -- Dean lays out a strong argument against flashy splashies.

Deep Dirt gets a facelift
First Josh Sargent, then Karen Ward. Iggie has been busy!
