Announcement/Tues open thread

Posted by: ST on May 21, 2007 at 11:21 pm

Business is picking up at the 8-5 to the point that it is getting difficult for me to do any meaningful daytime blogging, so for the foreseeable future, my blogging will mostly be in the morning prior to 8 and in the afternoon after 5 (moreso after 5 than prior to 8 a.m., as I am not a morning person – LOL), but I’ll check in when I can through the day when possible.

As much as I love doing this, the 8-5 takes precedence as that’s what gets the bills paid and keeps food in the fridge. I’ll do my best to create open threads to post sometime mid day each day, so anything big that happens in that timeframe can be posted about by readers and I can expand on the stories later in the evening if one or more of them draws my interest. And time-permitting during the day, I’ll post links of interest, but it might be a “quickie post” rather than something that includes any lengthy thoughts from me. Those, too, may be expanded on later in the evening when I have more time to think about them.

Just wanted you to know, so you didn’t think I wasn’t committed to keeping the blog up to date and informative. I love this place, and this type of schedule I’ve laid out is the best I can think of to keep the content and discussion flowing. My schedule might have changed, but my desire to blog and blog frequently has not. So no worries, I ain’t goin’ anywhere :)

    You could be like the California state senator, blog on your laptop while driving into work in the morning. When you hit the car in front of you, get out and scream “Don’t you know who I am? I’m a blogger!” :d

    Hope the 8-5 doesn’t get to crazy. Damned people anyway, just because they pay you they expect results?

    I can’t believe that someone would do this sort of thing and think they were logical. So very sad. – Lorica

    Remember when S.T. posted about that Iraqi translator who was trying to get into the U.S.? I just saw this article. I think this is great news and we can only hope that the Iraqi translator that was featured in S.T.’s post was one of those that got in.

    OH NO!!! PANIC TIME!!!

    If you thought islamic terrorism was an issue, you just aren’t focusing on the important problems.

    This is the real problem that should be on our minds:

    One of the world’s top chefs has warned that environmental degradation and an explosion in fine dining restaurants worldwide is set to have a drastic impact on the food trade.

    Habitats are being destroyed, killing off wild fish stocks and making some vegetables and fruits so scarce that a number of dishes will have to be dropped and restaurants will be forced to close, warns Pierre Gagnaire, one of the pioneers of experimental modern cooking.

    So not only will we be roasting from global warming, but we’re going to be hungry too? And it’s right around the corner:

    “For instance, in the next five to 10 years there will be no wild fish, only farmed fish. That will have a huge impact on not only cooking techniques, but also flavours and the dishes we cook,” he added.

    You read that right – no fish in the oceans or rivers in 5 to 10 years, except for the hatcheries. Heck, I’d have thought that with all the polar bears drowning, the fish would have plenty of food stocks. This guy might be giving the Goracle some competition for Fraud of the Week.

    But if you read further, you find the real reason he’s upset:

    “It seems an odd thing to say but there are too many good restaurants — suppliers just cannot cope,” said Gagnaire.

    “My suppliers are used to working for maybe three or four restaurants but now they are getting calls all the time from new restaurants opening up.”

    Because, you know, there are two Americas out there, and the America that gets $400 haircuts and eats at swanky restaurants shouldn’t have to deal with the peasants trying to eat a better quality of food.

    What. A. Maroon.

    Aha, as usual, you nit the nail on the head GWR! It’s a whine about competition disguised as a warning about environmental catastrophe.
