Some recent events and discoveries of note:<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Item: New blogs<\/h3>\r\n

My brother has a new domain and a new blog, solar powered sparks<\/cite><\/a>. So does my sister-in-law, who’s moved oh my blog<\/cite><\/a> over from Blogger. And speaking of Blogger, my coworker Matt is writing up a storm over at Kimota94’s Place<\/cite><\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
