Big Plans for NC (and Triangle) Blogging in the New Year
So, whats' cookin' in the local blogging world? Quite a lot, actually.
First, our little group, BlogTogether is growing, growing. Instead of being just a little Anton's sideproject, we are thinking of turning it into a non-profit organization - so if you have experience with founding non-profits please let us know ASAP.
Also, apart from Anton, several others (including myself) are now able to post there. This will make the blog much more active and interactive this year than it was ever before. We are also looking for a nice-looking logo for it so we can slap it on side-bars of all of our blogs. If you have talent, give it a try!
Second, we are much more ambitious with meet-ups this year. We plan on having, each month, one virtual meet-up (here). We'll continue with our regular two meet-ups (at Milltown at 6:30pm) where we sit down over coffee or beer and chat, usually starting with a particular topic (see here for some topics we are planning for February and March), before it becomes a free-for-all. Even if you are not a blogger - come by and within minutes you'll have a blog of your own as we'll help you set one up in minutes!
Once a month we'll have a more active meet-up, actually doing something fun for a change (and get our butts off the comfortable chairs). This month, we'll go bowling (hey, the place has wi-fi, so you can liveblog!). In the past, we've had between four and eight people normally showing up at meetups (unless a celebrity comes by - then everyone shows up). Let's try to have a greater attendance this year. After all, now that both Pandagon (with both Pam and Amanda living here) and Panda's Thumb are Triangle-based blogs (should our logo have a panda on it?!), the epicenter of power-blogging of the world is somewhere in the RTP area, I'd guess. So come by and meet the blogging stars!
We are already planning the second Science Blogging Conference (and the anthology to go with it) for early 2008!
In the meantime, think about joining us for the FoodBlogging series of events (if eating, drinking, eating, drinking and repeating it all over again can be called 'events') this summer. Sure, click on that link and salivate! What great places to eat and drink with fellow bloggers and blog about it!
Anton is hinting about some major activity on the StoryBlogging front this year as well.
And there are more ideas floating around (a design conference, perhaps an EduBlogging Conference, etc.)
Finally, and very importantly, the Tar Heel Tavern #102 will be hosted at Moomin Light this weekend. There is no theme, so send whatever you'd like to: songfinn AT yahoo DOT com by Saturday evening..
Once again, the Tavern was closed last weekend for the lack of a host. Will #102 be the last Tarheel Tavern? It's up to you - no one is signed up to host after this weekend. Do you want to host in the near future? Let us know. Do you want to get more involved in managing the carnival (as Laurie, Erin and I are both too busy with other stuff to do so full-time)? In any case, let us know at: coturnix AT gmail DOT com (me) or lponeill AT att DOT net (Laurie).

"While the NetScape complaint raised red flags in a pro-competition Clinton Administration Justice Department, Google's alarms about antitrust are getting a very different reception by the Bush Administration this time around, the article notes. That may be due, in part, to high-powered Justice officials with ties to Microsoft, including Assistant Attorney General Thomas O. Barnett, formerly of Vice Chairman of the antitrust division at Covington & Burling, a firm that represented Microsoft in its antitrust case against the government and continues to represent the company"("NYT: Google seeks antitrust action against Microsoft", INFOWORLD, 10th june 2007 ).
On the electrical chair with Covington(Carolina) and all legal entities(Covington & Burling) who committed christian collusion & is there proven
as well as in New Mexico.
Against all Christians or such Swiss, who issue maps for the Jewish establishment of a state in law_full Islamic states in buildings & consular agencies as Baghdad, the Islamic sharialaw must be applied.

Des fonctionnaires consulaires suisses n'ont pas été présents

Des fonctionnaires consulaires suisses se sont évacués 2004 clandestinement de Baghdad et sont 3 ans sur des vacances permanentes à Nyon[Genève] ou après à Tel Aviv ou Jerusalem!
