Senegal, A Chinese Economic Colony?
Interesting video about the influx of Chinese immigrants into Senegal. Apparently, the locals aren't happy with the Chinese. Yes, the video was produced by Al Jazeera, get over it.
Dear Windows 7, I figured out why you\'re named so. It\'s because it takes 7 days to upgrade to you. http://bit.ly/aie1IS

Man Almost Died After Being Attacked By Bees
This attack happened near my house. It's crazy to think that this man almost died after being swarmed by bees.
No one seems to know if it was Africanized bees or not.

New Mexico's Susana Martinez the Future Of The GOP?
Here's the money quote in this article:
You shouldn't be able to get away with hate anywhere. You shouldn't be a demagogue. You should clearly state your intentions when you want to get elected into office.
I like that she opposes reviewing the 14th amendment, and I don't necessarily disagree about police checking immigration status of suspects, provided they check EVERYONE'S status.
I don't like her hints of demagoguery.
What else have you got GOP? Seems like all you have are potential demagogues and racists. Not that you're much different from the Democrats in that respect.
Can some party just throw me a bone?
“You can’t really hate and get away with it in New Mexico,” said Antonio Maestas, a Democratic state representative from Albuquerque. “That’s why it was shocking when she got away with it in the primary."

Does It Matter If You're Not a Journalist?
I like how this article addresses this issue. At times, I struggle with the idea of whether I'm a "journalist" or not.
It used to be, that only people that were published in a magazine, or a newspaper were "real" journalists. The rest of us were just "wannabees" or "not good enough to get a job writing for the paper" or the second rung plain and simple "bloggers."
Bottom line, I keep a "journal" which makes me a by default makes me a "journalist." The thing is, that it's more complicated than that.
I like how the article explores the question of "acts of journalism" and whether or not something has "journalistic value." I'll be the first to admit that I hardly ever commit "acts of journalism" and that most of my stuff has little to no "journalistic value" but does that really make it any less important?
What do you think?
