Web Reads… 27Feb2011

  1. The Queen advertises for a dish washer to come on staff… My local MSP wonders if they’ve not heard of a dish washing machine.
  2. The WHO drills down into the alcohol stats.. Apparently alcohol killed more people than AIDS or TB in 2010.. Sobering..
  3. Understanding the story.. Thirteen perspectives….
  4. Brain chemicals and dating.. A primer.
  5. Teju Cole’s ‘Open City’ hits the shelves… The New YorkerThe Daily Beast and The Apostrophe weigh in with reviews.
  6. The kid named Facebook..Ostensibly its a testament to the impact FB had on the Egypt Revolution.. Hopefully, the kid doesn’t get a lot of stick for the name though..
  7. There’s an app for that… Tracking relationship changes on Facebook gets the Web2.0 makeover….. SMH..
  8. Web mourning?
  9. Help for the blokes – wristbands that warn of potentially PMSing partners.
  10. Bringing faiths together by cuisine.. The Faith and The Hot Dog show..

  1. I actually think the idea of the wristband isn't too too bad.
    Wth with web mourning, like seriously people need to quit with these things.
    Now i want to read Teju Coles book (never heard of him before)
    That dating primer is just another way of saying whats been said over and over again, in his/her mind now she thinks she has come up with something new. mschewww

    1. Depends on what you mean by 'focusing on'.. if you mean blogging about events, workshops, contests etc, I think the Bookaholic blog <a href="http://(http://m.dhjax.me/fvP5xn” target=”_blank”> <a href="http://(http://m.dhjax.me/fvP5xn” target=”_blank”>(http://m.dhjax.me/fvP5xn ) is about the only one I know with just that focus.. A few others like Myne Whitman's <a href="http://(http://www.mynewhitmanwrites.com/)” target=”_blank”> <a href="http://(http://www.mynewhitmanwrites.com/)” target=”_blank”> <a href="http://(http://www.mynewhitmanwrites.com/)” target=”_blank”> <a href="http://(http://www.mynewhitmanwrites.com/)” target=”_blank”>(http://www.mynewhitmanwrites.com/) plug their own stuff.. and there's a couple of forums Naija Stories <a href="http://(http://m.dhjax.me/hsXj4M)” target=”_blank”> <a href="http://(http://m.dhjax.me/hsXj4M)” target=”_blank”> <a href="http://(http://m.dhjax.me/hsXj4M)” target=”_blank”> <a href="http://(http://m.dhjax.me/hsXj4M)” target=”_blank”>(http://m.dhjax.me/hsXj4M) and Nigerian Fiction <a href="http://(http://m.dhjax.me/hGtfhI” target=”_blank”> <a href="http://(http://m.dhjax.me/hGtfhI” target=”_blank”> <a href="http://(http://m.dhjax.me/hGtfhI” target=”_blank”> <a href="http://(http://m.dhjax.me/hGtfhI” target=”_blank”>(http://m.dhjax.me/hGtfhI )
