According to information I picked up at the Poynter Institute Web page, coal mining has becoming increasingly safe over the years. A decade-by-decade breakdown of coal mining deaths is as follows:
2000-2001: 80
1990-99: 454
1980-89: 944
1970-79: 1,547
1960-69: […]
That’s the only conclusion I have for what I saw here.
All blogs listed in the Ecosystem will experience significant changes in link counts and ranking over the next several days. Do not be alarmed. Remain calm. All will be well!
Well, something is screwy. According to this page, I am 131st in the entire Ecosystem. I’m […]
There. Now if Rob is consistent, I ought to be moving from “large mammal” to “playful primate” status in the Ecosystem any time now. Go ahead. Take your revenge and try to crash my servers. Bwahahahaha!
And by the way, Rob. My mama’s family is from Tennessee, and she’s from a long-line of shiners. You should […]
HOG ON ICE: Tsunami Blogging: Concern or Bloodsucking?
The video bloggers are providing a service, at what must be an enormous cost in bandwidth. They’re also providing plenty of non-video links as well, including links to charities.
Steve H. expresses a thought I’ve had about all this.
I haven’t posted about the tragedy for two reasons.
1. What could […]
The Journal Star reports some tragic news:
A female Peoria police officer was killed and a male officer injured after the squad car they were riding in crashed head-on into a utility pole in the North Valley Thursday night.
The accident occurred shortly before 9:30 p.m. at Adams and Van Buren streets, in front of Komatsu […]
You can also call it rebootitis, although Legionnaires Disease works nicely. It’s the tendency of comic book companies to simply hit the “do over” button and erase a comic book character or characters’ entire back history. Supposedly, this boosts sales and erases the dead wood from continuity. As often as not, it’s because someone feels […]
WMBD 31: Peoria Special Census Results
The numbers found an additional 5,000 new residents in Peoria’s northwest cell.
The city was only expecting a growth of about 25-hundred people.
Based on the findings, the city will get an additional half a million dollars [each year?] from now until and the next census in 2010.
Since the least says […]
If the guy at Mostly Cajun can adjust his blogroll to reflect my migration from pMachine to Moveable Type, I can change my blogroll to reflect his URL now that he is using WordPress.
Dean Esmay discusses the possibility that it does not.
Given everything now theorized about decades-long dormancy periods and the possibilities some grant that a patient might be an AIDS “carrier” but personally immune, is it medically possible that a patient might be HIV and have some AIDS symptoms and not have AIDS? Are there any […]
Who is the performer, long assumed to be a left-winger, whose recently released book reveals some decidedly right-of-center opinions?
Bob Dylan.
Yes. That Bob Dylan. The warbly-voiced folk singer who was the spokesman for the Hippy Generation couln’t stand them, but was willing to cash the checks.
All I’d ever done was sing songs that were dead straight […]
Conrad blogrolled Peoria Pundit waayyyyyy back when, and I always enjoyed visiting for his take on Chinese politics, and the occasional eye candy post. His site is now completely unavailable.
Since he hails from Asia, I thought his take on the earthquiete and resulting tsunami might be of interest.
Anyone have any idea what happened to him? […]
I’ve been obsessively checking my referal logs today and came across a hit from a Google search for “British students set a record for the most people to ride a roller coaster naked.”
I have a feeling the pic they were looking for is below. All I could find on Google was the SFW pic I […]
Like Jim at Parkway Rest Stop, I don’t have enough hours in the day to read all my blogrolled sites. It’s a hit and miss thing.
But, I do take time to thank people for their linkage to me. And I’ll pass along these links (found at Parkway Rest Stop) for my readers’ consideration:
Better Living […]
Well, not really, but I’m trying to get his attention.
I was glad to read this post.
I’ve done averything his site suggests, and sent him an email or two, but the Blogosphere Ecosystem — which he adminirates — still has my site pointed to a domain name that I haven’t used for close to one full […]
