This little backwater where I happen to make my home donated US$2 million to the Hurricane Katrina relief efforts the other day.
Here are some of the completely unsurprising things a not terribly comprehensive sample of the population had to say.

When last have I posted here? The housemate's been hogging the computer lately for all sorts of dastardly purposes, so it's hard for a dog to maintain a blog.

After writing that last blog entry I figured I'd do a quick scan of the housemate's hard drive (Spotlight, you rock!) to make sure I was being kept abreast of all the important goings-on in the household, and, sure enough, I discovered that things are being kept from me, notably these recent photos of Nettie, the dog I wrote about a couple of months ago. First of all, the creature has grown (check out the "before" photos) by what seems to be an unnatural amount, which to me suggests steroid use or hormone therapy. The captions on the photos tell the rest of the sordid tale. . . .

Those of you who follow the goings-on over at the housemate's podcasting site know that Caribbean Free Radio isn't listed in the new iTunes podcast directory and all the other matters she's been moaning about lately (yawn).
The other news is that Caribbean Free Radio now has a Wikipedia entry. Wonder how that got there?

Some of you have commented on my absence from the blogosphere in recent times. I'd like to see you try jockeying for computer time with a housemate who's not only podcasting, but photoblogging as well.

In this episode the housemate turns the tables on the BBC Caribbean Service producer who came to interview her on Friday. Hear the inside story on one of the few World Service stations with an increasing listenership, plus a couple of tunes on the side.
