The last two weeks have been fairly active at our parent site.
I, Acilius, have posted about a BBC correspondent's fanciful theory about Barack Obama; about Banana Art, both newsworthy and from miscellaneous places on the web; have posted ukulele videos to commemorate the Fourth of July and the death of Michael Jackson; and have made notes about points that interested me in recent issues of The Nation, The Atlantic Monthly, The American Conservative, and The Economist.
Cymast has posted about military robots; about Russian cat fancier Nina Kostova; about Pop, the Swedish baby whose gender is a secret; about a rich dude who is taking care of some ducks; and about a Chicagoland entrepreneur whose business model seems to consist of including the word "Ass" in the names of his startups.
Believer1 marked the Fourth by putting the Declaration of Independence on the site. She also put up links to video of Barack Obama's humorous speech at this year's White House Correspondents Association dinner.
Blog founder VThunderlad has been silent lately; so too has LeFalcon. I alone remain of the original Thunderlads, at least for the moment. I'm in touch with the others, though, and I have hopes for their eventual return.
