  • Many Started Web Logs for Fun, but Bloggers Need Money, Too

    Interesting story in the New York Times on the future of blogging, and how much money people might be able to make from it. As for myself the donations total since I started this weblog stands at €0. That’s in 2 years of blogging. And paying almost €20 a month for my server means that…

  • Politicus: Fischer's shifting vision of Europe's grand future: John Vinocur

    John Vinocur as usual with some great insight into European politics. Crucially he points out that Joschka Fischer has some curious views on the future of the EU.

    The D12 crew is composed of 6 talented and hardworking emcees from Detroit. Since the beginning of their carreer, D12 has been targetted by the media and negatively criticized “for making money by exploiting the world’s misery”. D12’s first fight is against censorship and it is all about freedom of speech. It seems like their…
