If you are interested in how it is to be living in Iraq right now, then Where is Raed ? / Dear Raed is a blog that you should read. Its been quiet for a while, but now he is blogging again. Well worth taking the time to read, may even make some americans understand that war isn’t a computer game.

Very classy Michael. hollowcube.com – all your hollowcube are belong to us I especially like the integration of his lightweight and ultra fast Flash RSS-reader in the blog.

This is fun. Josh Dura and his brother Daniel has been working on a project/site/app they call Flogspot It looks like a lot of fun.

It is going to be very interesting to see how it all works out and how the dynamics of the project will affect the community and vice versa.
