Let me count the ways
I love the new place. (Take a bow, Josh and Cam.) I love the search engine. I was looking for something a few minutes ago, something to do with the Motoons and reactions in Denmark; I searched with “Motoons,” which produced a lot of items but not the right one, so I tried “Denmark” which brought it right up – along with a surprising array of other stuff just on the first page. I wouldn’t have guessed I mention Denmark that often! But I do – not always because of the Motoons. It just gave a nice sense of a rich resource…It’s a beautiful search engine.
Hear, hear! Thank you, Josh and Cam! The new B&W is truly a style equal to the substance.
I tend to read your pearls of wisdom from the RSS feed, so I had completely missed your new shiny site! Very nice.
Yeah – the new place is surely nice and shiny – there’s sibilance and onomatopoeic sounds gracefully lining the B&W squeaky clean walls.
I still liked the old one, it reminded me of the good old days when the Internet looked like something I could have done myself. Now I just feel like I’m looking at something far beyond my ken… [/Eeyore]
“Hang onto your hooves, grey ears. “This new house is gonna be fantasterific. Hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo! ” Just you wait and see. Bring on the pumpkin seeds! :-!
Hey, it’s traditional to warm up a new place (hint, hint).
Hey, OB, did you know that transgenic foods are causing homosexuality and baldness in Europe? President Evo Morales says so, so it must be true as he’s been democratically elected.

Hey, I’m glad you like it. There are still some things I’d like to try out (recent comments in the sidebar, maybe, and I’d still like to get the comment editor spruced up a bit), and if there are any improvements you can think of, please let me know.
@6: why do they do that? Ought to be a beacon of sense and justice for the poor of the world; turns out to have a head full of crap; rinse and repeat. Even when it’s not the individual [Nelson Mandela appears mostly to have all his marbles], it’s the party [his successors love them some AIDS denialism]…
@8: Yes, it makes you wonder. Even more ridiculous than the dangerous Thabo Mbeki (can he not be prosecuted?) is the current president of Gambia who personally cures people of AIDS by laying on hands at his palace. On Thursdays, I think it is.
Morales did state as an objective a year or two ago that all food production in Bolivia should be organic (by 2020 I think), and it may indeed be that that would be a good economic opportunity for the country. But I’m mystified by his reference to transgenic foods in Europe – actually there is essentially NO transgenic food in Europe, apart from what I guess is in processed foods imported from the USA and elsewhere. We do have homosexuality and baldness though, even in the same person!
Thanks for that link, Stephen. Sheesh.
