Distracted
Written by dave in Wednesday, October 22nd 2008
Between obsessively following political news and schoolwork it seems I've been neglecting this blog. Anything going on out there I should blog about?
Seeing that a lot of other non-political, non-Rays blogs have also slowed to a crawl I get the feeling we're all a little distracted right now.
If you need to kill a little time on the internet I recommend the always awesome Neatorama. [+]

Written by dave in Thursday, October 16th 2008
Don't forget that this page is only part of the bloggy goodness at Re/Creating Tampa. The Divine Miss N is currently guest-blogging at Eating Tampa and has made a suggestion for floating hand punch, and located a wonderful Italian restaurant in Carrollwood.
Greening Tampa is thinking about benches.
Reading Tampa is adding library and information science issues to its plate.
Screening Tampa has an announcement about Joost, as well as some great shorts (and comedy).

Remember to support your local blogs by clicking on their ads. That doesn't mean you have to buy something, click-throughs are an important measure in the blog advertising world.
If you're going to be using Amazon anyway consider starting from this page. Your purchase cost will remain the same, but since Amazon recognizes that you came from this page (or any of the re/creating pages) they'll cut me in on the profit.

Politics and General Update
Written by dave in Thursday, October 2nd 2008
While I follow politics closely, I don't really want to turn this into a political blog. Unfortunately, that's all that seems to be on the internet these days. [Clarification: Whoops, by politics I meant presidential politics. There are all sorts of political issues of interest to R/CT, both national and local, just not the personality contests at the top of the ticket.]
I think I've finally got into my rhythm at school, and the increased number [+]

At Reading Tampa I posted a review of Soon I Will Be Invincible by Austin Grossman (I liked it).
Eating Tampa has a new review of Restaurant BT (I didn't like it).
Greening Tampa takes a look at some composting toilets, and points to the How Buildings Learn documentary.
And at Screening Tampa is a great BBC documentary written by Adam Curtis called The Trap - What Happened to Our Dream of Freedom. Highly recommended. [+]
Off til Monday
Written by dave in Wednesday, August 6th 2008
It's back to work next week, so I'm taking a long weekend to hit the beach and sit poolside. See you on Monday!
While posts on this page have been slow the last couple of days, new material has been posted at the thematic pages. Be sure to check out the eating, greening, reading, and screening pages. [+]

Written by dave in Friday, August 1st 2008
In the About page I mention that we're in the process of fixin' up our house. This summer we re-did our bedroom, ripping out the old floor and putting in a new one, replacing the baseboards, and painting. The last thing to do, which I did earlier this week, was to put in some bookcases.
As it is now I have books tottering in piles next to stacks of boxes (full of books) in nearly every [+]More From Tampa
