WikiCity on Ismaili
I know we got a lot of people interested in Shi’ism, specifically Isma’ili Shi’ism, coming through this site. Myself, and several others, have an interest in this group, but don’t want to make the blog about one particular interpretation. However, I have found WikiCities, and thought that might be a good place to continue a conversation on the topic. I can’t run it by myself and would like to hear if others, Isma’ili or not, would be willing to help start something up before letting the Wiki have its way. You can leave notes in comments or email me at…
gmail this
I have 50 bloody invites to gmail to give away. It’s still in beta. Anyone in the blog world not have one? or extra invitations? Post in comments if you want one.
A Self-Reflexive Moment
We started this blog in October of 2003 (I really should have marked the date), so we have now completed one year on the web…. The last few months, we have become focused on the Presidential election, and while we are not a strictly political blog, we will need to re-center once the President is announced (date TBA).
Visual Joke
Have I mentioned I’m a huge Apple fan. And I have a passing interest in politics?
Fund Free Mammograms
This site operates like the Hunger Site, but for mammograms…. Both programs are actually hosted on the same site, as are several other charitable causes.
Dumping of the Links
Can Islam Change? I would have liked it better if he asked “Can Muslims Change,” but the points are still interesting. I am loving Bollywood Muslim. The Muslim Brotherhood (Ikhwan al-Muslimin) in the US. Ohio Muslims engaged in the process. Michael Muhammad Knight on Progressive Islam. (I agree with him on CAIR and ISNA). Reconstruction and Planning Kabul. [PDF] Don’t stop Batman, stop the Brownie. A take on the second debate that I never would have had. Dishoom.
