19. Ground Control
Time for a brief check in!
For those of you joining in for the first time, this is Blogathon 2007, and I’m blogging for the Electronic Frontier Foundation. But, since I do a terrible Jerry Lewis impersonation, I’ve chosen not to spend time writing about the cause, but rather just spend time doing art. After all, preserving our right to do art as we see fit is part of what the EFF’s all about.
To read more of what the EFF’s about (and follow some damned funny exploits to boot) drop by L’Enfant Plaza Metro Station. Proprietor Fuzzface is doing a bang-up job as EFF spokesman for this year’s Blogathon.
Now, if you’re new to Belly Timber, you might be asking yourself: Who the hell IS this crazy person and isn’t this supposed to be a food blog?
Well, truth is, we started as a food blog and now (because I’m a firm believer that niche blogging is so last year) we’re more of a whatever-we-damn-well-please blog. The “we,” I should note, includes the husband, the dog, two live cats, and one very persistent dead cat who insists on posting from beyond the grave.
A few of our favorite past posts include:
The Christmas Cookies of Cthulhu
What’s for Pud: Figgy Dowdy (In which we cook Jack Aubrey’s favorite dessert.)
Piggy Goes to War (Which should further explain the two American Camp themed posts I’ve put up today.)
and
Mighty Cheese Warriors: An Historical Perspective (A glimpse into the future archives of the great nation of Gastroblogia.)
A huge thanks to all my sponsors (and there’s still time to join that happy crowd), and to everyone who’s stopped by and left comments so far. I’m going to attempt to catch up enough so that I can actually reply to comments, but I can’t guarantee I’ll ever get there. Seriously, if I get a spare moment, more than likely, I’m heading for the fridge. There’s a jar of peanut butter in there that’s threatening to rebel and feed itself to the dog if I don’t retrieve it this instant!
