Monday Blog Treats

Greetings! The Monday Blog Treats are here! What’s happening in the world and blogosphere (greater than the world!)? Lots of politics, art (mostly arts because that’s my scene), and people talking about themselves (including me talking about myself).

To keep my dear readers informed, I will deliver the 'Treats' twice a week—once on Monday, when the week begins and once on Friday, before the fetes begin. Some of it good, some of it bad, so I posted just the ones that I liked or thought worthy of your time. Enjoy!


Today is the 367th birthday of Sir Isaac Newton...Hat tip to the fans of Sir Isaac for reminding us!.


Photo Project 365…a photo a day from the ban-d-wagonist. Bandi does have an ‘eye’!


For food lovers, another mouth-watering recipe from the Caribbean Pot. This time we have breadfruit simmered with stew pork and coconut cream!


Looks like GWTO’s calls for song submissions (to help break the writer’s block) are being answered. Check out a bunch of good songs and read why people like them…cool stuff.


A couple passive-aggressive/hilarious WiFi moments!


Parang season ended on Sunday...and the steel drums that I love will begin soon, however this article is a great tribute to a form of music found here in TT that, like all other things, improves with the diverse cultures of our islands. What's your favorite parang instrument? Mine is the mandolin--what beautiful chords!


10,000 applicants to the UNC in one month? That seems exaggerated, no? An article for anyone who wants to examine details of UNC politics...


On the Hunt! Stealing people's dogs? $400 for agouti...everything about this story is outrageous. I think I'll stick to wild hog and tattoo...its cheaper. Like me! Tattooing phone numbers on your dog's ear? That also seems like a tricky thing to do!


Ansar Sattar, won the 2008 Animae Caribe award for Most Promising Newcomer. This guy is pretty funny. Where do I get some of his cartoons/comics?


At first I thought this was an article trying to recruit us to the military...then I realized that it meant to recruit us to exercise...I'm not sure which of the two is less likely...here are some tidbits for those of you who want to recover from X-mas and New Years indulgences.


Where were you for New Years? As far as I'm concerned, I'm STILL partying...just napping in between the fetes!


I think this little girl is going to grow up with fangs and scales...or at least a little weird. Shrugs...snakes are cool.
