Trippy blog. I don’t think anyone would really understand this site unless there wasn’t an “about” page to explain and give background about who the writer is. Stand, the author is a paranoid schizophrenia and manic depressive guy living in the East Bay of California.



A lot of what he writes is sort of out of nowhere and doesn’t all quite make sense, but it’s nice that when he knows he’s not quite being clear, he’ll post later what was going on:



“Okay, I had another full-blown episode (if you couldn’t tell by my last post). The angels in my head got me to believe that I had been a part of the rapture, and that I was walking around in heaven, only it just looked like earth… So I was basically walking around naked for like an hour asking people if they had any spare clothes. Wild, huh?”



Stand tends to refer to God and other religious references in his writing and discuss episodes he has or about past experiences.



Layout is okay. He’ll post a photo once in a while and he has little photos along the side of his blog.



I prefer to read sites where the posts tend to make more sense and are more connected, but this site makes for an interesting read. H13.com – Once Madness Was Here

Internet Gossip. Does such a thing exist? Seriously everyone growing up remembers the he-said she-said rumors that always went around. Of course, we believed most of them even though we knew it was just gossip. Even today in our everyday lives we face gossip. So why wouldn’t it exist on the internet?



It does. Internet Gossip is a site for everyone with a weblog to read up on the gossip of the e/n scene. Gossip ranges from “Why People Buy Camgirls Stuff” to flat out insults and wars with big sites. The best way to describe IG is to think of a group of Jr. High kids who are very popular and have their noses in everything and have a disorder where they must talk every second of every minute. The posts are great. They are nothing short of entertaining to say the least.



The best part of Internet Gossip, to me, is that it is what the name of the site says it is. Gossip. Some of it is true, some of it is false. Some of it is made up for pure entertainment. But it is all gossip.



The design of the IG is very clean and simple. The back end uses a program called php-nuke to allow for registered users and comments and what not. There isn’t anything flashy about the design which is nice. Another bonus of IG is that even though it is a big site in the e/n world, there aren’t any annoying links-as-ads that I found. My guess is the reason for this is because the authors don’t care about making money off of their site, they just want to post the gossip.



Overall if you are looking for a new site to get hooked on, here is one for you. If you are bored and you have already read all of your news sites and you are sick of playing online games, check this site out. If you have read all of your weblogs and still are craving more, come to IG. You will not be let down.Internet Gossip

The first thing I read when I got to the site was a rotating quote that said, “D.A.M. – Mothers Against Dyslexia.” With that quote in mind, I was set for a fun time.



The page is very clean, neat and easy. Black background with white text. Simple two column layout with grey title bars across every section heading. The design is very elegant in a subtle way.



The weblog is about daily life sort of things that happen to Chris. Nothing over the top that I found, but then nothing painfully boring either. It reads like you are talking to a good buddy about the events of yesterday almost.



Though there is a cast of characters section, as far as I could tell it was just letting the readers know who Chris is talking about rather than a group log effort. I could be wrong, but I only saw posts from Chris.



Over all I think the readers will enjoy a laid back site with out all of the glamour that most weblogs are taking on these days. So just sit back, and read about a guy who you didn’t realize was a good friend of yours.i am 138.com

Enter the mind of Jon Harnish, an 18 year old with alot to say. His journal, which is currently located on geocities, is a simple yet effective web log indeed.



The design is quite simple and easily navigated. The site is called “Born Annoying” with a subtitle that says “a place of growing amounts of crap.” Atleast he’s honest and in my opinion this ‘crap’ isn’t nearly as ‘crappy’ as some other ‘crap’ I’ve read.



So I gave this web log a four. It’s simple, it’s nice, it’s Jon Harnish and his odd world.



If yah want something to read, this website works just fine. 😉Born Annoying

Nick’s got a nice site going here. The weblog is your basic weblog – updates about Nick’s life, various thoughts and opinions Nick has on what’s going on in the news.



Nick has a very nice conversational way of writing, which makes each post easy to read and understand.



The site design is nice. The frames ons some of the internal links on the site are a little off by not using the whole screen, but just some minor tweaking would fix those.



And no, the site isn’t about the author’s addiction and/or obsession with someone named Rachel. But, you’ll have to be the one to find out what it reall means by visiting the site.rachaddiction[dot]com
