The UN, Notes on Blogging and Mailing Things to Myself
Just checked the UN blog for any interesting or mock-able posts, and found that they have already become an echo chamber for the usual suspects in the mainstream press: Bad news in Iraq-UN does good deed. How unique. It could even become counter-productive for them. The more they toot their own horn the less inclined the press may be to repeat it. Let's hope so.
Via Instapundit I found a NY Times article by David Greenberg about his guest blogging experience at Daniel Drezner's joint. To have a writer of his stature bitch that he's not cut out for blogging makes me feel just a mite better about my itinerant effort here. It's better than feeling lazy, which is what I really am most of the time.
I've given myself another week or two in the States before I return to CR. This is mainly because I found there's a lot more crap to deal with than previously thought. The mail-forwarding thing is most problematic. If I were sending stuff to Korea, Vietnam or the Philippines there's a dozen or more places in my own neighborhood. As it turns out, Miami is the jump off point to CR, which means I have to relay my stuff from California to Florida first. It's all about getting the paperwork right for customs and using the right people so you don't lose your stuff at the gate.
These last three paragraphs could have been three different blog entries now that I look at them. Just imagine them as such and I'm working three times as hard. Peace out.
