Meat Samer

We've been lobbying for some time for Samer to start blogging again. Yeah, sure, the picture thing is OK, I guess, but anybody can take nice pictures (or act).

Well, our prayers have been answered. And it is a classic case of be careful what you wish for.

Samer is blogging not about Apple, not about GPS, not about the situation in the Middle East, not about Iceland, not about beer.

Samer is blogging about meat.

Not that he isn't a world authority, mind you. It's just that nearly half of the peeps population doesn't even eat meat, so it's kind of a throw down.

And, since the other twin peep is an established food writer -- it's kind of a throw down.

We might just start blogging about redheads. So there.

Who to root for. Decisions, decisions.

For infrequent readers Bob blogs about the Oddly Enough news category he also edits, and the "Good, Bad and Ugly" section, which deals with reader feedback

Nicole, Blog Star

Nicole has been invited to join the Blogburst network, which syndicates bloggers to MSM. So cucinanicola will be available to thousands of Internet news sites, including -- and here's a neat twist -- her old workplace, Reuters.

Reuters has invested $7 million in Blogspot's company, Pluck, as part of it's strategy to expand its presence in social media
