New Member -- Cafe Grendel

It gives me great pleasure to welcome "Grendel" of Cafe Grendel as a new member in Blogpower. He delivers all you ever wanted to know about coffee and may I quote: The real Black Gold comes from Beans, not Barrels, and lubricates Minds not Motors. If you are not familiar with his site please go over and explore and introduce yourself in the comment section.

His site has now been added to the blogroll and I am sure he will be displaying it along with the BP banner very shortly, as a fully fledged member.

I hope there will be no confusion between the two Grendels, our new one features quotation marks and the other is simply Grendel. Well it will keep us on our toes.

Cafe Grendel

We have a new application for membership from a blog called Cafe Grendel. Yes another Grendel. He found us by googling Grendel, expecting to find only himself, but no he found our Grendel too and in following that up found Blogpower. He describes his blog as: Coffee Flavoured Commentary; the Politics of Coffee; Coffee and Technology and Coffee and Religion. Yes he is a coffee aficionado but there is more than that. He's a fellow Aussie from Perth.

Please take a look at Cafe Grendel and make your feelings known in the comment section here. Any objection will move the discussion and voting to the mailing list, with comments subsequently being closed here. The seventy two hour countdown begins at Friday 1800 UK time and ends Monday 1800 UK time.

Globus Blogus

We have a new application for membership from a blog called Globus Blogus. He describes himself in his header as an addict; of fine wines, fine fillies and fine expletives. He does indeed seem rather fond of the f- word.

Update: There has been an objection, the comments are now closed and the discussion moves to the mailing list.

A Half Century

Someone in Blogpower is celebrating a big milestone on April 10th and he's having a very big birthday bash this weekend. Because I'm in a different time zone this will be a bit late, but please go wish a very happy birthday to Shades of Grey. He's even Warholized himself in celebration.
