Land of Black Gold: Financials and Oil Investment

REVIEWED BY: Ms. Cairo

MY RECOMMENDATION: NO, inactive

AMAZON SUBSCRIPTION PAGE: Land of Black Gold

WEB ADDRESS: http://lobg2.blogspot.com/

BLOG DESCRIPTION: Speculations on oil, peak oil theory, energy in general, and the investment implications.

MY REVIEW: No point in bothering with this blog. It was very active in 2005, and the rate of updating dropped every year since then, until today, it hasn't been updated for 4 months. Too bad, it looked interesting.

Professional Pilot Logbook

REVIEWED BY: Ms. Cairo

MY RECOMMENDATION: Maybe. It seems to be active now (edit March 29, 2010)

AMAZON SUBSCRIPTION PAGE: Professional Pilot Log

WEB ADDRESS: http://www.blizzue.com/index.php

BLOG DESCRIPTION: Starting in the middle of 2005 and since chronicling the long journey from student pilot all the way to instructor pilot and perhaps some day soon, airline pilot.

MY REVIEW: This could have been a great blog, by Jared Dirkmaat. He kept it since May 2008, but he only published once a month. His last post on January 20 said that had gotten the job he had interviewed for, so he's probably been in intensive training for the last several weeks.

Foodiemama (Lifestyles & Culture)

REVIEW BY: Ann Currie

OUR RECOMMENDATION: YES

AMAZON SUBSCRIPTION PAGE: Foodiemama

WEB ADDRESS: http://foodiemama.com/

BLOG DESCRIPTION: Teaches you how to save money, streamline ingredients and save time and stress at dinnertime. Dinner becomes a breeze with Foodiemama.

MY REVIEW: A food blog, that lists easy family friendly recipes. Tips and advice are offered and each recipe is tagged with the "Feeding by Age" to help Moms and Dads) chose meals that will appeal to the kids. Each recipe has a short introduction and comment followed by the ingredients and directions which are clearly given. Entries are only posted every 7 or 8 days and 2 recipes are included in each post.

The recipes are ok, but the posts are infrequent. There is nothing unique or entertaining about the text. If you want a good basic Mom friendly food blog this is one of many.

Happy Kreg (Lifestyles & Culture)

REVIEWED BY: Ann Currie

MY RECOMMENDATION: No, unsuitable for Kindle

AMAZON SUBSCRIPTION PAGE: HappyKreg

WEB ADDRESS: http://www.happykreg.com

BLOG DESCRIPTION: The official HappyKreg world in blog form.

MY REVIEW: This blog is only updated every two weeks. The posts are random YouTube videos and pictures. There seems no rhyme or reason for this blog. I cannot recommend it.

Every Little Counts

REVIEWED BY: Ann Currie

MY RECOMMENDATION: YES

AMAZON SUBSCRIPTION PAGE: Every Little Counts

WEB ADDRESS: http://www.every-little-counts.blogspot.com/

BLOG DESCRIPTION: Every Little Counts is about love. This is a collection of my loves, obsessions, thoughts, memories, and influences, all of which inspire my clothing line "Every Little Counts".

MY REVIEW: Mainly written to accompany her web store by the same name that specializes in rather seductive sleep wear - the writer describes it best as being about young love, romance, and nostalgia. The posts, which are every other day or so, ramble easily from comments on old movies, complete with pictures, romantic quotes, and pictures of her modeling some of her new ware. Along the way, she comments about her life. The blog definitely stays with its theme. It is light and well done.

The blog is heavy on the photos and links to her on-line shop that are not accessible to the Kindle.
