    Upgrading
    

    I'll be upgrading Neural Gourmet in just a bit so you can expect the site to be intermittently wonky. Hang in there. This shouldn't take too long.

    Blog Against Theocracy Information
    

    The annual Blog Against Theocracy will be coming to a blog near you April 10th - 12th, 2009. This will be the third time bloggers from all over have banned together to celebrate separation of church and state. Blue Gal has posted some information and resources for bloggers interested in participating in this year's Blog Against Theocracy. Hopefully we can count on all of you to raise awareness of our first freedom. Please note that this blogswarm is not for criticism of religion, but, as Tengrain from Mock, Paper, Scissors put it, "a reminder that the Government should keep out of religion, and Religion should keep out of the government." 'Nuff said.

    The blogging President
    

    Barack Obama's campaign was the first Presidential campaign to truly embrace the internet. Now comes word that The Whitehouse has its own blog, complete with RSS feed. I'm sure the blog will be written by PR flacks, but at least this is a sign that the Obama administration is serious about taking the Presidency to the people. H/T: Lifehacker
