Master Chief papercraft model

Blog Day 2007

Blog Day 2007

This blog has been neglected for too many days, and what better day to get back to blogging that Blog Day?

What is BlogDay?

BlogDay was created with the belief that bloggers should have one day dedicated to getting to know other bloggers from other countries and areas of interest. On that day Bloggers will recommend other blogs to their blog visitors.

With the goal explained above, here are the bogs I picked for this:

  • Del derecho y las normas, David Maeztu writes this blog about legal issues and his interpretation, focused on spanish law.

  • Techquila shots. Techquila Shots is about ideas and how things can be “improved” on the web, by Steve Poland

  • Loogic. Blog about internet business in spanish.

  • 120% Linux. Rants and news about Linux with the comments of outime.

  • Living in Japan Is a Blog about an English-speaking foreigner’s observations and explorations. (like Kirai )

Those are the recommendations of the day, I promise that the next Blog Day will be many more.
