noreply@blogger.com (Stephen Eli Harris) — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 14:52:00 +0000

The 'Blog of the Week' is back and for the week of Oct 18th to Oct 24th 2009, the blog of choice is 'Charlies Hash'. This blog from, well Charlie, is described as having 'Some thoughts on current events from the eastern tip of North America' and it's evident that there plenty of thought throughout on a variety of topics. It also boasts as having photos and graphics of a Newfoundland Nature and just scrolling down through, you can see them posted in nearly every article. Charlie gives us a great blog here and it's well worth the selection this week. Go check it out!

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up that the Blog of the Week will be postponed this week due to me going to visit family for Thanksgiving. It'll return at the same time next Sunday... and I soon will have some news about a new initiative I have planned so stay tuned for that.

In the meantime, while your waiting, please go visit all the wonderful new blogs I just added to the Roll.

Blog of the Week : 10/04 - 10/10 2009

noreply@blogger.com (Stephen Eli Harris) — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 15:19:00 +0000

The 'Blog of the Week' for the week of Oct 4th to Oct 10th 2009 is 'Doug Jones Photography', which is a photo blog from Doug; an amateur photographer based in St. John's, Newfoundland. Besides the beautiful pictures found throughout, the most intriguing thing to me about this site is that there is a new photo posted daily and it's been happening since New Years Eve 2008. The photos are all archived by month and all very lovely meaning this site is well worth the visit.

What are you waiting for? Scoot!

Blog of the Week : 09/27 - 10/03 2009

noreply@blogger.com (Stephen Eli Harris) — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 13:52:00 +0000

The 'Blog of the Week' for the week of Sept 27th to Oct 3rd 2009 is 'Rock Recipes', which is perhaps the only blog listed which will actually make your mouth water upon visiting. This space from Barry C. Parsons out of St. John's, who says he is a 'lifelong good obsessive', feature recipes (with pictures, mm, mmm) of traditional Newfoundland foods plus some of his own creations mixed throughout.

So, unless you're on some radical diet, I suggest you take a peek at what this blog offers! Go on, click the pic.

Blog of the Week : 09/20 - 09/26 2009

noreply@blogger.com (Stephen Eli Harris) — Sun, 20 Sep 2009 14:50:00 +0000

The 'Blog of the Week' for the week of Sept 20th to Sept 26th 2009 is 'I Found my Childhood on eBay'. This blog is one of the most unique on the roll with it's topic being things found on Ebay that, though remain unbought, serve as a reminder of the bloggers' childhood. It's fun to browse through the articles and pictures to see if there's anything familiar to your own lives, so why don't you hop on over and check it out.

Blog of the Week : 09/13 - 09/19 2009

noreply@blogger.com (Stephen Eli Harris) — Sun, 13 Sep 2009 15:18:00 +0000

The 'Blog of the Week' for the week of Sept 13th to Sept 19th 2009 is 'Illustrated Life'; a blog from practicing artist and Newfoundland resident Jeanette Jobson. The blog features a collection of posts which display her beautiful artwork and Jeanatte states in her about me section that here "first love is dry media, but oils and watercolours find their way into my hands as well". There is some very lovely art found here and for that, this blog is well worth a visit.

Blog of the Week : 09/06 - 09/12 2009

noreply@blogger.com (Stephen Eli Harris) — Sun, 06 Sep 2009 13:19:00 +0000

The 'Blog of the Week' for the week of Sept 6th to Sept 12th 2009 is 'Kayaking Dreaming'; a blog from Stan Mac Kenzie out of St. John's, Newfoundland. Stan states in his profile that 'Kayaking is my soul' and this blog is surely evident of that. His personal space features posts about his passion for kayaking and also for photography which for him come hand and hand with his main passion. It's a lovely little blog and well worth the visit!

Not Necessarily the Weakest Link...

noreply@blogger.com (Stephen Eli Harris) — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 23:10:00 +0000

...but Good Bye

It's been a very long time since I've done this, but it's a necessary job if one wants to keep a list of links fairly clean. The below list of links are members of the roll who haven't updated their blog in several months, in this case at all in the year 2009. It also has some dead links listed.

As always, if you own any of these blogs and wish to become part of the roll again, just contact me and I'll add it back right away. No problem. In fact, I hope you do bring them back.

So, here goes:

Blog of the Week : 08/30 - 09/05 2009

noreply@blogger.com (Stephen Eli Harris) — Sun, 30 Aug 2009 15:15:00 +0000

The 'Blog of the Week' for the week of Aug 30th to Sept 5th 2009 is 'Gas and Oil'. This is a slick blog from Greg Murphy out of St. John's and is one that you shouldn't let slip on by. With a non-crude simplistic blog design, George discusses gas and oil issues in our great province and with 8 years of research into petroleum, the discussions are informative.

Blog of the Week : 08/23 - 08/29 2009

noreply@blogger.com (Stephen Eli Harris) — Sun, 23 Aug 2009 18:33:00 +0000

The 'Blog of the Week' for the week of Aug 23rd to Aug 29th 2009 is 'NL Running'; a blog with a title that speaks for itself. With the Tele 10 only a few weeks gone by, I figured this was a great blog to feature this time around (though yes, it probably would have a better choice for the actual weekend of the big race) so that I could help highlight the running culture in the province. From what I hear, it's a pretty popular past time (or life time) for many in the province and today's featured blog helps connect those who are part of the craze or want to be, while being able to inform the non running community of their happeneings.

Blog of the Week : 08/16 - 08/22 2009

noreply@blogger.com (Stephen Eli Harris) — Sun, 16 Aug 2009 14:40:00 +0000

The 'Blog of the Week' for the week of Aug 16th to Aug 22nd 2009 is 'Missing the Rock'. This space from Nadine has a common theme to it for many people from our great province; missing home while being away. The blog itself features a variety of commentaries and thoughts on all things Newfoundland from an outside view with a sparkle of many other topics throughout. It's a lovely little blog and a great place to visit. ...

Blog of the Week : 08/09 - 08/15 2009

noreply@blogger.com (Stephen Eli Harris) — Sun, 09 Aug 2009 21:51:00 +0000

I cut it close, but I didn't miss the 'Blog of the Week' for the week of Aug 9th to Aug 15th 2009. The selection this time around is 'Lloyds Newfoundland Photos'. This is another wonderful photo blog, this time from the talented Lloyd C. Rees who shares his beautiful collection with us on a frequent basis. If you're into Newfoundland and Labrador scenery (and who isn't?!) then I highly suggest to take a peek at Lloyds space here.

So Sorry

noreply@blogger.com (Stephen Eli Harris) — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 19:50:00 +0000

Well, it appears that this Blog of the Week initiative is during into a bi-weekly thing. It's not intentional, believe me. As explained earlier, the summer seems to be making it tough to get this done on a Sunday. This particular weekend, I was away visiting family. Perhaps it's time to pick a different day of the week to get 'er done. Then again, I know that when fall and winter come, Sunday will be the opportune day once again.

My best advice is to bare with me!

Blog of the Week : 07/26 - 08/01 2009

noreply@blogger.com (Stephen Eli Harris) — Sun, 26 Jul 2009 14:02:00 +0000

After a 2 week hiatus, the 'Blog of the Week' is back and for the week of July 26th to Aug 1st 2009, the selection is "Doodlepalooza". This blog is not only a very new addition to the NL BlogRoll but is a fairly new addition to the blogosphere as well. This space from John Andrews began in November of 2008 and features a collection of doodles and prints from the talented artist with a sprinkle of commentary throughout. It's a great blog and another helpful reminder of how much artistic talent is in this province.

Neglected Newbies

noreply@blogger.com (Stephen Eli Harris) — Sat, 25 Jul 2009 13:26:00 +0000

It turns out that setting up a new email address for the blog roll to keep things organized kinda back fired. With new emails not coming to my main email address as a friendly reminder to myself, the addition of some new blogs have been neglected... until today. My apologies to those who have been waiting for a while to get this done.

Without any further delay, here are the newest additions:

Inkys Part of the Rock

I Am Back

noreply@blogger.com (Stephen Eli Harris) — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 20:25:00 +0000

Yeah, I know I promised a new blog selection for this past Sunday, but I underestimated what I'd have to do when I got back to town after being on the road for a week. I do promise to have a new one next week though... and I won't break this promise.

Gros Morne is absolutely beautiful by the way. Spectacular. If you've never been and you enjoy the outdoors, I definitely suggest you taking a trip. I'll post some pics when I get a chance.

ALSO, why in the H E DOUBLE HOCKEY STICKS, are we going to allow any power line to go through here. I could NOT beleive this news when I read it...

... more on that later.

I'll also add some new blogs to the roll this week... Stay tuned!

Vacation Time!

noreply@blogger.com (Stephen Eli Harris) — Sat, 11 Jul 2009 01:14:00 +0000

I just wanted to give any readers and roll members a heads up that I will not be near a PC on Sunday coming and thus will not be selecting a new Blog of the Week this week. The initiative will return on the following Sunday.

As for why, well it's because I'll be hitting the road early tomorrow heading to the west coast for a week of camping in beautiful Gros Morne National Park. I haven't been there since I was a wee lad and am really looking forward to seeing all that beauty once again. Maybe I'll share some pictures with you apon my arrival, should you be interested.

So, until next week, keep on rolling!

Blog of the Week : 07/05 - 07/11 2009

noreply@blogger.com (Stephen Eli Harris) — Sun, 05 Jul 2009 18:09:00 +0000

The 'Blog of the Week' for July 5th to July 11th 2009 is "Elfshot: Sticks and Stones". Like last weeks selection, this blog is a fairly new addition to the roll and a very welcome one. It's the first of it's kind (with it's kind being archeologically inclinded) to be added to the listing. Until Tim Rast and Elfshot came around, there was no blog representation for the archeology community in the province. While this space of Tims is more used as exposure for his wonderful home made crafts, it also features a varity of posts on the overall subject of archeology and craft making in general. A must visit for fellow enthusiests!

Blog of the Week : 06/28 - 07/04 2009

noreply@blogger.com (Stephen Eli Harris) — Sun, 28 Jun 2009 20:05:00 +0000

The 'Blog of the Week' for June 28th to July 4th 2009 is ''St. John's Real Estate Blog". This is a fairly new addition to our little community we have here but I don't believe it deserves any less attention, which is perhaps why it was selected this week. This blog from Stephen and Fraser Winters is a great place for those looking to jump into the market for a new home... or perhaps sell one. With a major focus on Real Estate as of late with regards to the world economic downturn and perhaps an influx of people coming to the province looking for a piece of that newly announced 10 billion in Oil money, this is just one of many sites that I'm sure folks will find interesting. So, why don't ya check it out?

Blog of the Week : 06/21 - 06/27 2009

noreply@blogger.com (Stephen Eli Harris) — Sun, 21 Jun 2009 16:04:00 +0000

The 'Blog of the Week' for June 21st to June 27th 2009 is ''Townie Bastard"; a blog from a fellow Newfoundlander who is now living in Nunavut. TownieBastard references himself as one of the "Godfathers of Nunavut blogging" as he's been blogging from (and living in) the northern territory for over 3 years now. This blog features a delightful package of northern discussions from a Newfoundlanders point of view and Newfoundland discussions from his point of view up north. It's a great blog and it's been around for quite some time now. If you haven't taken the time to check it out, now's a great chance!

noreply@blogger.com (Stephen Eli Harris) — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 00:05:00 +0000

To those who have been following the Blog of the Week initiative for the past couple months, I apologize for not updating the list these last couple weeks. The initiative will continue again next Sunday. Stay tuned!
