Blog in a nutshell

This blog has been known by several names, and is linked to on Infoshop as"Times of hate, times of joy", but all the names refer to the same blog written by the same person.

Lost News Seattle is the sister blog of this site, presenting straight, non-editorial, reporting of issues in the Seattle area.

Also check out the Neo-Romantic Manifesto (called such slightly tongue in cheek).
