WikiBlob (# 16 & #17)

Wikis are great. Wikipedia is great although their Blobfish entry is a little on the small side for such fascinating creatures: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blobfish.
Wikipedia will tell you anything about anything and most of it is true.
Incidentally, don't get Wikis mixed up with Kiwis, if you don't know the difference just consult the fountain of all knowledge!:

Blob 2.0

Well, after the disappointment of the election when the Blob party vote was wiped out by the Kevin 07 brigade I am now turning my attention to technology. I have been looking at Del.icio.us (#13) and Technorati (#14). And my blog posts should now be tagged to Technorati - except they arent because of system slowness and Technorati is timing out so the blogging world at large will still be missing out on the world of blobfish - for now. Delicious is probably good to use instead of the web browser bookmarks-if you get in the habit- wish it didn't have such an annoying name though, bit too clever-clever for us plain speaking blobfolk.
If you have been on the web for a while like most Blobs you will know a lot of this Web 2.0 (#15) has been around for a fair while, long before the 2.0 name came about, I suppose its a useful slogan (like Kevin 07 and "Working Families" but definately not like "Go for Growth") but I'm not sure exactly how much substance is behind it - you pick the stuff you like and use it just like you always have done on the Web. Still if it gets people thinking about using the Web for other stuff beyond E-Bay and Google thats good too.

Blobfish take over the world..

Blobfish don't read much, the pages get too wet, but almost without exception our favourite book is "The War with the Newts". This little know book written by a great visionary in the 1930's is about a little known sea animal lurking in the oceans which, by exploiting the complete stupidity of humanity slowly takes over the world. This idea resonates very deeply with us blobfish and we look forward to the day when we have a wonderful watery, salty world to play in, a world without the fishing industry! Or any industry at all for that matter. A great start to this is the increasing number of desalination plants being built on (currently) dry land across the world. By using huge amounts of energy to increase global warming these wonderful inventions are hastening the day when the antartic ice starts to melt, coastlines retreat and we blobfish have more room to roam. We blobs live in the Bass Strait between Victoria and Tasmania in Australia so we were particularly glad to see a new desalination plant being built on the Victorian coast near our own stamping ground, of course it's likely to harm the ecosystem around the coastline and harm populations of a few coastal dwelling sea creatures, but being deep sea bottom dwellers far from shore we don't really care about those wimpy "coasties" anyway so thank you Mr. Bracks and Mr. Brumby - bring it on!
