Been a slow week for me, with a friend in from the US, but has anyone taken a look at Technorati since its makeover? As Kerim at Keywords noted, each time they change, they become more useless. Now they have achieved a state of almost total uselessness. Too bad.

Meanwhile, there's plenty of stuff captured in the blogs:

ESWN has a very interesting analysis of how a 1,000 phone bank could help a DPP candidate cheat in the primary.The alleged cheater's defense is given in a previous comment on the issue.

That's Impossible! notes that the prospects of a no-confidence vote in the Premier have risen since many in the DPP are tempted to call the PFP's bluff.

Thirsty Ghosts has an article on housewives learning to strip to spice up their marriages.

Josh Brown blogs on flattery -- "Wow! Your Chinese is soooooo good."

Feiren has an excellent commentary on Ma Ying-jeou's contemptuous dismissal of a foreign academic.

Rank describes yet another great bike ride.

Michael K. does some great shots of Jubei.

Why can't you speak Mandarin? The Foreigner finds out that it's in the genes.
