Signal 94 – WOW

Our choice this week for the Weblog of the Week (WOW) is Signal 94. Sig94 is a retired Police Lieutenant, currently serving as a law enforcement contractor in Central New York State.

Sig94 blogs about: idiots, law enforcement, celebrities, justice, carbon offsets, global warming, Australia, gun control, Israel, terrorists, Al Gore, scams, culture, lifestyle, Alexander Litvinenko, KGB, poison, polonium-120, and Vladimir Putin. Now that lineup is not only very entertaining, but aligns with core beliefs of good conservative Americans. A particularly good example is a recent article called Fatwa Free For All where Sig94 offers colorful commentary about some of the more eccentric rituals of Islam.

We’re glad to nominate Signal 94 as our pick for Weblog of the Week. Sig94’s link will hitchhike with our Never Forget Tribute for the week.

Wake Up America — WOW

wowThis week’s pick for Weblog of the Week (WOW) is Wake Up America. This is a very popular blog with great articles on a variety of topics, many of which are pro-military and pro-freedom. We enjoy reading Wake Up America and are happy to place their link in the Never Forget tribute for this week.

Iraq War Today — WOW

Our selection for Weblog of the Week this week is Iraq War Today. IWT is always a good place to go for a military-oriented perspective on current news. Pam has a feature where she offers her “Two Cents Worth” on varying topics which is always interesting. We’re glad to feature Iraq War Today as our Weblog of the Week.

Widget Work

Last week, I saw a poster at Sharp as a Marble that inspired me to tackle a new sidebar widget project for our blog. It is a work-in-progress at this point, and I hope that I can get some suggestions and advice from those of you with an interest in this.

The idea is to pose the question of how you are prepared to cope with ever-increasing violence in suburban areas in light of the ever-decreasing police coverage and, of course, the constant attacks on your Second Amendment rights. We previously posted an article about how the police are spread too thin to protect everyone.

So have at it. Don’t hesitate to criticize what you see because it’s still an unfinished product. Consider what story you would like to tell with it and suggest away. As an extra incentive, I am willing to provide the resulting sidebar widget to anyone who is willing to help out.

The resulting product will be a Flash™ animated widget that fits in the sidebar or just about anywhere else on your web page. You can use the raw file or I will provide scripting to make it compatible with most browsers.

Update: By the way, if you don’t want to register for comments on this post, you may also email me at capnbob (‘at’) capnbob (‘decimal-point’) us, or use the secure feedback feature.
