Risin' with the birds

Woke up at 6:30 on a Saturday morning, how silly is that? Anyway I got to reading this article in the morning, which was pretty interesting. Obviously I'm happy that technology is giving people joy and more creative outlets in Iraq, hell they need a break. Additionally, I think information should be ubiquitous, ideas and opinions should be freely exchanged. Hell, I work for a BI company so that goes hand in hand.

I wonder though, if you could put a marketing spin on anything to do with a blog, or if this guy's writings are really that good. It would make interesting reading though, as the diary went from 'Monday, got up, had coffee, prayed, ate breakfast' to 'Friday, May God help us, the bombs are raining down all around, the anti-aircraft flak lights up the night sky, and there are special forces in the village'. Interesting transition. I wonder whether the web log is truly well-written, thought provoking material or whether it's simply the content matter that people find so scintillating. War is so fucking thrilling after all, right? It's like a free movie every night when you come home from work.
