The other half of my brain, Scott, launched Chesterfield Daily yesterday. It’s the second community blog foray across the river and the first out into suburbia.
If you’ve ever wondered at the mysteriously shrouded things that happen beyond the impenetrable wall of fire that is the River, wonder no more!
If you happen to live out there, on “the south side,” send him some news stat.
This shall serve as formal notification to all members with posting privileges on the Haduken.com Front Page (hereafter: “Front Page”). Due to a recent bevy of offensive, opinionated articles posted by some of our members, all future articles must meet the following criteria:
Some examples of offending articles:
All articles that fail to meet all of these criteria will be removed without notice, or stripped of all offending content, depending on the (admittedly) transient whims of the editors. Remember, Haduken.com is an authoritative news and discussion site, not a personal or community blogging site, so it is important to be absolutely professional at all times.
Thank you for helping us make Haduken.com the one-stop shop on the web for laughs, friends, and - most importantly - fair, balanced, and sober analysis and commentary.
Signed,
The Haduken.com Satire Department

The time foretold by the prophets is finally here: haduken shirts. For a mere 10$ American you can sport the latest in intertron related apparel. The shirts will be white of tagless variety and screen printed (by our own nic) in black featuring the below design. Cost 10$ + shipping (if you need it mailed to you). All proceeds will go to recoup nic’s costs and pay hosting for Haduken.com
I am taking pre-orders at this point. Follow these instructions if you are interested:
Once we get an idea of how many shirts we need to make, I’ll set up some sort of online/offline payment system.
PBwiki is having a craaaazay special where if you blog about PBwiki they double your space for free. I mean who can pass that up, so here we go. What is this, how do you say, PeeBeewiki? First, read this if you need a refresher on wikis in general. PBwiki is a free hosted wiki that takes literally thirty seconds to set up. With someone else hosting the wiki for you you don’t have to install anything or — god forbid — think about linux, penguins, or hats that may be red.
PharrOut uses our PBwiki for all kinds of stuff. We put all of our Information Architecture documents up there: site maps, page description diagrams, design briefs. We have big lists of six month, two year, and five year goals. We copy paste word documents received from clients and put them up there. This lets everyone who works for us have easy access to whatever they may need.
So while I am writing this mainly to get the extra free space, I really can recommend PBwiki. I use it almost everyday. FORSERIOUZ.
Also, there is this (password: r0b0t5).

In an attempt to talk less about gay people and their various plights, here’s this thing. Slow news day maybe? I’m gonna tag some people at the bottom of this post, don’t feel required to respond…although you might have BAD LUCK FOREVERZ if you don’t.

The results are in: Chris Peace 50.83% to John Montgomery’s 48.39%! For those of you not in the know, one of my friends Chris Peace ran for the 97th District seat in House of Delegates and, just tonight, won.
First how cool is it that I know and hang out with a delegate? I mean Vanimal is cool and all, and I am sure one day he’ll be a delegate too, but first come first serve. Second, my company, PharrOut designed his website (linked above). It came out really well if I do say so myself.
So hurrah for things!

Welcome regulars and guests to Haduken’s first, and Virginia’s umpteenth Virginia Blog Carnival. The VBC offers “just a sample of the topics Virginia bloggers have been writing about during the week. We hope everyone’s curiosity will be piqued to read more of the selected posts, thereby giving more exposure to each participating blogger’s site.” See it’s like a celebration of Virginia bloggerism. Get stoked, because here we go.
From RiverCity Rapids, Snoopy extols the need for a downtown Richmond organizing committee. Here I’ll let him say it:
We need a new committee to work with the many diverse and disparate groups, people, and businesses to advocate their needs - and the overall need for the city to have a healthy downtown - to the city government. Little has been done in my mind or from what I see to indicate what we have now is adequate.
Roci at Rocianante’s Burdens doesn’t see the need to send 600M$ into space to explore Pluto. I think space exploration is awesome. If you can get as much bang for you buck out of this mission as you did with Galileo (RIP) then blast off!
Big Daddy Chad from Commonwealth Conservative submits a pretty funny caption content. My favorite: Passions in Canada were high on election eve.
SpankThatDonkey in his piece – voted longest VBC title ever – Last Donkey Gov to rebut Bush on State of the Union Speech said Hussein had WMD !!!! says that Tim Kaine will be the democrat of choice to call out “the Greatest Sitting Republican President since Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush.” SpankThatDonkey.com also has a nice picture of Miss Virginia winning the Miss America Swimsuit contest.
Anyone who exists around these parts is probably familiar with the anti-civil-union-slash-pro-family amendment that’s going around. Ben Kyber from Blue in VA brings to our attention an attempt made by Del. Sickles (D-43rd) to clear up the ballot question regarding the amendment. He also thinks “Republicans don’t really trust the people“. A good read.
An author, presumably Matt, from Matt’s Word, calls Harry Belafonte an outspoken anti-Bush blabbermouth.
Doug over at Below The Beltway brings up and goes off on a recent situation in NYC involving Kelo. With eminent domain being such a powerful yet unpopular political power I’m surprised to see politicians willing to use it. Doug also submitted another post here dealing with the evil empire Wal-Mart.
I had a professor in college who devoted an entire class at the end of the semester to answering any question his students asked of him. Any question that was not about Religion or Politics. Early Riser at Early Riser talks about both in his post Religion & Politics. The wikipedia article on Unitarian Universalism may or may not be helpful to those not familiar with the tradition.
Xyba(?) over at Once More Into the Breach posts a commentary on the Lobby Reform Act.
And there you have it folks. The umpteenth edition of the Virginia Blog Carnival. Take a quick look, before you go, at the ratio of political to non-political entries submitted. Also note one of Waldo’s founding ideas of the VBC: “It’d be a great way to get attention for lesser-known blogs, and for politically-minded people to discover the blog world outside of politics.” So lets work on that non-political bloggers!
