New Week, New Launches

By Jeremy Wright

While some might think our goal here at b5 is to repopulate the planet with blogs, the truth is that we merely suffer from a rare for of Tourettes whereby we launch new blogs in completely inappropriate ways.

This week’s blog launches are smaller than last (few!), here’s the lineup for the week!

IBM Eye: Our newest b5 technology blog is going live today. I’d like to introduce every one to Sim’ (rhymes wth time) Hampel, a new b5 blogger who is writing IBM Eye. As an Australian IBM employee primarily working on Lotus, IBM Workplace and the WebSphere Portal, Sim’ has the inside scoop in what IBM is doing and can get it out to the world fast! IBM Eye will cover Big Blue as a whole, but focus primarily on news, rumours and information about IBM.

Veggie Chic: Our little blog dynamo, Rhys Alexander, has decided to go hardcore into the vegetarian (and beyond) lifestyle. Veggie Chic is a journal of sorts into her lifestyle change.

In addition, we’re launching our two final entertainment blogs likely for the year:

CSI Fanatic: I’m a huge fan of CSI, particularly the original and Miami. This blog explores all 3 of the series (and the rumored 4th one) in a fair amount of depth, including letting you know what’s on each week, new product launches and plot exploration.

VH1 Reality World: In combination with MTV Reality World, this blog covers all of the weird and wacky shows on VH1.
