Confederacy of Dunces USA

Welcome to the confederacy of dunces usa. This blog is inspired by the effects of Hurricane Katrina on New Orleans and the Gulf Coast USA and named after the novel A Confederacy of Dunces by New Orleans native John Kennedy Toole. Certainly the disaster response efforts have been led by the dunces....

Link Think New Orleans and basketball

I had all my hopes on the Lady Tigers after the men were trounced by UCLA this weekend. Then what did the Ladies do but go down in a similar fashion, never getting into the rhythm of the game and with low ball possession by their intended high scorer. Next year, next year. It should be a good one for the men since they have such a young team, as long as they don't go pro prematurely.

If you haven't already check out the Link Think New Orleans blog. Its good to know I'm not the only one mystified by what a trackback is, and releived that its all Blogger's fault for not supporting them instead of my technological illiteracy at play. There is some good discussion here about the need for bloggers to link to each other and reference each other to keep the momentum and interest up on New Olreans blogging. Also you can learn about things like trackbacks and Technorati search - that one I do use.

There are many good bloggers who have already been tagged by this virus, so as I pick two to mention I am going to go with Looka, who has amused me with his ongoing "food porn" and provided timely updates on the fate of some favorite establishments such as Mandina's and Liuzza's in the days after Katrina. Also I will mention da Po'Boy for many good posts that frequently reflect my own thinking on Katrina, New Orleans, and the insanity of life. Good luck bloggers and keep posting.

Thanks for the reference. It's nice to see people linking to each other.

I'm so bogged down in technical support and server administration, I can barely follow how this project has spread.

If you know anyone who is going to start blogging soon, by the way, tell them they should go to wordpress.com.

I've added you to my reader. Cheers.
