Well I haven't used my site on Blogger since it's inception in 2003. Almost 3 years later I am posting here after a few months of non-activity on the regular site (LatinoPundit), which was updated daily - sometimes even a few times a day - but due to a combination of technical difficulties and blogger burnout I stopped. Yes, even a labor of love can seem to turn into a chore if one is not

Well this is not good news: "The American Cancer Society report released in the Bronx yesterday says Latinos are hit harder by stomach, liver and cervical cancers and are less likely to take preventive measures, such as screenings."

I don't know. I am not crazy about my first draft for a new web page: LatinoPundit. I did like it but, it just does not have that "umf," to it. I really liked the banner when I first did it...now it is...ehhh, okay. No "umf." I have to revist it and give it more thought.

"There has been a great deal of angry debate over the new law signed by California's governor allowing undocumented immigrants in that state the right to have drivers' licenses.

Because I work in IT, some days can be classified not as a day at the office but, a night at the office. For obvious reasons I took the express bus instead of the train-any later, it would have been a cab.

It is interesting to see that Latino issues here in USA, have reverbrated to other countires namely, Switzerland. Further, it is even more interesting that issues of race were also included with such news: While the Latino troops say they are proud to have toppled Saddam, they do not show the unflinching patriotism to the United States of their non-Latino comrades.

There is a whole mess of Blogs proliferating in the Blogosphere that is taking up the subject of what it means to be black, and what it means to be white. Socialology is the direction of the conversation and not the biology of race. I am not hearing what needs to be said though on the part of "black," and "brown," bloggers.

Ok, I had just enough of "Blogger," that I can take. Yesterday, I couldn't post for hours, and the day before that they were down as well.

Google Search: latino blog Someone out there is watching because I just posted this yesterday and stated how "Howard Dean," came up as the first entry for this search. Today it is Latino Forum Blog. No, realistically I put the search string in and then clicked the latino forum "hit," one or two times more than the Dean, site. That folks has bumped them up. Seems like there are not too many

This article addresses Latinos and advises them that because we are now the largest minority group we still shouldn't forget that we have a long way ahead of us.
