The Gazette launched two new blogs today: G.I. Joey is the (now much thinner) comedian Joey Elias’s blog about performing for troops in Afghanistan. More interesting is Journey to Canada, by a Rwandan journalism student here to cover the war-crimes trial of Désiré Munyaneza. Imagine someone eating pork for the first time, or being amazed by how cold it is here … in May!

Meanwhile, Roberto Rocha has returned from vacation and his Technocité blog is back up, and Peter Cooney’s Goal Posts soccer blog is the only one actually getting comments.
