When I first saw the title of the next site to be reviewed, I was almost tempted to skip it and write a review for someone else. I was sure it was going to be a political diatribe about President Bush and his cohorts. I wasn’t really in the mood for reading that kind of site, however, upon reading the first paragraph of the site I found that this is a guy with a sarcastically cynical sense of humor — something rare indeed.

This site was highly hilarious, and completely funny. I couldn’t stop chuckling to myself when I read through almost all of the links within the site. Through all of the writings I was able to get a glimpse into whom the guy behind the words really is. He cares about many things, intelligence being one of them, and he shows his own without hiding behind the computer screen. He shares his nasty emails for each of us, giving us his own opinion to these emails as well. He is opinionated and strong-minded. Painfully real and honest. These are the kind of qualities that I think many people might find offensive, even though I found it all quite amusing.

As for the design of the site, this could use a little bit of work. Plain on the exterior, you’d almost assume that the quality of the writing would be a reflection of the quality of the design. The archives aren’t necessarily archives according to how most bloggers are used to seeing them, though they do take you to previously written stories, essays and other interesting things. There are a good number of popular outgoing links, however some of the scripting makes it a little difficult to find out what goes where, and why.

I was a little disappointed to find that there wasn’t an about me page, or somewhere else to get to know little things about the author that you can’t get from the writings. There isn’t any way to leave a comment, though he does provide an email address if you feel the need to write. There is only one poll, though funny, for readers to interact with the author.

His intelligence speaks for itself, and his sense of humor might be seen as rather dark or cynical. For the open-minded of the blogging bunch you might find him rather hilarious, as I did. His writing is not for the demure and quiet kind, though he speaks with real honesty and truth (as he knows it). I recommend this site to be read as entertainment rather than to be taken too seriously.WorldWarBush

With a name like Hi. I’m Black! There are a lot of instant stereotypes that come to mind about what the site could be. Some of them hold true, others do not. My biggest fear with this site is that it would have a lot of “More evidence how the white man is holding the black man down” type posts. Thankfully the author chose to not drown us with these posts.

The weblog itself is fairly well written. Most posts are thought out, and have a good point, be it something in the world as a whole or something in the author’s life. The author likes to link to a lot of different stories. There are quite a few number of “Black this” type stories or “White that” but as a whole, they work well with the other parts of the blog.

The design is inconsistent between the front page and the archives. While I like the simplicity behind the design on the archives, it is really missing a lot of what the site has to offer. Also the front page, which actually has a good design, seems to be lacking something. The picture of Michael Clark Duncan as The Kingpin from Daredevil doesn’t seem to add much to the site.

I really wish there was an about me or about the site section. I looked through all of the archives of the site, and while I could only get a slight preview as to what the goal of the site was I am not sure if I am correct. An about section would really help the reader understand not only the goal of the site, but where the author has been, and where the author is going. Some sites do well with out an about section, others require them. This is one that requires one.

Over all I found the site to be a good read. I am not sure if I am the target audience for this blog, but it has at least peaked my interest into keeping an eye on it to see where it will go. I hope the author will make the goals of the site more clear so that a vast array of readers will be able to understand an enjoy it.
