Peer to Peer Review Project

I'm supposed to review this blog for the Peer to Peer Review Project. However, as you'll see, there's not much there to review. The last -- and lone -- entry was posted on Feb. 21.

Because I was looking forward to particpating in this project, I was more than a little disappointed that I have very little to work with. Rasmus gave me the option of not doing it. He also said I could wait and see if someone dropped out and I could pick up that review. Since option two didn't materialize, I'm opting to review this blog, such as it is.

Let me start by saying I was slightly annoyed by the fact that the author, Irv, didn't even give the correct URL when he submitted his site. Then, when I finally get there, I find out there's only one entry. It's not as if he hasn't been there since he submitted to the project. At sometime or another he changed the name of the blog from "On Women and other creatures" to "Ordinary."

After reading his entry, I'm annoyed for another reason. Of course it's hard to judge by only one entry (have I mentioned that yet? *s*), but from what I can tell, this blog had/has the potential to be very interesting. I don't remember the last time 24 lines touched me that much. That one entry, those 24 little lines, packed more of a punch than some blogs do in 24 days worth of entries. I'm annoyed because I wanted more but there wasn't any.

I don't know what happened to Irv and why he abandoned his blog, but I hope he comes back soon. If he does, I'm sure I'll be a regular reader.
