Blog-blog Cerrado
Stumbled upon a couple of Filipino-American blogs worth checking out. There’s Robert Garcia Tagorda’s Boomshock, a blog about politics and baseball. Then there’s The Dubious Biologist, a Salon-hosted blog by BJ De La Cruz, who happens to be, you guessed it, a biologist. He’s also a Macintosh fanatic.
I discovered BJ’s blog quite by accident. Around June and July of this year, I saw a spike in hits from searches on “Filipino Biologist/Physicist.” I never blogged about any such person but my June 2003 archive page does contain the words “Filipino”, “Biologist” and “Physicist.” Out of curiosity, I checked the search engine results and I find a link to one of BJ’s entries where he urges the “person who is still doing the “filipino biologist” search on Google and Yahoo” to stop already. Heh-heh, I could just imagine how much traffic this guy was getting.
Since all search queries originated from the Philippines, and June was the beginning of the schoolyear, I suspect some college professor was giving out assignments to research Filipino biologists or physicists. Or maybe there was some sort of breakthrough in the Philippine scientific field like this discovery of a new parasitic fungus by a Pinay biologist. Who knows?
Update: BJ de la Cruz moved his site here.
