What is Dreg Blog?

dreg (dreg) n. A small amount; a residue.

There are millions of web sites and blogs and articles and pictures and other interesting information out there on the Internet - way too much for even the most avid surfer to surf.

DREG BLOG brings you a small, yet insightful, sampling of all that is out there - a residue, if you will, of the morass of information at your fingertips. But it is not just any old sampling. It is a compilation of what we find interesting or intriguing or humorous or touching or educational in that morass.

In short, it is STUFF YOU SHOULD READ. At times we will add our own musings, observations and thoughts.

The information is grouped in categories:

SPORTS (S)
POLITICS AND WORLD EVENTS (PWE)
ENTERTAINMENT (ENT)
CULTURE, HEALTH AND LIFESTYLE (CHL)
BUSINESS AND FINANCE (BF)
SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENT (STE)
EVERYTHING ELSE (MISC)

We hope reading DREG BLOG will entertain you and keep you more informed. Enjoy.
