As y’all have no doubt noticed, there has been a bit of spam making it through iPandora’s Akismet filters this last week.

This is an abbreviated static blogroll listing the many blogs I read each day now. I use the Google Reader to do my viewing and skim over 100 (possibly 200) articles each day (I love my job) and read the full contents of probably 20-30 articles throughout each day.

It’s been a little while since I became absorbed in a book. I really didn’t feel like blogging today.
It is indeed an good feeling to be pulled between the covers into the world of a well-crafted tale full of fantasy and adventure off in the wide, unfamiliar world… and then the phone rings… and I [...]
