Martin has been tinkering with his page banner, adding some spiffy photos to spruce up his site. A few weeks ago he had a nice highway shot that I believe he indicated was taken by his daugher. But the big question is: who’s the young lady with the legs in morning’s pic? And is there something about his trip to New York we haven’t heard about yet?

LT Smash is still deployed: and still thinking. Check out his piece on the Icons of the modern world.

Tiger has done it again, and the complete crop of entries for this week’s Showcase. Thanks to Tiger — now go reward him for being such a good blog-citizen and check out the rest of his stuff.

On the Blogosphere social circuit, we should all wish a Happy Birthday to Mr. Treacher — and congratulate Kate (and Mr. Kate) for their hard work on continuing the species thing.

L.T. Smash has thoughts on With America.

Tiger over at and Rantin’ has posted a comprehensive review of Showcase entries for this week. Recommended reading, especially if you’re too lazy to read them all yourself!

I had the pleasure of participating in an online Blogger Symposium On The Media & The Blogosphere with Juan Gato, Volokh, and Susanna Cornett hosted by John Hawkins. Check it out over at John’s place.

guy has a severe attitude problem — particularly here, and here. I think I kind of like it.

Another vote: she’s already hit the big-time (having attained Large Mammal status), but I do rather like Venomous Kate’s Warnings About My Blog”

Okay, I’ve got my first vote in the Weblog Showcase. I’ve found a number of neat items at Tony S’s Technically Speaking., including a report that scientists believe it is now possible to wipe out mosquitos worldwide (but should they?) and a claim that websites are less likely to crash on the days that the IT department stays home (no sourcing on that one, though: might want to add a link there, Tony). And oh yeah: his submission for the week’s contest: he wants to build a media PC.

On this Memorial Day, “thank you” seems a deeply inadequate phrase to express the debt I and we all owe to the men and women of our armed forces who have given their lives in service of this nation. While enjoying the extra day away from work, I urge everyone to at least take a moment — local time is recommended — to consider those who have fallen, and the great, imperfect, glorious, flawed and free nation for which they gave their lives.

Martin Devon has on how the web might play in the 2004 elections, and he’s even graded the Democratic candidates’ web sites.

Damian Penny reports that has been liberated from Blogger.

I have no idea whatever possessed Meryl to summarize the recent flap between herself, several others, and Aziz Poonawalla such a bizarre manner, but I’m glad she did. Whether you’re in the mood for a serious debrief on a serious issue, or for a laugh, read it. It has it all!

Carnival #31 is up at Kitchen Cabinet.

Happy Blogoversary, Meryl!

Cool. Martin has put together scorecard showing all the Iraqi most-wanted playing cards, with the captured ones x’d out.

Blogcritics has got a brand new site design — check out new set of threads…

And another: Kevin Drum is the latest to yield to the MT juggernaut. So go crash the housewarming party at new Calpundit.

Lair finally drank the cool-aid and has made the leap to Moveable Type! As is often the case with such things, he has a new url, so go check out new Amish Tech Support.
