Week of 3/26 thru 4/1/06
Great and relaxing afternoon in Manhattan; a few snapshots to follow, probably tomorrow. Way too mellow to want to do anything much beyond look at Liberal Coalition members' posts that I liked from this past week:
• Andante at Collective Sigh examines options for retraining workers, particularly in the economically sucky manufacturing sector.
• This past week was National Sleep Awareness Week - hope you tuned into Bora's Circadiana for some choice posts!
• I loved Bryant's April Fool's post - the musical version of Make Me A Commentator!!, complete with the entire cast of the blog!
• Echidne of the Snakes tries to come to terms with her grief over losing her beloved canine companion, and notes a weird trend in the news about celebrities giving birth.
• Horatio at Dodecahedron notices a bit of current slang that I haven't heard at all yet, but then I'm fairly well out of touch...
• Jeff at Speedkill lives up to his blog's name by inviting us to take a brain speed test. Warning: Chances are you'll need to update Shockwave first, which means you'll have to close all your browser windows so it installs correctly and I wasn't prepared to do that. I'm sure it's a fine test.
• Jude at Iddybud has a must-read post up about poverty.
• Keith at Invisible Library recommends we keep our eyes on Georgia as the next battleground Bible-thumping state.
• Maru at WTF Is It Now?? reports on the newest archaeological find, Ajax's palace, and the latest must-read tome, The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster (which, you know, they should use as a textbook in Georgia, I think).
• Steve Gilliard deals with his kitchen being remodeled. I guess we lucked out, nothing in our apartment really needed much updating when we rented it, and we've made minor alterations (like replacing blinds and putting up curtains) ourselves.
Lastly, I wanted to note that Steve also has a very good post today about the Cynthia McKinney matter, which I didn't want to wait until next week to plug.
