I'm about to leave town to serve as part of a panel and attend a wedding, and won't be blogging until Monday night. In the meantime, read G on on the situation in Baghdad, Joe Gratz on a sparrow's plight, and Daily Kos on the Democratic Presidential candidates.

Also, my three votes in the new blog showcase: Datanerd, Vision: On, and Kuboid.The Smarter Cop is a back-up to those who lack working permalinks. Please note that this does not reflect my opinion of the content of these posts, but rather obscure notions of my own I cannot clearly articulate.
