At the risk of causing all my faithful readers to roll their eyes and sigh and exclaim “Yes, we KNOW you like his blog,” I will also recommend HARD TO GRASP LIKE SCIENCE AND MATH IS and SEPTEMBER: THE NEW CRUELEST MONTH? at I’M ON YOUR COMPUTER. In case you missed them.
And finally, I love the folks at Feedburner. They even make announcements of service interruptions worth reading.
Now go out and play!
