I’ve been cluttering my Safari bookmarks bar with the following for a while. Some of them were even worth the wait. Digital Media Mistakes – Notes from the newspaper world on mistakes to avoid. Not incredibly useful for me, but right in touch with online-news. Slashdot review of a book I’d like to read someday:…

OK, well, an afternoon. A beautiful day all around, which I spent racing, napping (no link necessary!), and lounging on the beach in the sun.
