I have been preoccupied all day. Here are a few things I rummaged through in passing.

• Kate’s letter of the day, Y, was up early today. Considering the yelping, yearghs, and yammer she has featured, a few Zs for relaxation would be in order.
• Baldilocks is exploring the usage of “African” and “American” together, citing disastrous results. (Hats off to James Joyner’s Beltway Traffic Jam)
• Matthew J. Stinson has given me a reason to dislike Moby a lot. Aside from his being a total wuss, his fringebaiting is making it hard for me to separate the art from the artist.
• Professor Chris Lawrence is examining DVD arbitrage.
• The Boi From Troy has a new home.
• Michael Demmons is giving away open-mic Sundays.

That’s it for now, dear friends. I’ll be sharing my Friday Five after Stargate SG-1.
