Blogroll Roundup

I've thought of doing this a few times in the past, but always ended up running into time constraints. And, as always, when push comes to shove, writing takes priority. Today, I find myself with an unexpected bit of time. I've already written an entry for today. I may yet do another. The point is, I'm free to goof off a bit.

But since I have the time to do this and the blogging in my own neighborhood has been interesting today, I'm going to do a blogroll roundup for today as of about 5:30 p.m. my time. To keep it simple, I'm restricting myself to entries written (in English) today and to bloggers who reciprocal link.

Phatic Communion

Yours Truly

Well, that's a wrap! Lots of good stuff in the neighborhood. In the "promote your alliances meets shameless self-promotion" department, I'll note that I posted the latest entries in both group blogs I participate in. Over at Ultraquiet No More, I talk about Submarine Life Down Under. At The Egosphere, I bemoan today's horrendous Supreme Court decision.
