I just spent the last three hours reading Hugh Hewitt's book Blog while my daughter played Zoo Tycoon (great game, by the way, though I wish it allowed more control over financial matters, like Roller Coaster Tycoon does - I've gotten used to her sicking the dinosaurs on the customers).
I just went and got all those links above and lost my train of thought, though I did find a site celebrating Friedrich Schiller, Schillerjahr 2005 - this is the 200th anniversary of his death - via Jarvis' German links (and Ein Blog).
You know how good my promises are, but I'll try to post something - at Bourgeois Philistine, where I plan to do all discussions of art - on Schiller and why you schould care about him.
