Hi, everyone. This has been some kind of term, and it’s been capped with a family medical emergency that has just consumed all of my time. I am hoping that the downtime that comes this time of year will get me back on a schedule to amp my blogging back up. I have lots of reasons to keep doing it, but time has not been my friend of late. So, a couple of bookmarks:

• Wonder what the deal looks like? And what does this portend for the future of online “journalism?” — Apple Rumor Site to Shut Down in Settlement

• When Microsoft can’t outwait an institution that has no financial resources to bleed away:
  Microsoft Signs Open-Source Deal — pdf

• And then, there are the professional bloggers — N.C.A.A. to Bloggers: Too Many Posts and You’re Out!

Hope you get some time to decompress yourselves!!
