Ⅰ just stumbled across this quote by verstegan (here):
You’re not alone. Ⅰ think a lot of PhD students, particularly in the humanities, have difficulty keeping track of everything they read: Ⅰ certainly did. And it’s a good sign. One of the best pieces of advice Ⅰ was given by my dissertation supervisor was to ‚read promiscuously‘, as much as possible and as widely as possible, and not just within my own specialised field of research. Some of the books Ⅰ read in my first few years as a graduate student have gone on influencing my thinking and writing ever since. And Ⅰ realise now what Ⅰ didn’t fully realise then: that the freedom to read promiscuously is a rare privilege. Make the most of it while you can; you may not have another opportunity.
Today (this sounds like Ⅰ was posting to this blog in a regular mode…) Ⅰ would like to present you a blog from by blogroll: Jonathan’s Coffeeblog. A fellow coffee-lover Jon is, but it seems he has many other interests as well, especially comics. And, incidentally Ⅰ also have re-discovered an app that came bundled with my Mac: ComicLife. Ⅰ assume that is what Jon uses as well, but see for yourself, his style is stunning, clever and just fun to read:
And speaking of style: his blog’s design is interesting,. Definitely not as boring as my „off the shelf don’t have the time to redesign“-K2 theme. And if you like the curious, mind-expanding look at things close to everyday life (like „what is bright coffee?„), or some exciting piece of history that you never knew anyone would be telling you… (like Hulagu’s exit strategy).
Go, check it out, not only if you like coffee, but especially if you like to be surprised and entertained while being educated as well 
Times have changed, it seems. Tango has reached the blogosphere, much more than when Ⅰ started this blog, it seems ages ago. Ⅰ haven’t really had the chance to keep up with the developments, as you might have noticed if you took a look at the archives: my tango blogging was sparse the last year or even longer. So was my dancing.
Here’s a list of current (2007–07) tango blogs: (probably not really complete, unrated and uncensored)
in english
in italian
in german
in french
Michale Yurechko posted this list of „Where To Watch For Live WWDC ‘07 Updates„. Are you excited, too?
