The big news around here is that the deli on 15th and East Hennepin, just two short blocks from my house (I live in a part of town with “short blocks” and “long blocks”) is finally open. I saw not only the glowing neon letters saying “OPEN” yesterday but also actual people sitting in there and eating. Today, I plan to stop in for lunch to see what’s up. That this is one of the more exciting things in my life at the moment is some sort of commentary on my life, or lack thereof.
And for links today, it’s pretty slim pickings. I’m not sure why, but news stories aren’t catching my eye. But I’ve written a lot of stuff this morning, and I’m relatively satisfied with the update. Hope you are, too. If not, hey, there’s always tomorrow.
- I don’t have a lot of comment on the shooting in Red Lake except to note that further restrictions on guns would have made no difference in this case. The shooter killed his grandpa, who was a cop, and then took his service weapons, body armor, and police car to drive to the school to commit more murders.
- I’ve got an essay describing how I’m trying to solve the problem with blogrolls. I don’t think it’s a perfect answer, but it’s the result of almost a full week of letting ideas rattle around in my skull, so it’s probably the best I’m going to come up with for now. The solution is the Worth Reading thing over there on the right. I plan to update it periodically, and there’s an archive.
- Zeldman asks Should your blog have a business? I have no idea what kind of business would come out of trying to scratch an itch for my readers, but it probably wouldn’t be as cool as Jewelboxing. [zeldman]
