- Robert Novak's take on his leak: To protect my own integrity and credibility, I would like to stress three points. First, I did not receive a planned leak.

- Anne Galloway has put together an interesting post on interdisciplinarity (specifically concerning sociology, anthropology and ubiquitous computing).
