- James Governor has some cogent thoughts and links on where the music business might be headed - and I think he's right. Just go read it. |

- A girlwoman like me does not live by the separation of church and state alone. Sometimes hours go by without my poking around to find out what's happening in the Church. And I haven't even blogged about the cats of Bly either. Yet. Their names are Maud, Galway, and Lucy, by the way. |

- If you hear a lot of slang or use it you probably know the term McJob. According to the Urban Dictionary, a McJob is "Any menial, low-paying, unskilled, dead-end job, including (but not limited to) those in the fast food industry, which requires zero creative or intellectual involvement, and whose sole motivation is a paycheck (i.e., no one works a McJob because they like it or care about the |

- I've been researching all kinds of things I burn to blog about, and boy are my fingers tired. So this is short ? but about something worth noting. The first edition of the King James Version of the Bible (in English) was published on this day in 1611. This was a revolutionary act. |

- This week a rather funny picture surfaced during my web meanderings. I think the first place I saw it was on Bifurcated Rivets: Eclectica for Epopts, a blog from Lindsay Marshall who is a senior lecturer in the School of Computing Science at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne in the UK. What the heck is an epopt? I didn't know... |

- I love tacky religious things. Truth be told I also love Whoopee? cushions and lots of other silly non-religious things that people seem to find distasteful or stupid. But it is a particular joy to laugh at bad versions of things which reference what one loves best. Laughter is Sudden Glory. |

- Sonnet 73:That time of year thou mayst in me behold ? William Shakespeare (1609)That time of year thou mayst in me behold When yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang Upon those boughs which shake against the cold, Bare ruined choirs, where late the sweet birds sang. In me thou see'st the twilight of such day As after sunset fadeth in the west; Which by and by black night doth take away, Death's |

- Elijah Bly Arougheti, born to my precious step-daughter Nelly Bly and her lovely husband Mike Arougheti, entered this world on February 26, 2005. Behold the child (pictured at about one week old): Aside from the fact that my husband Bill and I are both far too young and kicky to be grandparents, we are completely thrilled by this most hoped-for development. He has been presented with things from |

- Sheyoot. I spent hours today trying to learn how to do things in HTML and CSS... By the time I figured out what I needed to figure out my brain had oozed out my ears making a proper blog entry today impossible to contemplate. But I can't help posting a link to a strange (and, perhaps, highly inappropriate) purchasable item I ran into during my daily web meanderings. Click under the fine medieval |

- Reading about all the developments, as well as the lack of developments, in the Anglican and Episcopal church world lately can be both distressing and tiresome ? but it's always interesting. Instead of committing my thoughts on the various matters besetting the Church to screen I was moved to act pictorially... the picture you see before you now. No, I didn't weave and stitch my own version of |

- There is a lot of stuff going on in the Episcopal Church (the American church ? known as ECUSA. PECUSA, or DFMS ? take your pick). I am loath to comment on these mostly unsettling and painful matters although I certainly have my opinions. |

|
- I have way too much time on my hands. Instead of attempting to write a Great American Novel or a Great American Already-Been-Done I use up my time in fairly worthless pursuits. Go ahead ? envy me. I'm used to it. |

|
- I've been waiting to see if something that's been bothering me would go away. It hasn't ? so I'm going to attempt writing it out of my system. This last week or more has been a time of big endings and big beginnings. The death of a Pope, the choice of a new one. |

- First blythering from this woman named Bly... but[t] first, why blog? Why join the babbling hordes in this new global Tower of Babel? Well, why not. My estimable Spousal Unit, Bill, loves to tell a story about one of his old writing teachers who upon reading Bill's work said, "Mr. |

- The PS2 and XBox are more ubiquitous, in some places, than cable or satellite TV boxes. Do you think Bill Gates is going to let that little fact slide? In a conference aimed at business journalists, Gates described the new XBox as more than a gaming system—it'll be a media center. It's a PC, it sits in your living room, and it has a broadband connection. |

- Why did computers come to adopt the GUI as their primary mode of interaction, and how did the GUI evolve to be the way it is today? |
