Blogroll Updated.

Finally.

As I've noted before, I'm coming up on the fourth anniversary of TSM, and I thought it was about time I updated my blogroll. First I went through and pulled any site that hadn't updated in the last six months, or any site I had as a reciprocal blog where a link to me no longer existed. Any site that came back as something commercial or "404 Not Found" was pruned, so if your site disappeared due to a temporary server problem, let me know.

For a medium in which so many people start out, but then peter off, I was quite surprised how many of my links are still active and healthy.

Then I went back and added some bloggers that I've admired but just not taken the time to include: LawDog, Ambulance Driver, and The Munchkin Wrangler. I then checked my Technorati links to add blogs that had put me on their blogrolls in the interim - so long as they were at least six months old and still posting.

Finally, I added a category: "Bloggers I've Met." There's a lot of redundancy in that list, but I don't care.

Believe it or not, this took about three hours. See why I've been putting it off?

This should be the only post for today. Überpost tomorrow (I hope.) Title: To be civilized is to restrain the ability to commit mayhem. It's about the war in Iraq.
