All this is mostly for me... You can make what you wish of these-- I certainly will. For now I need time to digest it all. I don't really like posting a bunch of headlines and links, without adding my own two cents, but as the blog description says, I'm merely "collecting all those scraps I find in my pocket at the end of the day..." And the day is still young.

Updates and personal impressions to follow, so for now, if you feel inclined, please add your own two cents.
