Forgive the radio silence. I’m attempting to beat deadlines, laryngitis that doesn’t seem to want to go away completely (despite expectorants, copious steam inhalation, and salt water gargling), and beat many other battles. I hope to offer a post or two later tonight.

PC World has listed “100 Blogs We Love.” Under the misleading nomen “Arts & Culture,” not a single arts blog, litblog, or theatre blog is listed. Instead, we get Nick Denton-style gossip, video games, and television. Last I heard, “Arts & Culture” covered a considerably broader range of topics than what is readily available through digital cable and the Wii. (Hat tip: Maxine)
