IBM threatens to leave standards bodies (from The New York Times) It looks like they've had enough of the pandering to Microsoft and OOXML.
McCain Loses His Head (from The Washington Post) When you're a Republican candidate for President, and George Will is saying you're "behaving like a flustered rookie playing in a league too high", things are not looking good you.

Ancient yeast reborn in modern beer (from MSNBC) My brother should find this one interesting.
Albert Pujols, underappreciated superstar (from ESPN's Page 2) Jonah Keri makes a pretty good argument for Pujols as MVP. I agree, but am still more impressed with Manny. But I guess that's kind of his point.

In other news, with the exception of one instrumental written over vacation I have officially not written a song (collaborations and recycling don't count) in nineteen months. But who's counting?
