Link Love

I see by the hands on my calendar that it's way past time to dish out a little link love to some exemplary examples of bloggolalia. To wit...

• The endlessly effervescent Dawn gives us an insider's peek into the amazing process that provides us with our daily dose of the Dawn Patrol. Personally, I think that any workplace that provides non-stop Lesley Gore on the office hi-fi is trés groovy.


• Deb is a wonderfully perceptive writer who also happens to be the only Seventh Day Adventist on my blogroll (AFAIK). I had been wondering about her reaction to reports that the alleged Fresno, CA mass murderer is an Adventist; Deb addresses that and gives us much more.


• Spare Change is a relatively new group blog built upon the contributions of a number of experienced and articulate Christian bloggers who aren't above having a little fun with topics that are, um, para-Scriptural. Thus I commend to you this post that will educate you on the variations of the number of the beast. I especially liked the Number of the Blonde Beast.


• Bryan over at Arguing With Signposts is blogging from The Big Apple, in his first visit thereto. He records his first "Seinfeld Moment" for our edification. I remember the episode well, at the car rental counter.


• Discoshaman (I know his real name, but if I told you, I'd have to, well, you know...) oversees Le Sabot Post-Moderne and generally writes about such high-brow topics as classical English literature and mid-20th-century Russian politics, but being the Renaissance kind of guy he is, he can also get down with German language heavy-metal and rap. BTW, I happen to agree with him on the hip hop thing, and would add French to the list of languages that seem to add something to your common street-variety rap. (But, then, I also thought Nena was a real fox.)


• One of the contributors to the group blog Kingdom Come asks the question that's on all of our minds lately: "Who Would Jesus Date?" OK, the title's a bit of a stretch, but he (she?) does pose some thoughtful questions for single men and women to consider: Do those of us who are Christian singles have a vision for whole, healthy, Godly relationships? Or do we simply have a checklist of things we can't do?


• We'll close this link lovefest with a nod in the direction of the brilliant-if-often-incomprehensible Simon Willison (who is much too smart for his own good). He takes a break from his usual posting about SOAP, Python, PHP and other hyper-geek stuff to remind us that strong bad has now answered his 100th email. Party on!
