This is the post I've been semi-dreading because, of course, the second you go away somewhere, lots of interesting stuff seems to happen. I didn't get to follow the blogs as much as I would have liked because I was on dialup (and I've got Firefox set up to open all the blogs I follow in separate tabs all at the same time -- obviously that doesn't work well on dialup), although I do give a tip of the had to Glaukopis and Curculio for trying to 'fill the void' (and Laudator for bemoaning my absence). In any event, hopefully you've already seen most of these which have caught my eye over the past couple of days ... in no particular order:
First of all, however, The Stoa appears to have been hacked by some script kiddies ... time to update wordpress ... [note in passing ... Michael Shanks might be in the process of being hacked too]
Bane's Demesne had a cute post about a less-than-enthusiastic Latin student ...
Campus Mawrtius has recently resurrected from its post-second-term hiatus (if that's the right word) with a semi-flurry of posts.
Over at Sauvage Noble, AM has been blogging the Linguistics Society of America's meeting (note in passing, we need more meetings blogged!!!!)
PH at Religions of the Ancient Mediterranean has put up a couple of useful epigraphical posts, one on the inscriptions of Pergamum online and now on the inscriptions of Aphrodisias.
NS Gill over at About.com has consistently blogged about a pile of things, too numerous to mention here but worth checking out ...
MH over at Laudator similarly had a pile of good posts, but these in particular caught my jaded eye ... Plautus and Wodehouse ... Latin in Buffy and Angel
.... Acrostics... Rousseau and Latin
The Digital Classicist alerts us to the Eton Greek Software Project
Atriades paid a visit to the county museum in Taunton and took a pile of photos of the Low Ham Mosaic (and other things) which are definitely worth looking at ...
Pompilios has posted the first three chapters (in Spanish) of his book on the theory that Greek architecture is nautically-derived ... (alas, my Spanish is not sufficient to handle this)
Hobbyblog, of course, continues to impress with the sheer volume of his collection ...
... and dare I mention that Ginny Lindzey has started up a Live Journal thing called the Latin Zone, documenting her preparations for the upcoming school year?
Related to this (I still have a few more blogs to cover ... my bookmarks need some cleaning up), I note that the Cranky Professor will be doing an Ancient/Medieval Carnival of blog posts (someone sent me or a list notice of this but I deleted it ... I think it was mentioned by Alun somewhere) ... essentially you nominate your favourite blog posts (note, not blogs ... rc doesn't really qualify, I don't think, for the Carnival format) ... details can be found (among other places) at Early Modern Notes ...
Possibly more updates throughout the day today, but probably not.
