Links and whatnot

I added a link section to my blog, mostly for my own benefit - it will give me a way to check those blogs I want to read regularly from the comfort of my own page. But if you've swung by here, feel free to follow them. I'll be adding more as they occur to me, or as I find them.

Coppersblog is a great picture of working as an English copper - vastly entertaining stuff.

English Magistrate is actually The Law West of Ealing Broadway, but that wouldn't fit on one line - a fascinating look behind the scenes at the work of an English judge.

Day by day is, of course, Chris Muir's brilliant cartoon (I have a comment from a Chris Muir on one of my posts, by the way - it would be way cool if it were that Chris Muir.)

Code Wizard is a good friend of mine from way back - and he has an interesting take on politics and on technology, so he's worth checking out.

The Mudville Gazette is worth reading for its own sake, and because of the breadth of other interesting military sites that get linked, mentioned or discussed there.

Indepundit is Lt Smash - fighting the good fight in San Diego. All I have to say about the relative political merits of Code Pink is that not only are they deluded at best, they're not nearly as cute as the Lebanese girls photographed protesting in Beirut.

I found Major Mike today on the Mudville Gazette - a retired Marine stranded with the loony left in Oregon. While I was reading his site, I kept finding myself going "Yeah, he's right", or "Damn, I wish I had said that." The kind of guy I wouldn't mind sitting down and having a beer with.

I've also added a sitemeter widget, because I've gotten a bit curious about whether anyone outside my immediate circle of friends and family actually makes it over here. When I started this, it was just a way to communicate with people I already knew. Now my ego has gotten involved to the point that I think it would be pretty cool if actual strangers thought what I had to say was interesting enough to read.
