Weekend Linkage - September 1, 2008

I took a break from blogging since last Thursday and didn’t touch this site for most part of this holiday weekend. The last time I had one was during last Thanksgiving. So it’s kind of overdue. It’s a little bit strange that staying away from blogs and emails for almost four days didn’t made me feel I really missed it a lot, considering how much time I usually spend on this blog everyday.

Hope you have enjoyed your long weekend and when you have time, here are some catch-up readings for you:
