An update about Bronies, the dudes who are massive My Little Pony fans - there is apparently a conference called BroNYCon. The 4th one just wrapped up in New Jersey.

An incredibly interesting article on obituaries from the New Yorker, mostly centering around that of Count Robert de la Rochefoucauld. (Props to the Browns for the heads-up on the Count).

Several articles regarding runner Lolo Jones, hrm. Just a note, she's the one in the scandalous Outside magazine cover from earlier this year that got discussed over a Mickies breakfast a while back.
