It's been a while. Lots of travel!

• Battle Over: CBS gave 'Jericho' a fighting chance - From Inside the Box - Zap2it - A remarkably sane post about TV show cancellations.


• New York Photography » POD Photo Books, Bottom Line - In-depth look at the various print-on-demand photo books. Personally I've used Blurb and been happy with them.


• Q&A with Clay Shirky, author of <i>Here Comes Everybody</i> - Nerve.com Screening Room - Interview with NYU professor Clay Shirky about his new book.


• Most Controversial Campaign Ads: No. 10 - AOL Video Blog - Pretty good collection of ads.


• ClearContext Corporate Weblog - I looked at this a while back. It may be time to take a peek again.


• Disks have become tapes - O'Reilly Radar - "In short (as observed by Doug Cutting at OSCON last year), MapReduce hits the sweet spot by operating at the transfer rate of disks (growing at 20%/year) rather than seek rate (growing at 5%/year) as relational databases do."


• Marginal Revolution: All you can eat? - The specifics will probably be messy and hard to predict. But I think it fair to observe that different ways of paying for/consuming music could change the market.


• Coding Horror: The Dark Side of Extensions - It's worth remembering that customizability and extensions aren't really an answer for the vast majority of users.


• InsideTrip - Intelligent travel choices - A new air travel site.
