It's time for the end of week round up of what's worth your precious time over the weekend. To increase the prestige of this I am going to single out a single post of the week that managed to stick in my mind for longer than the time it took to read it. This post will be granted pride of place over each weekend at top of this under-appreciated corner of the web. Bribery is gleefully accepted and there's a whole Amazon wishlist to choose from.

Finally stay tuned for Monday where I will attempt a live blogging experience like no other.

Without further ado, this week's winner of best post is this effort from Bill where he manages to link to me, agree with me and add me to his blogroll. He's set a high standard for you all to aspire to.

As for what else is worth your while around the blogosphere:

John at Sinosplice came up with a positive response to China's blocking of Typepad: Adopt a Blog. It's times like this I wish I understood all this HTML stuff.
Conrad discovers a good use of US taxpayers money.
Paul continues to prove that blogging is just an experiment in one million monkeys following the formula.
Hemlock remains in great form.
The Great Munuvian Invitational continues apace - just look at the rapidly expanding Munu roll. The lines are still open...and I'm proud to say I brought Alex over from the dark side. Just need to get Country Store over now.
For those interested in the Richard Clarke book but cannot be bothered reading it, Tim Dunlop provides a chapter by chapter look at it. Agree or disagree, there's some food for thought in there.
Happy birthday Helen, and Jim's got the cake.
Finally, I want trickle too, please.
