Here are the latest things getting my attention online:

  • If you're a lover of language and words, this is an essential resource - the Online Etymology Dictionary. Here you can find out where words in the English language come from. For example, the word "earth" comes from the Old English eorðe, which means "ground, soil, dry land."
  • Slate has a story about the legacy of Ike Turner. It's written by none other than Donald Fagen of Steely Dan! Donald discusses Ike's ups and downs, warts and all.
