Unsolicited nomination of Executed Today for the Cliopatria history blogging awards.

arresting view of the human condition across time and circumstance from
the parlous vantage of the scaffold."
It is also engagingly written, and maintains a high standard on a daily
basis. I believe this blog deserves more notice from the history
blogging community, not the least of which for its excellent writing.Read More

Kenneth Branagh's masterpiece film of the Shakespeare classic play. Done in High Definition. Blows away the Braveheart battle speech.

I have got to remember to do action figure searches on big-name entries. For instance, I think this site alone will handle the inevitable "Jesus of Nazareth" entry:

My traffic records are being crushed.
