A little roundup of miscellaneous things.

1. I have a post about the recipient of the EMC Leadership Award at the Computerworld Honors-- Laura Campbell from the Library of Congress.
   
2. I have a snippet from my book about the world's first gourmand, Apicius, if you want to check it out and tell me what you think.
3. Since summer is nearly here, I wanted to share a tasty cocktail, created entirely by me. Even if you aren't a gin drinker (which I'm not) you should try it out--I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
