D.P.H. ongoing by Tim Bray (2010-07-21). I owe a whole lot to Perl. So does the practice of computing in general, and the construction of the Web in particular.

When soothing lies go wrong. John Markley, The Superfluous Man (2010-08-07).

Almost Getting Away With Murder. Darian Worden, Center for a Stateless Society (2010-07-09). Bay Area Rapid Transit police officer Johannes Mehserle was given a slap on the wrist for his January 1, 2009 murder of Oscar Grant.
