Ning Blog: I've posted something that might be of interest in my Ning Blog, "People Latin" (a wonderful cartoon by Dan Reynolds).
Comenius - Lexicon: I've started working my way through a project to digitize Comenius's Latin-Latin dictionary! I've set this up as a wiki so anyone who wants to participate can do so! For more information about participating, see the Comenius Group; for today, I digitized a page containing the entries Abecede - Abdite, including an entry for "alphabet" in Latin - either abecede or alphabetum, etc. How cool!
Bestiaria Latina Podcasts: Today's audio podcast is Vulgate Verses: Group 4, which contains this immortal saying: Stultorum infinitus est numerus. Indeed!

Today's grammar commentary is Fable 64: Satyrus et Viator, the story of the satyr and the man who blew both hot and cold.
