Carnival of the Vanities #4

I think one of the hardest things to do in the blogosphere is to learn the equivalent of hitting singles day after day, especially when it seems like everyone else in the blogosphere is knocking them over the fence. Face it, no one hits a home run day after day, not even Lileks or Den Beste. The best you can do is make contact, keep the ball in play, advance the runner, keep on keeping on. Yes, a home run drives in a lot of traffic, but since home runs are few and far between for most of us, it's the singles that keep us in the game.

The second hardest thing is to learn is to avoid tired old clapped out baseball metaphors. Nevertheless, here are this week's hits, all ground-rule doubles at the very least.
