First I'd heard of this contest. I went to the site, there's some interesting work there. I don't agree with the judges, but then I rarely do on issues of 'art'. But if you've a taste for war poetry, go take a gander - or submit! Not surprisingly, it's more Wilfrid Owen than Kipling - which is fine by me.

Past winners can be seen here.

Matt at Blackfive has already run with this, but I'll pander to my ego and assume you *all* don't read Matt before you read me... there's an artist doing free portraits of KIAs/DOWs (died of wounds). Michael G. Reagan (not to be confused with President Reagan's son). Even if you don't have a subject for him consider a visit to say thanks, and if you're a blogger, link it so more people know about it.

Lastly - Carnival of the Recipes #21 is up at Physics Geek.

We return you now to your regularly scheduled programming.
