The Mocavo blog seems to get busier and busier. Most of the posts of late (as with many of the genealogy sites) have concerned the 1940 US Census - but here's an interesting one concerning Mocavo's 'Document & OCR Publishing Platform'. Cutting edge stuff.
TNA's latest podcast ('When Sport Meets the Law') can be found here.

Carrying on from yesterday's attempt to persuade you all to sign up to Twitter, by following this link you should be able to see a history of my own Tweets (which is what you'll get if you 'follow' me). Yesterday was a busy day, as you can see - and I'll be updating my tweets shortly after I've posted this blog entry.
Finally, there's a good deal of historical reading to be found at the BBC's HistoryExtra website - including History Headlines for the week, an Out & About feature, another Podcast (Falklands War), and of course your TV/radio for the coming week - see here (TV link here).
What's this all about?
