Alert readers have noticed, by now, a list of intriguing links and comments in the rightmost column of this blog. This is the Bugle Tumble. There are new items posted to the Bugle Tumble regularly — and much more frequently than the Bakker Bugle Blog.
Most of the items are just links to interesting bits of the InterWebs, with a bit of commentary from us, the Bugle staff. It’s little more than a running compilation of websites where we are doing research for upcoming posts, or just slacking off. But there are also fresh photos from Luxembourg, posted to the Tumble on that day that they were taken. Current-ness!
If you use an RSS reader to keep track of your favorite websites and blogs, you can follow the Bugle Tumble’s RSS feed, too. (By the way, all the smartest and most attractive readers of the Bugle use RSS readers.)
Without further comment, some of the best recent items from the Bugle Tumble!
- A self-referential beginning, with two articles about Tumblr and social media in general: Tumblr is doubling in popularity and size every four months and Clay Shirky says that’s a good thing.
- Video of the running of the sheep at Schueberfouer 2010
- RIP Jack Horkheimer, Star Hustler extraordinaire
- Frank Schleck and his wife Martine held their wedding service and celebration on Saturday. The happy couple had already performed the civil ceremony at the end of last year in Mondorf, but delayed the church service until Frank had a spare slot in the cycling calendar. Several international cycling stars attended the ceremony, among them Fabian Cancellara, Kim Kirchen, and of course Frank’s brother Andy.
- The black panther is back! You may remember the big-cat scare from our post last autumn.
- What American soldiers in Afghanistan eat. Don’t miss the interactive tour through Meals-Ready-to-Eat of many nations.
- Globetrotter XL, a great online game to enhance your geographic knowledge. It’s not slacking if you’re learning! Bugle reader Dave threw down the gauntlet. Can you do better than 5488? Let us know in the comments. Keep your eye on the Bugle Tumble, where the staff will post our high scores in the future.

The first game didn’t count, since I was learning. However, on my second game I scored a massive 12,484 (with Will as my witness).
Buck-up, buttercups! I more than doubled Mr. Dave!
Who is up to the new, actual challenge?!
