                | Happy Bloomsday!
 It's the hundredth anniversary of June 16, 1904, the day portrayed in James Joyce's Ulysses! Have a pint!
 Newsday  has a good article on Ulysses, Joyce and Bloomsday.
 I'm actually more than half way through Ulysses (started a couple years ago, in anticipation of finishing by now). Parts are great, funny, touching, understandable, though I confess I "intellectually hydroplaned" over much of it (to pick up a phrase from the Daily Show's Stephen Colbert, quoted in the Newsday article).
 Google celebrates Bloomsday with this Joyce-themed graphic.
