It’s my birthday today and, thanks to my lovely family, I’ve been far too busy playing with my brand new iPod and going out for lunch (unsuccessfully, but that’s a story for tomorrow) to blog.

But here’s a handful of links, handily filtered with the aid of red wine, to end the day:

The latest Technorati report on the [state of the Blogosphere](http://www.sifry.com/alerts/archives/000443.html?ref=onemanandhisblog.com) shows growth starting to slow. [Intelligent comment at Open](http://open.typepad.com/open/2006/11/blogging%5Fboom%5Fs.html?ref=onemanandhisblog.com). (Linking: saving me from writing every single day…)

And here’s some figures on [the readership of ](http://www.wordblog.co.uk/2006/11/05/what-is-the-purpose-of-newspaper-blogs-reprise/?ref=onemanandhisblog.com)*[The Telegraph](http://www.wordblog.co.uk/2006/11/05/what-is-the-purpose-of-newspaper-blogs-reprise/?ref=onemanandhisblog.com)*[‘s blogs](http://www.wordblog.co.uk/2006/11/05/what-is-the-purpose-of-newspaper-blogs-reprise/?ref=onemanandhisblog.com). And it identifies [the most popular newspaper blog in the country](http://timescolumns.typepad.com/gledhill/?ref=onemanandhisblog.com) (not from *The Telegraph*). Interesting, huh?
