Here at SFist, we're not too broken up since we prefer shotguns for home defense. Ian over at WULAD deconstructs the meaning of a meeting between GavvyGav, KimKim and "His Horsey Majesty." And a Shout Mag reader recounts a run-in with an officer over a parking ticket.

Om Malik suggests that people take a break from constant discussions of Google, Yahoo and Microsoft, but we can't resist linking John Paczkowksi's post about the Google Base and what it means for newspapers.
