UD is...
"Salty." (Scott McLemee)
"Unvarnished." (Phi Beta Cons)
"Splendidly splenetic." (Culture Industry)
"Except for University Diaries, most academic blogs are tedious."
(Rate Your Students)
"I think of Soltan as the Maureen Dowd of the blogosphere,
except that Maureen Dowd is kind of a wrecking ball of a writer,
and Soltan isn't. For the life of me, I can't figure out her
politics, but she's pretty fabulous, so who gives a damn?"

Rent-A-Ruminant


'Goats will be doing yard work at the University of Washington's Bothell campus this week.

The university is bringing in the animals as an environmentally friendly way to control weeds. It joins Seattle City Light and King County in the use of goats to remove weeds without pesticides or the use of fuel-powered equipment.

Goats from Vashon-based Rent-A-Ruminant will be on campus this week. Other goats from Edwall-based Healing Hooves will come to campus later this summer. The university said it is considering housing its own goats full time.'
