Scipio Scripsit is the blog of someone who, frustrated that [he had found] blogs about Latin but none in Latin (or, as he puts it, "Plurimi de latina, sed nullos in ipsa latina"), decided to remedy the deficiency. [Note: I should have checked before taking his word for it that there were no others; see next entry.] (He's a real blogger, too—in his second post he has a picture of his dog Bomilcar.) Gaudete omnes! (Via Classics in Contemporary Culture.)
Update. Aug. 2006: Blog appears to be defunct, or, as the blogger would have put it, defunctus.

Special bonus plug: his other blog, the Absorbascon, is one of my favorites on the subject of comic books.
