It's day 10 of the Hollywood writers' strike [1], and people — from Family Guy's creator to blogging writers from Late Show with David Letterman's staff [2] — are starting to get punchy. Here are some of the recent developments:

• There's a report that Letterman will pay his staff out of his own pocket [5] through the end of the year.
• Ellen DeGeneres, who's been under fire for crossing picket lines [6], has canceled plans to tape her show in New York [7] next week.
• What we'll be watching if the strike continues: a whole lot of game shows [8] and a Supernanny spinoff called Supermanny. [9]
• There's a small (so far) movement to send unsharpened pencils to the networks. [10]
• This new blog [11] tracks strike-related job losses.
