Word Wizardry by Logophilus, aka Brett, aka Chiron

At this point in time Brett is working hard on finishing up a global vocabulary business focusing on the Greek and Latin roots of GRE vocabulary. In the meantime, he is continuing to write his SAT English vocabulary blog; his latest entry discussed President Obama receiving the Nobel Peace Prize, and the etymology and SAT related derivatives of the words "peace" and "President." He updates his blog on a semi-monthly basis.
