And now for something outside my usual range…
As I talk to more and more single people who are roughly my age, it becomes apparent to me that the Internet dating scene has become both gigantic and socially acceptable in the time I’ve been off the market–whatever stigma there once was to dating services has apparently [...]

OK, my open tab situation has got to the point where I was forced to research new Firefox plugins. I might talk about that soon, since that old “favourite plugins” post is waaaay out of date, and due for an updating. Right now, though, I want to run through a bunch of these things, attaching [...]

You know the drill: links with pithy comments.
Let’s start off this list with Jo Walton costing me a pile of money. I’ve mentioned before enjoying her Tor.com reviews, and finding significant alignment between her tastes and mine… so when she reviews a series of spy novels that I somehow have never even heard of, and [...]

For inside joke comedy reasons, I really want to bottle some beer (although I have no idea how to brew–as with fiction and music, I’m really excellent on audience, but not much on creator) just so I can label them something like this:
Yeah, OK, I was just playing around with an online label designer from [...]

Well, the most interesting book world story right now is surely the whole hardball face-off between Amazon and Macmillan. I expect the most interesting discussion at Making Light.
It’s been a pretty depressing week in the book world: too many stories of authors dying. I guess there will only be more and more stories about the [...]

I always find Joel Spolsky’s essays interesting reads. Often I agree with him, and sometimes they make me want to argue with him over a beer, but I never feel like my time is wasted. His recent short piece on the problem of over-communication, though, is a one that hits a place near-and-dear to my [...]

I believe I would happily wear any of the Teach The Controversy shirts at WearScience, but for obvious reasons, I would especially like this one:

Am I the only one uncomfortable with “too difficult to prosecute but too dangerous to release” apparently being a legit category? Doesn’t that pretty much read as “we can’t prove you did shit, but we’re going to keep you in jail anyway”? I officially call bullshit on that. Of course it should come as no [...]

Look what I found while trolling YouTube–an ancient CBC clip where Russell is being interviewed on the question of faith in a god.
(I wonder if I have the only 5-year old in town who can identify Bertrand Russell when she sees him in a YouTube clip.)

Ummm…
[He stains the rug]
THE KNAVE
Sir, prithee nay!
BLANCHE
Now thou seest what happens, Lebowski, when the agreements of honourable business stand compromised. If thou wouldst treat money as water, flowing as the gentle rain from heaven, why, then thou knowest water begets water; it will be a watery grave your rug, drowned in the weeping brook. Pray [...]

“Thou hadst a whore’s forehead”.
I have to admit I haven’t heard that one before.
That’s part of a Bible quote that crazy old Fred Phelps pulled out this week as part of his ever-expanding GOD HATES X empire. This week X has been expanded to include Lady Gaga.
I’m sure she’s proud to be in company with [...]

I don’t know, the story doesn’t make me think aliens or secret rockets… it makes me think UZUMAKI!
(0 Comments)I have a tab open to the site where you can stream the Angora Napkin cartoon. I was keeping it around to point you guys at it, and explain why you should take a look. But my soon-to-be-comics-pusher Christopher Butcher beat me to the punch, so it’s a lot easier to just point you to his post. (As an aside, in an aside, I met Troy Little when he stopped in to do a signing at Strange Adventures–he did a sketch for me in my Chiaroscuro collection, which book I think I prefer to the Angora Napkin one, not least because it has a decidedly less Ren & Stimpy art style–and he seemed like a totally nice, straight up guy.)
