The Daily Lynx 11/28/2010

Monday, November 29th, 2010

[Insert drawing of a lynx with a monocle here]

I don’t want to admit how many RSS feeds I watch on Google Reader, but suffice to say it’s more than two and less than aleph-null.  Given how many interesting things I run across, I have decided to start a semi-regular link aggregation here.  Pay no attention to the purported daily nature of this lynx: he’s got delusions of grandeur.

SMBC has a message for science journalists. Yes.  Please.  That.

Here is a fairly awesome music video, made even more awesome by the apparent fact that it was filmed in one take. (via Shamus Young)

(Warning: Contains some NSFW language.) Blag Hag weighs in on the relationship between feminism and sexiness. These are very important points, given how frequently they seem to be forgotten.  TL;DR: Feminism is (or should be) about letting women choose what they want, not forcing them to avoid traditional roles.

(Warning: Probably not for the snake-phobic.) Something about the Pentagon and snakes, but I’m mostly interested in the video of a flying snake.  I’ve heard of those fellas, but never seen one in action.  Very nifty.

(Warning: Not for those trying to avoid Minecraft addiction.) Mojang has a bug tracker now!  Crazy.  It even tracks solved problems!

In other news, I might be doing some blog maintenance soon.  Getting a non-default WordPress theme, cleaning up my schizophrenic tag usage, that sort of thing.  Please imagine an emphasis on “might.”

Today’s writing progress (Derelict): -1 words.  Today was almost pure revision: some scenes were moved around, an outline was updated, and several scenes in Part 1 were partially rewritten to accommodate some major changes to the plot there.  (Outlines are not reflected in word count.)

Today’s writing progress (secret project):  What secret project?  I don’t know what you’re talking about.

Current music: Rogue by Incubus.  I’ve got Light Grenades on a playlist with Within Temptation, Muse, and Flyleaf albums, set to randomize.

Why yes, I am posting more frequently.

I’d say I intend to keep doing so, but I’m already treading on thin ice by mentioning it.

On another note, I mostly posted this because I like my current playlist and wanted to mention it.

Also, I’ll probably do a post with some more baby pictures soon.  Most of them will be under the cut.

Current music: On loop — Unwell (Matchbox Twenty), Jumper (Third Eye Blind), Runaway Train (Soul Asylum), Inside Out (Eve 6).  I love these songs, particularly in combination.

Raising the caveat-to-statement ratio

Thursday, October 1st, 2009

I might as well get this over with now.

I hereby give anyone who reads my blog, no matter how regularly or irregularly, permission to skip any posts that they just really don’t feel like reading.  I don’t mind.  And of course you don’t need permission to do this, but if you’re anything like me, you’ll have this horrible nagging feeling in the back of your mind if you do, sans a statement such as this.  (Not that I don’t skip the occasional blog post, but I sometimes feel like I should feel guilty about it.)

That’s out of the way?  Good.  Now for the dreaded sandwich post.

A peanut butter and jelly sandwich, it turns out, is greatly improved by the addition of cream cheese to the mix.

That is all.
