Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….<\/p>\n
    \n
  1. Can You Recognize the 10 Greatest Swords Of All Time? [Daily 10]<\/a> – I’m pleased to say that I recognized all the ones I’ve actually been exposed to (a few game-specific ones I’d not seen before).<\/li>\n
  2. Vivian’s Blog-o-rama: Firefly Cupcakes<\/a> – A happy birthday indeed!<\/li>\n
  3. Why we can’t have a full-size AT-AT from Star Wars, or an app that makes your iPhone look like a PADD from Star Trek<\/a> – This is why we can’t have fun things.<\/li>\n
  4. The best sci-fi film never made: Also-rans take a bow \u2022 The Register<\/a> – This is the also-ran list, and there are some books here I’d dearly love to see turned into movies: “Agent to the Stars,” “Caves of Steel,” “Citizen of the Galaxy,” “Glory Road,” “Inferno,” “Mutineers’ Moon” … but I’d sacrifice them all to avoid having to deal with the prospect of a “Chronicles of Thomas Covenant” movie …<\/li>\n
  5. Philosophical Referee Signs<\/a> – This one’s for Dave N.<\/li>\n
  6. Fischer: Muslims Don’t Have To Convert, Just Renounce Islam<\/a> – Stay classy, Bryan! (Dolt.)<\/li>\n
  7. David Barton on Thomas Jefferson \u2013 In the Year of Our Lord Christ<\/a> – David Barton attributes to Thomas Jefferson boilerplate text on a form Jefferson signed in order to make it seem that Jefferson was a particularly devout Christian? Inconceivable!<\/li>\n
  8. Climate Pollution Is Killing Pikas, The Mountain Bunnies Of The Rockies<\/a> – Awwwwwwww … I love pikas (and the sounds they make).<\/li>\n
  9. Multitasking Differences: WP7, Android, and iOS<\/a> – Kind of interesting.<\/li>\n
  10. 10 Charts About Sex \u00ab OkTrends<\/a> – Comparisons, correlations, and quirky trends about sex. Always fun.<\/li>\n
  11. Chutzpah: Indianapolis Observer<\/a><\/li>\n
  12. Kyl Throws Fake Fact Down Memory Hole [Dispatches from the Culture Wars]<\/a> – Stay classy, Jon! And don’t forget … THE INTERNET NEVER FORGETS.<\/li>\n
  13. Organize & Create Your Short Stories & Novels With StoryBook<\/a> – This sounds very cool — but also a great way to distract one from actually writing.<\/li>\n
  14. Tom The Dancing Bug – News of the Times: Library System Terrorizes Publishing Industry<\/a> – Funny, because it’s true. And … hey, look, the GOP is trying to shut down libraries. Nice!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
