\"\"<\/a>I get a note back from the Google+Blog dude about every 3 days, pointing out something else I need to do before he can do more testing as to why it’s stopped working on my blog. \u00a0Hopefully I’ve cleared away the last hurdle and the answer won’t be, “Sorry, guy, guess it just won’t work for you.”<\/p>\n

Serious stuff<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Theology<\/a> – I was never a huge Peanuts fan, but this summarizes a lot of my feelings on religion and other ideological frameworks.<\/li>\n
  2. How not to be creepy<\/a> – John Scalzi’s advice to geeks who aren’t sure if they’re being creepy at conventions.<\/li>\n
  3. Couldn’t happen to a nicer pseudo-historian<\/a> – David Barton’s own publisher has pulled his craptastic Thomas Jefferson polemic off the shelves.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Fun stuff<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Tot-lok to the rescue!<\/a> – Occasionally my chronic retention of things pays off.<\/li>\n
    2. The Doctor Nursery Rhyme<\/a> – Fantastic.<\/li>\n
    3. Man, don’t you just hate it when that happens on vacation?<\/a> – The newest problem on the Curiosity<\/em>.<\/li>\n
    4. Overmanaging Your Oven<\/a> – That “350 degrees” instruction on the recipe? Probably doesn’t have to be 350 degrees. Which is good, because your oven probably can’t be reliably set to 350 degrees anyway.<\/li>\n
    5. ALERT! ALERT!<\/a> – You keep using those words, Denver Post<\/em>. \u00a0I don’t think they mean what you think they mean.<\/li>\n
    6. Revenge of the Whedon<\/a> – Heh.<\/li>\n
    7. Google Street View as Art<\/a> – Some remarkable pictures have been (inadvertently) taken.<\/li>\n
    8. The end of the starter pistol<\/a> – Why don’t they use starter pistols any more in the Olympics? \u00a0Safety and legal reasons, sure, but also because they weren’t as fair as the current speaker arrangement.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
