I am not supposed to be disjointed and hyper BEFORE my coffee...

Anyway, I think I am going to expand my blogging a little more, and try to do one regular blog post a day and one or two of these linkspam things, because... the world out there is interesting!  Stuff is happening!  People are writing things!  And I want to talk about them.

Does anyone know if there's a way to aggregate my G+ feed and cross-post it to DW?  Because that would more or less take care of my daily linkspamming... if I didn't also have a huge backlog of links saved in my email.  Downside to not having our regular computer working -- I am loathe to bookmark things on someone else's machine.

That backlog includes...

Diagnosis:  Miles Vorkosigan.


A geeky introspective on D & D I read a couple years ago.


A discussion of Gothic romance, complete with Project Gutenberg reading assignments.


A Narnia fanfic involving Legolas.  I haven't' had a chance to read it  yet, but I'm assured it isn't as bad as that sounds.

Lego Bible Stories.

The Problem with "Asian Steampunk."

A fantasy novel title generator.

A TV Tropes Story Generator.

Ada Lovelace Day.

10 useful Japanese phrases for travelers.  By my count, it's 7 useful phrases, 2 phrases that would be useful in unlikely situations, and one phrase that sends me into gales of immature laughter but would never be useful.

And that's all for the moment.

Meh.

Feeling generally creatively and conversationally uninspired thus far today, so for the moment, here's more links:  the stuff I put up on G+ today, as opposed to my email backlog.  Still looking for a way to collect G+ posts and port them over directly, the way you can with Twitter.  If anyone has an app for that, let me know!

Reading The Bible Makes You Liberal.

Herman Cain thinks Jesus is a common-sense conservative...

Herman Cain's 9-9-9 tax plan.

Jesus Joins Occupy London.

Super Heroes and Occupy Wall Street.

Why Americans are pissed at bankers.

A German law student takes on Facebook for violations of European data privacy laws.

Radar that can see through walls.


Now, somebody hire me for a career in journalism, please.

Brief lament.

So there's a quarterly newspaper that the local Baptist Church sends out to everyone in the Fargo area, and it showed up in mailbox today.  As I read it, with the intent of grumpily critiquing poor theology, I wound up less annoyed and more saddened:  there were typographical and usage errors everywhere.  Incorrect verb plurals, comma splices, missing commas, passive voice, incorrect verb tense... a classic case of Not Having A Competent Copyeditor.  And this is a periodical published only once every season -- would it kill them to have someone competent from their congregation take three hours (ten minutes per page) to sort out the more egregious errors?  The printing looks quite professional, and they must send out something like a hundred thousand copies, so one assumes they could squeeze an editor into their budget.

For a moment, I thought about emailing the pastor in charge and volunteering (provided I receive some modest financial recompense.  Call it $25 an issue, maybe).

Then I looked over the slipshod theology again, as well as the implicit sexism, biological determinism, opposition to social justice, and inconsistent hermeneutics, and I realized that I really didn't want to make these people more credible or effective communicators.
