Have decided that the best way to get a job writing is to, um, write. And I shall use my new XML/CSS skillz to make a webpage showcasing my writing! And I will write about important things! And people will read my writing and ask themselves, My gods, how can we harness all of that writing power for ourselves?
But first, I'm off to the park with the kids.

Just found out there is an entire Wooliverse built around Hugh Howey's Wool series. Far too many great stories for me to even start to pick!
Oh. You've not read Wool. Shifts and silos mean nothing to you? Hie thee to Amazon forthwith!

"Google's reputation and business has been harmed by the false and misleading reports in the media, and Google's users are concerned by the allegations. Google must respond with more than generalities. Moreover, these matters of significant weight and importance, and transparency is critical to advancing public debate in a thoughtful and democratic manner," Google said in its court filing.

For this vast, restless, endless expansion of surveillance of every sort and at every level, for the nearly half-million or possibly far more private contractors, aka “digital Blackwater,” now in the government surveillance business -- about 70% of the national intelligence budget reportedly goes to the private sector these days -- and the nearly five million Americans with security clearances (1.4 million with top security clearances, more than a third of them private contractors), the official explanation is "terrorism." It matters little that terrorism as a phenomenon is one of the lesser dangers Americans face in their daily lives and that, for some of the larger ones, ranging from food-borne illnesses to cars, guns, and what’s now called “extreme weather,” no one would think about building vast bureaucratic structures shrouded in secrecy, funded to the hilt, and offering Americans promises ... more »

Chipotle Becomes First Chain Restaurant to Labels GMOs
Chipotle is now giving consumers 100% transparency by labeling GMOs in their foods. Unfortunately, you might be shocked to learn that even their rice contains GMOs. It’s because of the soybean oil. The good news is that, using the information on their website, one can now choose GMO-Free when eating at Chipotle. They are also working to eliminate GMO ingredients from all their ingredients...following the example of Whole Food's. I applaud Chipotle for their willingness to be transparent and for being the first large chain restaurant to begin making changes that will allow their customers to purchase GMO-Free food.

OK interwebz. Help a sister out! This book, The Mabinogi: A Collection of Essays is out of print. I found it on Google Books, but, of course, cannot print out the essay I need. Do you have this book on your shelves? Have access to your local Welsh bookstore? I would love to own this book, but would be happy to just get a copy of the particular essay I'm needing (it's "Branwen: A Study of Celtic Affinities," by Patrick Ford, if you've got that lying around...).
Help me find this book?

Are Americans flunking science?
A new national survey commissioned by the California Academy of Sciences reveals that the U.S. public is unable to pass even a basic scientific literacy test.
Over the past few months, the American government has allocated hundreds of billions of dollars for economic bailout plans. While this spending may provide a short-term solution to the country's economic woes, most analysts agree that the long-term solution must include a transition to a more knowledge-based economy, including a focus on science, which is now widely recognized as a major driver of innovation and industry. Despite its importance to economic growth, environmental protection, and global health and energy issues, scientific literacy is currently low among American adults.
According to the national survey commissioned by the California Academy of Sciences:

#overheard at Chez Besbris:
Child 1: That is a fuckton of money.
Child 2: A metric fuckton of money.
Me: This ain't Canada, kids. It's an Imperial fuckton.
Pic doesn't really relate, it just has the word fuckton and a sentiment I fully endorse.

This, then, is the state of so many cases of “terrorism” in the U.S. today in which disparate Muslim men have been swept up in a system in which guilt is assumed and people’s lives are quickly turned into waking nightmares in what used to be called the “justice system.”

A 10-country comparison from the Washington Post shows the United States as the clear outlier in this regard. Countries with the highest per capita spending on video games, such as the Netherlands and South Korea, are among the safest countries in the world when it comes to guns. In other words, America plays about the same number of violent video games per capita as the rest of the industrialized world, despite that we far outpace every other nation in terms of gun deaths.

* #ShowTheFuckingDragon *
It's not called The Desolation of Short Guys with Beards or The Desolation of the Nice Fellow Who is in that Detective Show with Benedict Cumberbatch or The Desolation of Legolas or The Desolation of Kate (wait-what? There's no Kate from LOST in the Hobbit… whatever) OR The Desolation of Sir Ian McKellen.
It is called The Desolation of SMAUG — A DRAGON. I paid $25 to see the first one in IMAX 3D and all I got was a shadow of the dragon and his eyeball at the end.
…
Fuck that shit. These Lord of the Rings movies made a TON of money. If you want me to see the next one, PUT THE FUCKING DRAGON IN THE ENTIRE TRAILER!!!!
I want to see that dragon having second breafasts and picking his teethe with Isildur's bones. — More dragon. Less getting cute with elves and dwarves.

This.
And, integrating the complex systems so Veteran health claims are processed effectively (or, at all) is too much - but PRISM, no problem.
"... this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."
Right.

We stopped at a roadside store in Germany for some coffee. Along with the typical stuff they sell huge sausages and extra strong beer. That must make for fun snacking while flying at top speed on the autobahn.
