Aww-inspiring
I had to post this video after watching it at Bennett Madison’s blog. Ridiculously cute animal video, which is usually not my thing, but I had to share this one. Guaranteed to melt frozen hearts (unless yours is practically arctic). The end is the best part.

Copyediting
Yesterday I got the copyedited manuscript of One for Sorrow in the mail. Today I began going through it, checking everything out, correcting anything that needed correcting, adding/excising, etc. I’m almost halfway done with it after a few hours, but my head is hurting something fierce, so I’m taking a break for the day and…

Is this the singularity?
I love interesting statistics like the one in this video from Youtube, which as been making the rounds among blogs and sites concerned with economic development lately. I feel like I should be watching Braveheart or something when I watch it, but you’ll get the point. We’re, uh…a little behind, I think. The world’s moving faster…

A fun test
Not totally accurate on all counts, but fun nonetheless. What does your drawing say about YOU? The results of your analysis: You tend to pursue many different activities simultaneously. When misfortune does happen, it doesn’t actually dishearten you all that much. You are a thoughtful and cautious person. You like to think about your method,…
