Friday Link Salad
May. 21st, 2010 03:35 pmI lost all morning in meetings (productive, but still...) so have some link salad:
1) M.C.A. Hogarth, whos work I've reviewed favorably before, is writing an online science fiction serial, Spots the Space Marine. She's "crowdfunding" it (AKA, "set up a tip jar"), and new episodes come out when the jar gets full. If you are interested, drop on by.
2) Apparently, BP is issuing new uniforms to oil-spill cleanup crews. (From the always-amusing Dispair.com, the demotivator people.)
3) From time to time, I visit the absolutely NSFW web site Goodshit. In between its selection of "figure studies" (yeah, "figure studies," that's the ticket!), the proprietor posts "good shit" - stuff he finds interesting. So, I learn that China's last inheritress of the mysterious Nushu language, probably the world's only female-specific language, died at her central China home earlier this week. Who knew that China, or anywhere else, had a female-specific language?
4) I've been following with some interest the apparent torpedo attack on the ROK ship Cheonan. Like most people, I've been trying to figure out why the North attacked. This fellow has some informed speculation that maybe the attack was an act of open insubordination by the PDRK (North Korean) military. If so, the consequences could be really serious.
