Pre-Vacation Link Salad
Sep. 23rd, 2011 09:47 amSince I'm clearing out anything that might spoil while I'm out of town, have some links:
A) It's piracy season in Somalia again. Now it looks like pirates are setting fires on ships to flush the crew out of hiding. Oh joy.
B) Fighting climate change is not about environmentalism, it's about the human cost of trying to adapt our cities and farms to new conditions.
C) One of my favorite new authors, Tobias Buckell, is using Kickstarter to fund a novel. The book will be a sequel to his Crystal Rain books. On the subject of writing, a humorous look at the rules of genre writing.
D) From Tobias Buckell, I read of (and have no opinion on) the myth of Easter Island's ecocide.
E) I read that With the law now changed, the Marines appear determined to prove that they will be better than the Army, Navy, Air Force and Coast Guard in recruiting gay, lesbian and bisexual service members.
F) The Birthers now have a posse (literally); Sheriff Joe Arpaio Assigns 'Cold Case Posse' To Investigate Obama's Birth Certificate.
G) An interesting article: Norway: Cruise ship in danger of tilting over. When fighting fire at sea, too much water can be as dangerous as the fire itself.
