A Friday Thought and Three Links
Sep. 12th, 2014 09:02 amA Friday Thought
My stand-up desk is working, in that I can feel my legs get tired after a while. I knew this would happen, which is why I got a sit-or-stand version. I've been sitting for a decade, so getting used to not sitting will take a while. Although the fact that this is the first 5-day work week I've had in a month may have something to do with things.
Three Links
1) An interesting thought on 9/11 from Talking Points Memo: Perhaps more surprising still is that the only viable explanation for the dearth of attacks is that terrorists motivated to carry out attacks inside the United States do not exist. Yes, we have stopped a few plots, and done some stuff on the margins, but if Al Qaeda had the capabilities that one autistic teen did in Newtown Connecticut, we'd have been hit.
2) The writer Tricia Sullivan, guest-blogging on Charlie Stross's blog, is waxing interesting on the differences between martial arts and real fights.
3) On a lighter note, I have a new review up on Heroines of Fantasy.
