Got quite a few links here.

MUST READ: Weird Al’s lessons for the Music industry.  Actually this is good for most people – multiple exclusive partnerships, permission builds goodwill, vinyl still matters (as does any hard copy I’d say), everyone’s path is different, being a nice person is worth it.

More on the plans for Mile High to Ditch San Diego Comic Con.  They are going, but there’s still issues.

Adam Corolla takes on patent troll – and won’t let them drop a lawsuit.  I am now forced to like Adam Corolla.

I recall so many odd books in my time. I’d see these odd things on the shelf and pick them up or wonder. Or maybe read them and forget them. I especially loved science fiction and fantasy.

Thomas Anderson in part is reliving my childhood and then some by reviewing odd, forgotten, or strange genre fiction at Shlock Value.  It’s really worth reading his reviews as he finds amazing things.

What’s odd is how many of these books seem almost quaintly odd or imaginative.  I can’t see many of them getting published today, and we’re poorer for it.

Well busy, busy, busy with writing.  I have more Way With Worlds coming (I’m now writing it in big related blocks), a series on getting people’s attention on good stuff called Boost The Signal at Muse Hack.

I’ve also done more work on the Writing Prompt Generator.  Which, by my guess, won’t be complete until end of August at least.  Seriously considering taking a break to do a simpler fun generator – but this one is enticing as I keep finding more ideas.

Finally, be sure to check out my new project at MuseHack, the Geek Catalog.  I’m taking time every week to find geek citizen resources – charities, citizen science, archives, and more – we geeks can get involved in.  I keep finding amazing things I never knew about – and I’m sharing them.

Oh, and on the Curry front, trying a few tweaks of my Japanese Curry – one to make my recipe a bit healthier, and one to make it faster.  The results have been informative to say the least, so more to follow . . .

That’s it for me, what about you?
