He did it all for the Wookiee
I've been wrapping up the last book of the Star Wars New Jedi Order series, The Unifying Force. As far as hobbies go, this one is pretty benign. And for a book series that has had its ups and downs, it sure the heck finished on a high quality note. Just figured I'd share that in case you are really full of spare time and nothing else to do.
Well, Mom has sent along some newspaper clippings from the Galva and Kewanee papers. If I can either get to a scanner or find a way to obtain them in some other way, I'll post them up.
I've been kind of busy on a temp job I've had, which has just wrapped up. Maybe some more work from it later, who knows. In the meantime, I've been accumulating links like a mad man.
From our pal Evil Ned, a site that hurts the mind as much as it tickles the funny bone.
From the land of delusion, we learn that the Maoists' Long March was shorter than we've all been told, CBS is a weak-willed pack of chumps when it comes to presidential biography type flicks, and Canadians are in on this Nigerian email scam business.
In other news, Rhode Island is apparently a rampant comparison yardstick used by writers. Another article tackles the curious nature of champion Kenyan runners, and yet one more approaches that oft-asked question (presumably someone was asking it), "What if Guy Fawkes' bomb had gone off?" Yes, these stories vaguely interest me. Move on if they bore you to death.
From the tech desk (fine, my same cluttered desk), we have a story on the guys who research map info for Mapquest and one about presidential candidates' websites.
Speaking of that bunch, there is a game at Slate where you can narrow down your candidate of choice called Whack-a-Pol. At Kuro5hin, there is a slightly tongue-in-cheek article on why Bush is not using Jesus as his inspiration as he has so often said.
