Links & Digital Happenings, 1-25-08

As usual, I have some links to share brought to you by the bookmarking site, del.icio.us.  See, when I go to a site that I like, I can click a button on my browser and it opens a window where I can type a little commentary and it saves the link.  Then, at the end of the week, I export those links out and post them all here for you to enjoy.

I also have a new Nexterday News article up, a link to which you should find to your right, under where it says “Nexterday News.”  Newer articles are always listed first, so, it’s a safe bet the one on the top is new.  Just sayin’.

My goal is to write one story a week for that site.  I have 5 in the pipeline as of right now so I think that’s do-able.  But what does a guy gotta do to get some feedback on ‘em?  Right now I’m commenting on my own news stories (though I’m using a pen name, so only those astute detectives should be able to figure that out).

Also, the link is right here:

Clive Thompson on Why Sci-Fi Is the Last Bastion of Philosophical Writing

“Science fiction is the last great literature of ideas,” he says. I know nobody likes a link to a heavy article, so I apologize for wasting your time with this link.

Dr. Laura’s Blog » Heath Ledger and Tragic Death

Once again, she’s got a point. Also, second to last paragraph…. isn’t that supposed to be hoo-RAH? I’m no marine, but I think so.

An etiquette for posting spoilers. Excellent. Spread this around.

Their best video yet. If you don’t know them, this might not be as funny. But it’s still funny. So funny.

You don’t have to read anything if you click this link… it’s a picture, and that’s all it really needs to be.
