[Shrek] Busy, Busy, Busy

After a couple of very busy weeks and weekends and not having time to make any posts, I'll make a quick drive-by post just to mention both Fiona and I are working on the second entry in our top five favorite authors list. Hopefully that will be ready some time this week.

Last weekend we went to TotalCon 25, or as Fiona calls it, "Geekfest" or "The Clan of the Unwashed". To me it's more of a reunion of a few friends than a game convention, although i do play a lot of Battletech while I'm there. This week it's three Worcester Sharks games in 48ish hours, and next weekend we're going to see Elton John at the DCU center.

This is one of those stretches of time where going to work is the most relaxing thing we do.

So, just to make sure this post is more than just a handful of lines, here's a few articles I found interesting over the past few weeks.

Sportsscientists.com takes a quick look at critical thinking.

Jeff Pearlman of CNN takes on an online hater in a great story about internet civility.

Slate usually has some good stuff, and if you're a grammar freak you'll love their look at the use of double spaces after periods in sentences. You'll note this blog uses single spaces. Or, maybe you won't.

If you're a Dr Who fan, and I am, this cheat sheet is pretty cool. If you're not into Dr Who, you should be. Just sayin'...

And finally, for those that like pictures of odd subjects, here's a look at some very cool staircases.
