The Music of the Synapses
http://amberite.livejournal.com/663570.html
The Music of the Synapses. This tightrope made of sound. Can you get high on cardamom, is that a thing:. January 9th, 2013. Can you get high on cardamom, is that a thing @ 02:26 pm. Tales of an inveterate college addict. PEOPLE, you guys, sometimes they are just AWESOME. Like when the quiet girl with the headscarf brings in a carafe of what she rather vaguely calls Arabic coffee and cups for sharing. And you go "wow this is amazing do you know if any restaurants around town serve coffee like this". And y...

Dragons, sleeping. - ~ eclectivity // the boy aims for wild fields
http://eclective.livejournal.com/457423.html
Eclectivity / the boy aims for wild fields. World Peace Through Shared Popular Culture. Dec 1st, 2009 at 8:16 AM. A thought that came to my mind:. That anyone would believe themselves to be a dragon is, the more I think about it, hardly surprising. What is surprising is that anyone ever believes themselves to be human. For what is this form but a transitionary one? What are we all but beings caught between falling angel and rising ape, not a thing in our own right but full of the characteristics of both?

Science keeps me warm at night. How To Keep Voters With You Forever, or What We Talk About When We Talk About Duverger's Law. Nov 6th, 2010 at 3:14 AM. So I'm a bit late to the game with this trifecta of links, and maybe what I have to say has already been said elsewhere, but what the hell:. How To Keep Someone With You Forever. Please ignore the title of Why Being Liberal Really Is Better Than Being Conservative. And for the hat trick, How Conservative Values Create Sick Systems. Which synthesizes the t...

Cleaning house - Autopope! May 27th, 2008. Over on my Real blog. I have decided, in the interests of running a civilized web salon, to Clean House. For too long, my blog's had a slight surfeit of right-wing trolls, and I'm not happy about this. So I'm working out a moderation policy . So far, the rules of thumb I'm looking at are:. I, Charlie Stross, pay for this server out of my own pocket. I don't accept advertising from third parties - insofar as there is any advertising content. And my writing.).

A True Rule - Discipline
http://donferdinand.livejournal.com/127793.html
An important work of historical fiction. Mon, Jul. 13th, 2009, 08:53 am. There are important rules about what to do if three people are socializing together and two of them are "a couple." They just mess me up every time for some reason, and I feel there is no way to negotiate them gracefully AT ALL. First, if you are in a restaurant or some place where you have to sit down, you have to make sure the couple sits together and the third person sits across from them. In short, three-in-a-row situations requ...

GNS Links and Comments - John's RPG Journal
http://jhkimrpg.livejournal.com/57283.html
GNS Links and Comments - Johns RPG Journal. April 24th, 2007. 11:58 am - GNS Links and Comments. I think I've done fairly well to avoid discussion on the GNS Model. The last time I had a post focused on the GNS Model was back in November 2005: "Me and GNS". Where I commented that I wouldn't post about it much - which it appears I've done fairly well on. Still, there are posts on it to time to time that I read, and I thought I'd summarize again. There's Jono's Natural Log post GNS theory. However, at this...

in a lot of ways, I would have preferred the aliens | Letters from Titan
https://lettersfromtitan.com/2011/05/02/in-a-lot-of-ways-i-would-have-preferred-the-aliens
In a lot of ways, I would have preferred the aliens. Last night, Erica and I were sitting in my apartment’s office working on the show when it became clear from the living room that something important was happening. So we rejoined the rest of our households and flipped from HBO (because we were going to watch Game of Thrones. Again) to CNN and waited to find out what very important thing was happening, all of us with a certain degree of trepidation. And then we all know what happened. But in the time si...

My StumbleUpon blog: sites that caught my eye. Finally Feminism 101: the basic course. I Blame The Patriarchy: the advanced course. Orcinus: keeping an eye on right-wing extremism. A Tiny Revolution: willingness to make extremely obscene jokes can co-exist with very strict moral standards. Schneier on Security: a disturbingly practical man. History Is A Weapon: just what it says on the tin. TVTropes Wiki: for a writer, less factual and more useful than Wikipedia. Tue, Jan. 25th, 2011, 08:09 pm. About wha...

I recognized everything in it (ohboy. Maguro, sake, ikura, tai, hamachi, tamago, tako, kani, possibly hokkigai, ebi, shiro maguro or ono? Um, I think that's all the meat?
