One way to support Linux.

Have Laptop, Will Travel.

Late Friday night, I finished reading Spook Country by William Gibson.

I woke up this morning spooning my dog.

Let that soak in for a minute...
Spooning.  My.  Dog.

Now, while there's nothing intrinsically wrong with this, I still found it a little disturbing.  Perhaps more so because I had a dream about getting two flat tires with my ex-wife in the car and her remaining perfectly calm the whole time.  Obviously, it was a dream, because that would never have happened in life.  Trust me.

Now that my eyebrows are growing back, I've been thinking about getting back into shape.

Oh, where was this when I needed it!?
Okay, it doesn't do all the work for you, but the WordPress Plugin Generator pumps out the basic framework of a WordPress plugin in short order. It sure would have been nice to know about this when I was doing my little plugins, the MoonPhase Plugin and the Dale Reckoning (aka Forgotten Realms Calendar) Plugin.

Though, some news is better than others...

So, yesterday, a pair of recently married friends were asking me about my dating plans.

Or, why wear someone else's logo?

Creating language.

Wow, this is new ground for conlangers!
Constructed languages, conlangs for short, have been around for a very long time, but it's been a kind of "secret vice", as J.R.R. Tolkien put it. Until now. When the L.A. Times does a story on conlanging, well, it's hard to keep that kind of thing secret.
