Just put an order in with Amazon for a few books. Wanted to know if any readers have read any of these, and if so, what did you think?

Yes, folks, you red that right. I’ll be heading out tomorrow morning to Montana for a 10-day vacation (flying out on the 7th. I’ll be back on the 17th). I was never part of a family that took too many vacations, so I’m not exactly a big vacation guy, but I’ve been pining for one for the past few years, and The Wife decided it was time we got going.

If you don’t use Google Reader, then check out my Shared Items. I warn you, though, I tend to go on thematic blitzes, so if everything there looks like it’s about transhumanism or self improvement or writing or philosophy, try going back a few pages.
Anyway, here’s the new Le Linkage list of sites you should visit:

Ever feel like being heroic? Ever see something that’s not right, and know that you have the power to do something about it? Today I did, felt like being a hero, I mean. Instead, I was just a snitch. But should I have done it any differently?

You know, I thought about publishing a post about a game with Fark tags and headlines, but I simply couldn’t bring myself to post it. Why? Because of something I think about too often, as I’m sure has anyone who’s ever considered their blog to be more than simply a sounding board. I’m talking about the big Q:
Quality.
