(boing!) Cnoocy Mosque O'Witz

Nominations are open for Jukebox Fest 2015, and the songs nominated so far have some really great stuff in them. So if you've been thinking of finding a spring fic project, you may want to check it out. ETA fixed markup

So, y'all should read the stories (plural!) I received for Yuletide. ( Item 47: Do you like Marvel movies? ) ( Revolution 9: Do you like the weird? )

So, that fic exchange from my last post? I got a wonderful story about the Epliplectic Bicycle with lots of other amazing Edward Gorey references. Written by the wonderful marginaliana . There's Utter Zoo creatures! And abecedary bits! So you know you want to go read it.

I also wrote a story about Wild Things and boats if you enjoy such things.

Thank you very much for writing a story for me!

I have a post up today at my company's tech blog about using OpenSCAD to create 3d objects, specifically a plane-based d20:

moriwen1 wrote me an amazing story for The Exchange at Fic Corner. If you are a fan of the Iliad or of Fox in Socks (and odds are good that you are) you want to read it. It's a tale of the epic war of the Tweetle Beetles, pulling in theology and myth from elsewhere in Fox in Socks.

I have a post today on Safari Books Online's tech blog about a PostScript injection attack I wrote for the Mystery Hunt:

I received two excellent Yuletide presents.

About the Twitter robot romance "Love Doesn't Have Restrictions" I will just repeat what I said on Twitter:

If you ship @pentametron / @Stupidcounter, read my wonderful #yuletide present http://archiveofourown.org/works/591868 . If not, read it anyway and you will.

About "Inverter" I will say more: I wasn't the nominator for Chrononauts, but it seemed like a neat idea, so I requested it. I wasn't expecting an excellent six-thousand-word love story that's revealed from two different directions, with a structure that reminded me of Delany. It's a story that would be hard to write for any other fandom. If you like time travel stories, you should check it out.

Thank you to both of my Yuletide gifters!

If I had a few million dollars I would totally buy this for colorwheel .

Hey you people what read my journal:
If you have ever seen the movie "Yellow Submarine" then you need to go read the story I received for Yuletide, "(How Does It Feel To Be) One of the Beautiful People" at http://archiveofourown.org/works/299072 right now. It's a glimpse into the early history of Pepperland, including the motivations of the founders and the first defense against the Meanies. And it's also a sweet look at a character who both is and isn't an original character. So go read it!
