Meet my friends

[j4]

addedentry: mobbsy links to mad musical taxonomy which you (and others!) may appreciate.

sion_a: nja shows us some lovely pictures of ducks. (In fact, mobbsy may want to take note as well: nja is a fount of great photos and philosophical musings.)

taimatsu: bibliogirl has been writing about costume construction for roleplaying stuff.

All you people who say ego-boosting things about my writing (I love you guys! mwah!): acronym gets more mileage out of the planets meme than I do.

Anybody who's interested in the recent US election: a friend of spyinthehaus's points to some fantastic maps and cartograms of the distribution of votes. The distorted maps look like something from the Dream Anatomy site, which I saw ages before it was flagged by coolgov. (I originally found it while looking for this anatomical drawing, which I saw in Marsh's Library in Dublin a couple of years ago.)

Talking of spyinthehaus (we were, weren't we?) ... it's a real shame monkeyhands isn't around to read his innovative exegesis of John Gray's bestselling self-help books.

Keep on blogging, folks. Keep on joining the dots.

Woo, thank you, that's really interesting :)

Blogtastic!

Given that my friends list is almost a subset of yours, I'll make my recommendations here:

If you like photos, jema posts amazing pictures of flowers (http://www.livejournal.com/users/jema/2004/08/11/) when it's light enough in northern Sweden for outdoor photography (i.e. not now, but look at August and September). She's a bit sensitive about people adding her and then dropping her at the moment, so don't do it unless you're in it for the long run.

The incredibly famous and popular rhodri acted as a sort of LJ pimp (http://www.livejournal.com/users/rhodri/258515.html?nc=1) for curiousjen the other evening, as a result of which she went from having one friend (Rhodri) to about fifty, overnight. I was second! She writes very well about cleaning toilets and having no money.

Wow... I feel privileged for making that list when all I do is post links, geekery, tedious life details and a few mediocre holiday snaps.

I like the ducks.

And p4t is TEH ROXX0R (thanks to either ruudboy or offensive_mango - it popped up on my friendsfriends page so I don't know which of them to blame). But it's not really a journal, shiftless is the person responsible.

Right, I really am going to have to get in my car and get my grandmother a birthday card now. No more avoiding ACTION! Stop posting and get off your arse, Mr Norman!
