fluffy

I've noticed a few more smatterings of people who expect me to actually be here so I guess it's time for another note (posted to THE FUTURE).

If you want to follow my blog, fluffyblog is a better way to do it, although I don't post there much anymore either. I also post way too much to Twitter and draw dexdxfeed.

I don't mean to purposefully ignore people here! I'm just not here enough to not ignore them.

MEME coped from shatterstripes

I'm running a test to see who's reading my posts. So, if you read this, leave me a one-word comment about your day that starts with the third letter of your LJ USERNAME. Only one word please. Then repost so I can leave a word for you. Don't just post a word and not copy - that's not as much fun.

END MEME

and if you HAVE read Unity, this applies to you as well.

I'm maddeningly close with being done with the book. The main thing I need are good review-y blurbs for the back cover. If anyone wants to provide blurbs for such a thing, I would greatly appreciate it.

Believing in superstitions will bring you bad luck.

Comment to this post and I'll tell you one thing I love about you, and/or one reason why I'm glad we're friends.

Then you can all copy and paste this and we can start 2012 with lots of love between us ♥

This is something I'd thought about a lot over the years and recent events have made me think even more.

In the universe of "Unity," there are a number of traditions; a standard Kayohash burial is to have the body buried in a place with limited vegetation, and with a fast-growing tree (usually Eucalyptus) planted over it. This is such that the body replenishes the ground and spreads life outward.

The more scientifically-minded (and more densely-populated) city dwellers simply opt for cremation (in an induction furnace), and the remains are sent to the bio-waste recycling process.

Back in the real world, for findra, we are spreading the cremated remains near a favorite hiking trail (in accordance with local laws, of course).

For myself, I have no specific desires, but I like the idea of cremation and then my ashes being used to fertilize some pretty flowers. Maybe a bed of fuchsias and nasturtiums.

Finally, HTML5 has done everything it needs.

You can listen or buy a digital copy now. Physical copies are coming soonish, too, if that's your preference.

The only thing that number sequences can predict are the next number in that sequence.

Back when I cared a lot more about free/opensource software and software patents and stuff I was boycotting Amazon over the one-click patent. Which makes it all the more ironic that later I worked for Amazon and got a bunch of patents on ebook things when I worked on Kindle.
