    • 📚 The Legacy of Molly Southbourne by Tade Thompson No review, as this book is a Philip K. Dick Award nominee, and I am the coordinator for the award ceremony at Norwescon. While I have no input into the selection of nominees or judging, I want to be sure to avoid any appearance of influence. ➡

    • Throwing down the gauntlet… Bill Gates: Nowadays, security guys break the Mac every single day. Every single day, they come out with a total exploit, your machine can be taken over totally. I dare anybody to do that once a month on the Windows machine. ➡

    • Amazon Prime I am very excited to announce Amazon Prime, our first ever membership program, which provides 'all-you-can-eat' express shipping. It's simple: for a flat annual membership fee, you get unlimited two-day shipping for free on over a million in-stock items. Members also get overnight shipping for only $3.99 per item -- order as late as 6:30PM ET. ➡
    • No more combined feeds While I'd been considering this for a little while, Dave's 'Information Aversion' post prompted me to un-splice my Flickr photos from my RSS feeds. Having done that, I've updated my feeds page to list my current available syndication feeds, all broken out to allow readers to subscribe to as much or as little of my drivel as they please. ➡
    • State of the Union 2005 'Liveblogging' (though I won't actually post this until afterwards) the State of the Union. I'm not sure why, all it's going to do is annoy me. But still... [Speakeasy had sudden network issues midway through the SotU, so I didn't get to see all of it. Lots of grumbles about what I did see, though.] ➡
    • Jumping the gun? All this, and it's just barely into February. That just doesn't seem right. Okay, so I'm not in Alaska anymore, where February tends to be the coldest and most bitter weeks of winter, but isn't it just a bit early for weather like this, even here in Seattle? ➡

    • Happy Blogaversary! Congrats to Kirsten on her one-year 'blogaversary', complete with spiffy new site design! ➡
    • Teaching? Technical writing? Every so often, a topic pops up in the TypePad User Group forums that I feel I can add my own particular little brand of insight into, and I'll spend some time doing my best to explain (often in excruciating detail) what's going on. I recently got a very nice comment from Doc in response to one such post. ➡
    • Only Just Beginning There once was a boy who remembered that his heart did not ever really belong to him. So he tried to give it back to the sky. ➡
    • RSS feeds updated I've updated, rearranged, and cleaned up the RSS feeds for Eclecticism. Hopefully I haven't just screwed things up too horribly for those of you who subscribe to one feed or another. ➡
    • New category, design tweaks Following up on my thought process, I've added a 15Minutes archive category that collects all posts related to my experiences with blogging my way out of a job. I've also made some other slight design tweaks. ➡
    • One more mention I need to set up a 'fifteen minutes' category… ➡
    • That’s no pastie! Ah, well -- my views aren't about to change anyone's mind. Still, I'm constantly frustrated by a culture that glorifies violence and vilifies sexuality (unless it's being used to sell something). Seems pretty backwards. But that's just me. ➡
    • Welcome, Katya! Many congratulations to Casey and Jennifer, who became the proud parents of Katarina Anne Scott on the 19th! ➡

    • Balls and beats I also may have an opportunity to start spinning again...albeit in sort of a cheezy fashion. The bowling alley in Muldoon is one of the ones in town that does Neon Bowling on weekend nights, and they're looking for a DJ for their Saturday nights. ➡
