The inevitable conclusion
In retrospect, it's obvious - as books become increasingly less relevant to daily life, they are relegated to being design accessories.
Still, I'm not quite sure which is more horrifying; that you can buy books by the foot, or that they had to put green on sale. -
Furry comics raising six digits on Kickstarter
Twokinds recently aimed to raise $25,000 in 30 days to print two graphic novels. They just passed $100,000, with over three weeks left to go.

American Express's Serve needs some work

Headed to Califur?
I'm planning a trip to Califur at the start of June; I've never been, and it's now relatively close. It's also the site for this year's Ursa Major Award ceremonies, and as there's a chance the sites I work on might win, I'd like to be there in person.

MediaWiki 1.17.3: $bytes != $buffer
Heh. Patched to MediaWiki 1.17.3 on WikiFur - I start testing and getting a strange notice whenever I try to login.

2011 Ursa Major Award nominations up - time to vote!
The nominations for this year's Ursa Major Awards are up, and three projects which I am involved with - WikiFur, Flayrah, and Inkbunny - have made it onto the ballot.
If you've not already voted, please drop by and see what's on offer. There's some good stuff, and judging by the two MLP-based nominations, we'll need all the help we can get ( Read more... ) -
Measuring a good risk - key factors affecting credit scoring
I recently read over the August 2007 Report to the Congress on Credit Scoring and Its Effects on the Availability and Affordability of Credit. It's an interesting document - well, interesting if you're me, anyway ( Read more... )
