Online-novel (blog)
Originally published at red bird. You can comment here or there.
Well, the domain name /blog bug has hit again. Started a new blogger at http://online-novel.com . Mostly it’s rambling about all the things I read, stalk, and otherwise observe as a complete newbie to the self-publishing realm.

Siblings - A study in contrasts, or why am I such a dumb intellectual
It occurs to me that I have not written a proper blog post this year. Thankfully 2012 hasn't come and gone so I can now remark on something randomly profound that occurred to me while talking to my sister last night on the phone ( Read more... ) -

Random links to residence of Katsura Kogoro (later renamed Kido Takayoshi):
This was random stumbling while trying to track down the fate of his diaries. I’m frustrated by the disappearance of theses/dissertations into obscurity, particularly when there are so few well written and ( Read more... ) -
A bit of a test-drive… blogging from red-bird
Originally published at red bird. You can comment here or there.
Well, after all this garbage of signing up all these years for multiple journal and social networking sites, it seems I’ve found the one method that allows me to integrate different things easily from multiple sources and crosspost both to LJ and Tumblr (or turn it off if I want).
