I got the final version of Legend of Black Ship Island this morning, and I\u2019ve been working on it all day, which pretty well used up my time. It\u2019s a good story, but I\u2019ve been so bunged up with this bronchitis that I haven\u2019t had a chance to do a real final edit. It\u2019s publishable now, but I can improve it, mostly by inserting a few details here and there. Avalon is a fascinating place, and some of the interactions with the ecology can be complicated.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow will be an informative election. <\/p>\n

I have found a bunch of open tabs, mostly prompted by mail, which lead to places you may find interesting. I have to clear some of them out because Firefox gets giddy if there are too many open tabs, so I\u2019m just going to dump them. None of them take long to open, and while some of you will find different ones interesting, they were all interesting enough that I kept them open with the idea of writing something about them. I probably won\u2019t get to.<\/p>\n

Sing, O Muse, the Wrath of Michelle: Spengler said this before the election. http:\/\/www.atimes.com\/atimes\/Front_Page\/JC04Aa01.html<\/a><\/p>\n

Spengler speculates on what Richelieu would have made of our wars in the Middle East. http:\/\/pjmedia.com\/spengler\/2012\/02\/27\/thank-heaven-for-little-ghouls\/?singlepage=true<\/a><\/p>\n

An interesting compilation. One day I may add to it. I need to do an essay on contraception and abortion but it is a delicate subject and requires time. http:\/\/io9.com\/5887139\/what-does-science-fiction-tell-us-about-the-future-of-reproductive-rights?tag=io9-backgrounder<\/a><\/p>\n

I mentioned this one before, but it is the best summary of the skeptical position on AGW that I know of, and I recommend it. http:\/\/i.telegraph.co.uk\/multimedia\/archive\/02148\/RSL-HouseOfCommons_2148505a.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n

Another climate change exposition: we\u2019re freezing. http:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sciencetech\/article-2093264\/Forget-global-warming–Cycle-25-need-worry-NASA-scientists-right-Thames-freezing-again.html<\/a><\/p>\n

I have pointed to this one before on why we are getting rid of the Warthog. http:\/\/www.rense.com\/general38\/a10.htm<\/a> I have mail warning me about the rense.com site, but I know nothing about it, and the source is irrelevant: the argument is well made.<\/p>\n

I won\u2019t close this tab. It needs discussion. But it\u2019s worth looking at if the subject interests you. http:\/\/hylemorphist.wordpress.com\/2011\/02\/15\/zero-point-energygroundvacuum-state-vs-real-being-vs-logical-being-vs-nothing\/<\/a><\/p>\n

Ditto for this http:\/\/www.economist.com\/blogs\/babbage\/2012\/02\/ofer-lahav-dark-energy?fsrc=nlw|newe|2-22-2012|new_on_the_economist<\/a><\/p>\n

And all of that ought to be enough. I\u2019ll be back in form in a few days. I am recovering. And I\u2019v a mountain of work to do. <\/p>\n
