You know, I kind of like the library.
Sure, it's dark, and the butler insists it's haunted. Parts of it move around inexplicably from time to time, and a vestibule might be gone tomorrow and elsewhere the day after, but overall I can find what I'm looking for and I get things done.
It rather reminds me of what I imagine an old university's library should be. The smell of old books, elaborate shelving, sweeping staircases, endless shelves upon shelves, the occasional cobweb, dim light filtering in from stained-glass windows, and at night soft light wafting down from grandiose chandeliers.
Still...

Sausage Kale Soup
Hi everyone,
I highly recommend this recipe:

The writer had a blast writing it. The results are tasty, even reheated at work. :)
Why am I posting this? It keeps getting dropped from my wife's Pinterest board, which is super annoying. >:-( I might have to find or write an app that keeps track of her boards that will alert her to vanished pins.

Breathe Deep
Eet eez a beeg ball of boom. Ya.
And I'd made it.
Luckily, I'm on the other side of a duralloy pressure containment door. This side has a simple, two-color design on it reminiscent of its cousins for bio, chemical, and radiation hazards, but about twice as frightening: memetic hazard.
You see, just because it's information doesn't mean it's not dangerous. Even through the double-walled duralloy chamber, it aches. Not in the head, but in the chest. It isn't too bad here, but inside, facing it? Ugh.

Pi and Typewriters
Sounds from my distant childhood, mixed as music.
Another interpretation of Pi as music. 'Cuz this has been done before (I don't particularly recommend the original, though it does involves lasers).
Yup, that's all for this post.

True Journalism
There is an article on CNet that has fantastic writing. The journalist found a modestly newsworthy topic, did his homework, and then dropped some amazing prose into our world.
I just about died laughing as I read it. The incongruity of the writer's style with the content is priceless.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
