5 Ways to Deal with Word Repetition
Self-Publishers: Do You Need Nurturing?
I found this one quite illuminating: LOL isn't funny anymore
Getting Everything Right Is Wrong
Pirates & Trolls But No White Knight by Beth Fred (on the pirating of eBooks)
Notes on Writing Fight Scenes
"Illegal" Magic Systems
And this is just a "little" thing for you science fans: A Boy And His Atom. Guinness-certified world's smallest movie, created by stop-motion photography of actual atoms arranged by IBM researchers. Magnification factor? 100 million times.
This North Carolina boy is heading to Las Vegas, Nevada to attend a LOMA/ACORD conference for work. While I love flying, I despise airports and all the hassles that come with them. However, the upside to this trip is that I get to see Dr. Michio Kaku in person! He'll be wrapping up the conference!

Dr. Michio Kaku

Dr. Kaku's website is a great place to visit.
Wish me safe and hassle-free journeying. Time and wi-fi willing, I'll pop in and do a bit of visiting. Until then, write wisely!
Love the Sunday Surfing, Jeff. I just read the CNN article on LOL...I still think it's mangling the language. Yes, it's the birth of a new one...but one that you lock in the basement when company comes.
ReplyDeleteBwhahahaha
DeleteWith birthing comes pain. It will be interesting to see where the pendulum stops.
DeleteHave a safe and fun trip!
ReplyDeleteHave fun. And remember to silence your cell phone while Mr. Kaku is speaking.
ReplyDeleteThat would be embarrassing, wouldn't it?
DeleteHave a safe trip! Enjoy the conference and Mr. Kaku.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Elsie. I shall try.
DeleteHave a good conference, I used to enjoy business conferences.
ReplyDeleteJO ON FOOD, MY TRAVELS AND A SCENT OF CHOCOLATE
Thanks, Jo. So far so good. :)
DeleteThanks very much for linking to my "Illegal" Magic Systems post. That ought to get me a bit of traffic. I'll consider it an early blogiversary present (May 15th).
ReplyDeleteIt was a good post! And happy anniversary.
DeleteHave a great time at the conference! I just hate flying period.
ReplyDeleteThen you definitely don't want the 5-hour flight from Charlotte to Vegas.
DeleteThank you for the links. Just want to let you know that your surfing makes a real difference. After reading Sequels by Sheena B. I bought her book Funny Tragic Crazy Magic for my kindle. So keep right on surfing and opening our eyes to new articles, blogs, and information.
ReplyDeleteIt's always good to hear that people are finding the links helpful. I'll keep surfing. :)
DeleteEchoing other: have a great conference and thanks for the links.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, Julie.
DeleteHave a great trip and thanks for the wonderful links. I love your Sunday Surfing. Good luck with airport craziness.
ReplyDeleteFortunately the airports weren't too bad heading out on Sunday. I hope the same holds true for the return flight.
DeleteI saw A Boy and His Atom earlier this week. It's amazing what we can do these days.
ReplyDeleteThat was amazing. Left me with some questions though.
DeleteVery helpful links. Thanks, Jeff. :)
ReplyDeleteAlways a pleasure, Linda.
DeleteI don't think I've used the LOL twice in its life. Remember to gather the tips from the Disco Dwarf Show! Share is 50/50.
ReplyDeleteTip #1: Don't stare at patrons when they fall backwards into a deep fountain. (I saw this before I even got to my hotel room!)
DeleteSo many great links! The "Getting Everything Right is Wrong" article was especially comforting, since I tend to be a perfectionist...
ReplyDeleteHope you have fun in Vegas, even if the airport part of the trip will be dreadful for you!
Being perfect is hard work, isn't it? :)
DeleteHave a super time in Vegas! You lucky thing you!
ReplyDeletePeople keep saying lucky. Maybe they're right. ;-)
DeleteI read that article on pirating. Crazy!
ReplyDeleteYeah, kinda disheartening and definitely sad.
DeleteI've read a few of Michio Kaku's books and he's made some complex stuff understandable and interesting. Physics of the Impossible was excellent.
ReplyDeleteMaybe he'll be able to one day derive that inch-long equation. Time will tell.
DeleteSweet links! Those are some great finds, Jeff. Thanks for sharing them! :)
ReplyDeleteI shall always share and make Mom proud. :)
DeleteI'd heard of the movie IBM created but I hadn't seen it before. Thanks for the link to it--and the others as well!
ReplyDeleteIt was an interesting video, no doubt about it.
DeleteWaving from NC. Have a safe trip!
ReplyDeleteI'll be waving from NC again come Thursday night--providing all goes according to plan. Thanks!
DeleteHey Jeff,
ReplyDeleteY'all have a nice time in Las Vegas and say hello to Dr. Michio Kaku for me. Have you ever heard of Dr. David Suzuki? His daughter was on the same plane as my human, Gary, when he went to Vancouver.
Pawsitive wishes,
Penny the Jack Russell dog and modest internet superstar! :)
Can't say that I have. But I'll definitely relay your greeting if I get the chance. I would like to shake his hand. (Maybe some of his smarts will rub off on me.)
DeleteReally interesting links. Thanks for sharing Beth's guest post. :-)
ReplyDeleteThe post was worth sharing. It was my pleasure.
DeleteThanks for sharing these links and have fun in Vegas (even if it is for work)

Vegas wasn't so bad. I'll post pictures later.
DeleteSafe travels Jeff. Don't lose your teeth (that happened to my mother, she went to Vegas and lost her teeth...they were fake, but still, it was what she used to chew with)
ReplyDeleteI just arrived back home. I'm happy to add that all my teeth arrived with me. :)
