Not that these are SciFi links, but rather I’m assuming you’ve already breezed through those links and are looking for more stuff to read, because everything is in reruns and how many times can you watch silly animal videos on YouTube? Okay, quite a lot actually, but you’re still hungering for more links.

More! I hear you shout. More? You want more? You can’t handle no more!

Whoa! Dickens and Nicholson maybe don’t mix so well.

In any event, here are some more links for you to peruse. All are recent additions to my growing lists of Blogs O’Plenty and Viral Blogs. And, by “recent” I literally mean within the last five minutes I have added them. I found them at varying times, but it was not but five minutes ago that I actually added them anywhere. Now, I get to clean out a bunch of URL files that have been gathering dust on the hard drive. No new additions to the Daytonnati Blogs; apparently, this is largely a blog-free area.

1. Rolando is playing musical blogs again. He’s nixed My Quiet Space, which lasted all of a couple weeks and has replaced it with My Hush Space, this time using WordPress. I think he recently changed his theme, again, on RPlayground too.
2. Sweet Escapes. I like the title. That’s going to come in handy the next time I do something like this.
3. Bread and Roses. I like the title too. Poor Autumn looked like she was a fine dog.
4. Brokentype. Found by way of this article on “6 Rules of Serializing Novels Online.” Good stuff. I found the idea on RSS delivery excellent as well. Good thinking there!
5. 100 Different Things. Nice title, but I’m still awaiting lists of 100 different things. I think Joanne could provide some meaningful input there.
6. ChiQ Montes - WordPress Theme Designer. As I’ve mentioned before, if you leave a comment here, you’re going to get pulled in.
7. *Thrift Store Shopper. Exactly what the title implies. And, it’s true that sometimes the cheapest things provide the most value. Consider cat toys. They’ll be endlessly fascinated with a new toy, until ten minutes later when they’ve gotten off the catnip high. But, throw a straw on the floor, and they’ll amuse themselves for hours. Just grab an extra straw the next time you eat out–free cat toy! I think I should claim a patent on using a straw as a cat toy. So, send me a nickel as a royalty payment every time you give a cat a straw to play with. Even at a nickel, it’s still a bargain compared with most cat toys. On second thought, make that a nickel an hour. Much more reasonable. For me.
8. Can’t Get Rich. This blog’s author will explain why he can’t get rich blogging, and how you can’t either. He should have thought of the Cat Straw™.
9. From Ink to Ether. A guide for moving from the printed page to the web. Remember the old days when moving from a typewriter to a word processor was a big deal? And there were writers that resisted giving up a typewriter? No wonder so many Great American (or Canadian) Novels were never finished. After a while, you just get bored typing the same thing over and over and over again, just to make minor corrections.

   Did you know that, before computers, an average of 125 writers died each year at their typewriters? You didn’t know that carpal tunnel syndrome could kill, did you? Your hands go so numb that you can’t pick up food anymore, but, oddly, you can keep right on typing. These poor souls would die typing away, and all they left behind were balled up papers all over the floor, and a page in the typewriter reading “It was a dark and stormy nighhhhhhhhhhh.”

   Yeah, I made that up. Typewriter keys don’t repeat like that.

10. Loft in Translation. Some celebrity bloggers just don’t understand blogging. Here’s one who does. It’s Mrs. Miller! Mrs. Miller? Stargate: Atlantis? The one show that’s not in reruns right now, because it’s not affected by the writers’ strike? Anyway, this is the blog of actress Kate Hewlett. Who admits being addicted to blogging, but then vanishes for months at a time. Which actually sounds like several bloggers we all know! I like how she goes off on tangents, like this: “I wonder if the cockroaches ever use the rats as transportation. You know, like little hairy horses.” And check out the cat photo in that link. If you just look at the thumbnail, that’s one huge cat! Honey, I blew up the cat! Was that a movie? Anyway, you can see from the larger view that it’s on the counter and not the floor. Otherwise, well, you wouldn’t have to worry about rats in that kitchen. Not even the New York ones.
11. Lessons from the Scrapbook Page. Scrapbooking. Apple. What’s not to like? I should do a site on Scrapbooking for Men. We’ll glue pictures to pieces of 3/4″ MDF, lacquer them and cut strips of crown molding for the frame, which we’ll then hammer for the rustic look and then stain and dry brush with a metallic gold paint. Then we’ll nail it to the wall and go eat meat. The next day, we’ll start page two.
12. The Underpaid Princess Blog. Features a fun Blogging Game!

There you go. Twelve links to keep you busy for a while. Enjoy!
