I'm back! For this week, anyway. Next week is another math camp, so I haven't decided yet what I'll do. Maybe I'll let Hejira take over and quote Red vs Blue for a week or something.

Seriously, I'd like to congratulate Scooter on a fine job in the driver's seat. Not only did he follow my instructions perfectly and write some great newsposts, he actually fixed a mistake I made. One of the new author files was missing, and Scooter managed to dope out my PHP code, find the problem, and supply the file. Fantastic work, especially for a first time. I'd say this bodes well for future staff updates.

Now then, this week I hope to finally do some of the stuff I've been doing "thought work" on for months. I won't have a lot of time, but I'll see how much of a start I can get. And as for today, here's a list I came up with on a whim: The Top 10 Tips For Aliens Invading Earth. (Yes, folks, I for one welcome our new insect overlords.)

I had a great time with my temporary new toy. As Kiki would say, "Shiny!"

That would sure screw with Sheridan's strategy.

Hah! I love it. Skewering cliches always amuses me.

Or you can say "The sky bodes grimly", which amounts to the same thing. I think.

Oh! Oh! The Sacred List has been linked to! Must resist ..urge...to memorize...

Also, if you're looking for content, I'd bet the Plan could be dragged out of whatever attic or basement it was consigned to and ressurected. Like the Cylons. Note to self: finish that episode. This is getting ridiculous.
