I've reached a point in my purchasing that there's really nothing in the local stores I want anymore. All the DVDs are tired (yes, I've "got 'em all"), and the books are non-existent ("do you have--*", blank stare). Whilst I've purchased from Amazon many times before, it's become my new haven, my one ring, my "ignore the evil patents cos, dammit boy, I LIKE-A THE MATERIAL POSSESSIONS!" Here's what I've grabbed in three months:
If you're an Amazon user and have even the remotest interest in getting 10% on items like the above, you may want to consider adding me to your "Amazon Friends" list, as explained here. Just "Share the Love" back - I like exploring my Friend's interests (the Japanese Fairy Tale book was a pleasant surprise from a Friend and friend and, with a 10% discount, sits happily in my collection now).
I suspect I'll be doing a large order every two weeks or so. With free shipping, plus my own referal fees to my Associate ID, Amazon has been working quite nicely - about $60 in referal fees from my own purchases means a nice "free" order at the end of each quarter.

Regarding yesterday's entry, I probably should have said "tentacle porn", just so I'd be a high ranking Google match for such a great term. Initiate damage control!

One of my favorite comics is Kerry Callen's HALO & SPROCKET, enough so that a few months ago, I let them know via a hastily scribed email of no particular skill. It was with a pleasant surprise that I saw said lack of lustre appear within the latest issue's (#4) letter column (excelsior!). Favorite ish so far is probably #2, though all of them hold revered standings in my collection.

Welp, I have no clue when it was released, cos I was never informed, but my second Apple article is ready for a reading: Configuring DNS on Mac OS X. I finished it about the exact same time the O'Reilly Network released their own BIND/DNS article, and it's just been sitting ... .. somewhere for a few months now. Sigh. Welp, at least it's out there.

From Gamegrene.com:
Okay so only a very few players out there would try to charm Cthulhu. But inevitably, love and all things emotional come into play in most fantasy game worlds. You gotta be bashing goblins for something, right? If it's not a god, why not some dame or dude the character is jonesin' for? But, oh wise article writer, you ask, how do I, a mere, geeky GM, have my characters fall in love? Without it turning into some horrible encounter best left to those instant messaging at 3:30 in the morning? (lillith) Read more from this post.

A History of Secret Human Experimentation:
1940: Four hundred prisoners in Chicago are infected with Malaria in order to study the effects of new and experimental drugs to combat the disease. Nazi doctors later on trial at Nuremberg cite this American study to defend their own actions during the Holocaust.
1945: Project Paperclip is initiated. The U.S. State Department, Army intelligence, and the CIA recruit Nazi scientists and offer them immunity and secret identities in exchange for work on top secret government projects in the United States.
1950: In an experiment to determine how susceptible an American city would be to biological attack, the U.S. Navy sprays a cloud of bacteria from ships over San Franciso. Monitoring devices are situated throughout the city in order to test the extent of infection. Many residents become ill with pneumonia-like symptoms.
And more. Good stuff.
