filkertom- I'm actually not going anywhere this weekend. Wow. I can catch up on some music that needs to be done. And I should have the Dragon*Con sets up by Saturday or Sunday. Maybe a few others as well.
- There is an attention-seeking cretin in Florida. Pastor of a church with about fifty people. I guess he wanted to move up the ranks on del.icio or somethin'. Because he started making noise about this Sunday being "International Burn A Quran Day", and he's got the attention of world leaders and right-wing talk radio hosts and John McCain 'n' shit.
I seriously wonder how much he likes being an internationally-known asshole.
It's far too late to ignore the jerk. Butcatsittingstill has a fine response in mind: declare Sept. 11 to be "Stand Up For Religious Tolerance Day", and post something promoting it on your LJ or blog or whatever. - In tune with that, jimhines has come up with a really great macro. You can vote it up at Cheezburger.
- Our darling, the Princess of the Kingdom of Poison and Flame, 2010 John W. Campbell Award winner seanan_mcguire, is accepting pre-orders for her new album Wicked Girls.
- Lifehacker tells us about Microsoft's new free book about cyber security.

WHAT'S LUKE PLUGGING NOW?:
Date: 2010-09-09 08:34 pm (UTC)Episode #023 – Chicken On My Dashboard
Low content, low energy, lo the many minutes of precious life you’ll waste listening to this episode. With the exception of a track by Rina-chan sent to us by a listener, all the music this week is by Carrie and/or Luke, including the first finished track picked by you, the Bad Rapport listeners, from “U Pick Luke’s FuMP” from episodes 17, 18, & 19. As well as phoning in News of the Stupid, we talk about the toys of our past, Luke’s suggestions for new crass and tacky wedding traditions to replace the old crass and tacky wedding traditions, and we learn who America’s first female president was. It’s not Luke’s fiance Sara Trice, who also makes an appearance in this episode, but it should have been. Now hurry up and listen to this episode before I put it out as a CD and try to sell it to you.

(Also, I'm on it. I helped bring some goodness to the party, but there were many, many buckets of goodness that I cannot claim even the most indirect responsibility for, and I can't wait to get my contributor's copy. And then I'll probably have to buy a few more to give to people for Winterthing.)
