Written in the Stars

Tolkien's work inspires the names of mountains on Titan.  Because scientists are geeks, that's why.  :D

We Voted

We went to early voting today. \o/  So now I don't have to hack an hour out of fishbowl morning.

Have you voted? Are you planning to vote? When you have voted, you may claim a verse in any open perk poem.

There are still verses left in the linkback poems "Thinking River Thoughts" and "È Meglio Star Solo."  Linking to this page will also reveal a new verses in whichever poem you request.  "Unfamiliar Feelings," "Tour Guides for All of Knowledge," and "The Tornado Blew Away" are now complete!


As a private citizen, I often argue for things I believe in. As a journalist, when I'm promoting the election as a democratic process, I just encourage people to make informed decisions and to vote their conscience. Since I'm good at compiling information, here are some resources:
