It’s the hot days of summer. As I write this, my dog lays on the floor next to me, belly up, snout draped across an air conditioning vent. Fortunately, I found a few links to cool you down.

This time we’re colliding bookpiles, messages at the speed of birds, tiny awards, dungeon crawling and questions vs. answers. More on that last one next.

Please skip around, read what you want to. Find something interesting in your own internet travels? Send me a link
