Viking Hoards
For all your Viking (and SPAM) needs!
Book-in-a-Minute
One of my favorite features over at Rinkworks, their Book-a-Minutes are the ultimate cheat sheet. Sometimes I quote them, sometimes I do my own little script-style mocking.
These can be found under Fun Stuff. With lots of other fun <a href='http://www.thewordofgit.com/readingbackwards/2010/05/housekeeping-silly-things/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last year, the Federal Trade Commission released new guidelines concerning &#8220;Testimonial Advertisements, Bloggers, Celebrity Endorsements&#8220;. There was a bit of a kerfuffle in the Blogosphere&#8211;how dare the FTC try to regulate the Internet!? I&#8217;m sure someone will try a legal challenge sooner or later, but until then, I&#8217;d like to keep my ass covered.

		<description><![CDATA[It was a fairly decent year, book-wise. On the one hand, I feel that I should&#8217;ve read more, as I certainly had the time&#8230; On the other, some great choices.
I spent time with some excellent authors, read some classics, and dipped into quite a few excellent comics.

		<description><![CDATA[I just powered my way through a ton of books over the past month+&#8230; a lot of them in the last week or so, as a nasty cold has got me down. I am a very bad person, as I did not jump on reviewing them, as I should have.

		<description><![CDATA[When I was very young, our town had an Encore books. It was a special kind of bliss, because it was like the library, but all the books were new. It&#8217;s from this book store that I got my set of the Chronicles of Narnia. I spent hours browsing their selection of Babysitters Club volumes. <a href='http://www.thewordofgit.com/readingbackwards/2009/08/tintin-au-twenty-first-century/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Go me, I finally fixed the category display that was bugging me! The categories are now in nice collapsible menus. You can now see the author tag cloud without any problem. And there&#8217;s only one search bar. It only takes me a forever to fix these things.
Now I have to find a new book. Guh.

		<description><![CDATA[I am WAY behind in reviews, so the new handful are going to be short and sweet.
I blame it all on J.R. Ward and her incredibly engrossing vampires. Damn sexy vampires. More on them when I&#8217;m not supposed to be in bed.

		<description><![CDATA[So, another year is winding down. A lot happened this year. I&#8217;ve officially finished my work for college and &#8216;graduated&#8217;. That means no more books I&#8217;m forced to read for classes. I also finished writing my senior thesis, which was a piece of fiction.

		<description><![CDATA[This summer I have managed to do quite a bit of reading, for which I am very, very happy. I have also done quite a bit of writing, which also makes me happy. But the summer is winding down now, and that means school obligations are going to start encroaching. Which probably means less frequent <a href='http://www.thewordofgit.com/readingbackwards/2008/08/summer-08/'>[...]</a>]]></description>
