Music: Gaelic Storm TV/Movie: Iron Man Link o' the Day: Kristine Kathryn Rusch's Freelancer's Survival Guide: Workspace. The following hand-written letter arrived in an ivory-white envelope sealed with red wax stamped with a icon I have never seen before but which could be best described as a needle thrust through the center of an Egyptian-stylized eye.
The only Professor Guld I know of off-hand is the author of a small book on Anglo-Saxon poetry. Internet searches don't tell me much more other than that he may have been one of the founders of the University of Sao Paulo. Next comes a letter similar in form to several others I have in my possession. Crimson ink on pressed-rag paper crudely folded and stuffed into a brown envelope...
Enclosed was a large, rusty sewing needle. I have no idea what this means. -=-=-=-=-=- We did the Gaelic Storm thing last night. It was a great show as always. I wasn't fond of the venue which was the Showcase Live at Patriot Place, but we made do and got ourselves into a very good position near the front of the stage where we like, right in reaching range of the band. Good times. The only hassle were drunken idiots to our right who shoved there way in front of a couple of little kids and then proceeded to screech quite piercingly at times. Fortunately Gaelic Storm is a great enough band that even the idiots couldn't ruin the night. For those interested, Gaelic Storm is playing Saturday night in Northampton, MA and you can see their tour schedule at GaelicStorm.com. -=-=-=-=-=- Today's link goes to the latest entry in Kristine Kathryn Rusch's Freelancer's Survival Guide. The topic this time around is Workspace. While I'm tossing links around, my latest column at Forces of Geek is also up. This week: Spoiler-Sport: A Rant and a Modest Proposal. Cheers!
