Note wrt. the 40-something midlist author: that's the down-side. There's an sunny side, too (although I'm probably not midlist any more).

Sigh. Goodbye, Walkman. It's true I haven't had one for years now but you were a true companion to me for many years and I loved you deeply.

I have a friend in the Pictures of Muslims Wearing Things. It was very awesome to flip through the pages and then go "Hang on, I know her..."

I've posted a longish thing based on your scientific errors link. I'll be posting some version of it to lj later.

My reaction to the Walkman story was weird. I was both surprised they were still making them, and also disappointed they were going to stop.

I'm hoping Sony Ericsson will make another decent phone at some point so I can go back to saying "I've still got a Walkman", which I technically still do, I just use the Nokia instead.
