Since you have all kindly chimed in on the topic of fic vs story and comment vs feedback, here are some fun things in return.
Bonus gaming: I just finished playing
Little Inferno and enjoyed it immensely. I played it on
the iPad (see review), but I think there's a PC version as well as a Wii-ish version.
Bonus music:
Boston vs the Black-Eyed Peas, "I Got More Than A Feeling". From
Best of Bootie 2009. The sort of fun I'm looking for when I look for mashups.
Even more music: My favorite trance broadcast is
Aly & Fila's Future Sound of Egypt, now available as a free podcast on iTMS. Nothing too abstract or tech-y here, just the mostly-uplifting trance sound they are known for. Good work music.
Bonus programming:
Eloquent Javascript is the one book to read if you're looking for one book on the world's-most-used programming language. Pair with
Project Euler if you ever wanted to get going with programming but had no clue how to start.
Bonus reading: My train reading just now is KJ Bishop's
The Etched City. So far thumbs up.
