linkspam has too many trips this month

Third trip out of town in less than two weeks. Argh. And I don't know if it's better or not to be driving instead of flying--certainly it's cheaper. Six hours each way, though, for a half-day site visit, is a bit of a burden. Thank heavens for audiobooks, anyway, although I'll be missing book club.

Sam Miller provides some great writing advice from Clarion 2012. I like a lot of this.

I had rather forgotten about this comic, until I saw this article about Andy Capp's very long run in comics.

Outside Magazine tells the story of the marriage of two daredevils.

Seth Godin is kind of fatuous and patronizing sometimes, but he's not always wrong: You won't benefit from anonymous criticism. [Don't] punish yourself by listening to the mob.
