A Place for All My Trash
A while ago lmorchard made this: 0xDECAFBAD Accumulator.
I was so impressed with the idea of basically making your own private friendfeed or tumblr that I started playing with the idea of doing the same thing, minus all the brain work. 
It is located here. You may notice that I’m so unimaginative that
i even used his suffix of /accum.
meh.
Thankfully a fellow named Rad Geek had done all the brain work for me by creating feedwordpress.After following the simple install instructions I just added as many of my feeds as I could think of. and bam. Mine isn’t as nifty as lmorchard’s but I’m not a published author who just left Yahoo and went to Mozilla, so you get what you pay for people.
In short, pay me.
Someone?
Please…

Burst Fiction
Wow.
I saw this in l.m.orchard’s del.icio.us links and it tickled something in me so i decided to repost it here (and of course from here to friendfeed).
Check out burstfiction people, it pwnz.
I fell for hours.
This is not hyperbole. I was not in space. Not technically.
Imagine a giant sphere as thick as a planet surrounding a star with a radius that puts its inner surface at a habitable distance. Pour enough air into it to give the inner surface a decent atmosphere, and you have enough habitation space for the population of a whole galaxy. This is a Dyson sphere.
Now imagine an army of robotic construction vehicles launched to build these in advance for settlers from an overpopulated empire of Dyson spheres. Imagine these construction vehicles hunting down black holes and ripping them apart for building materials.
Now imagine this gets out of hand. That shouldn’t be a stretch.
Eventually, the whole damn galaxy is covered in giant metal scaffolding and junk. A contiguous, semirigid structure, most of it filled with air and an infinite variety of life.
In such a place, you’re bound to find doors without warning labels in your language.
“Caution, open transit shaft!” would have been so nice.
