Our Acceptance Speech →
Because ficlets is all about storytelling, I let the community come up with the bulk of this little acceptance speech, but before that, there are some people I have to thank, because without them, there would be no ficlets to write. First, Kerry Parkins and Bert Arians for letting us do the experiment that became ficlets. Then, the awesome team that actually built the thing: Jason Garber, Ari...

A great look into a truly large scale Rails app. Looks like memcached, master-slave MySQLs and lots and lots of mongrels are the way to go. Saved By: Kevin Lawver | View Details | Give Thanks Tags: rubyonrails, scaling, memcached, mysql

CBC Radio3 Podcast →
Best music podcast ever. Great stuff in every show. This is the reason I’m not a Canadian indie junkie (see recent purchases of everything from Arcade Fire and Broken Social Scene to New Pornographers, Rheostatics and Wintersleep).
Six Word Monster →
(I’m going to do several because I have the room) Monster back there? Oh crap! RUN ! Born in Arizona, Grew up everywhere. Lots of fat around my middle. Lives the web, breathes the web. I love bacon. It’s a vegetable! I love music piping through headphones. I hide the sadness with laughter. Food smells good when I’m hungry.

The Cat in the Pack →
Howard took the teen’s stunned silence and kicked as hard as he could, launching the teen assassin and her feline master into the children’s section. She landed in the story circle, unconscious, the cat trapped beneath her, mewling for a rescue that wouldn’t come. Howard wasn’t dead. He swore under his breath and picked himself up, wincing at the knot in his back caused by the fall over the cart....
Bellow, the Hero →
Howard ripped off his tweed jacket, turned quickly towards Kristin and said quietly, “I’ve always loved you.” Before Kristin could respond, he ran towards the kid with the date stamper, practically bouncing through the stacks. He grabbed two large hard-bound poetry collections (Dickenson and The Greatest Sonnets of The 17th Century), vaulted a cart and heaved both at the teen, screaming, “We make...
Clarence, Faster Than Sparrows →
“I am not like the wind; I am the wind. I am faster than a team of horses, more fleet than a sparrow. I can go anywhere, be anything. I am flight.” “You’re on a bicycle, Clarence, and you can’t ride that contraption in the mud or anywhere but around the track. And that hat is downright silly. What is that thing supposed to do anyway?”, Thomas wiped the grease off his hands and snickered as he...
