Wednesday Zeitgeist

I humbly present to you the biggest Zeitgeist ever. Somewhat of a backlog of links. Some of these might be duplicates, I guess. My links are a bit all over the place.

I continue to work on my Hare-Brained Scheme(tm), it's coming along nicely thanks for asking ... and it's not that hare-brained either, I am very excited about it all. Other than that ... Mrs Android is busy as a bee on her thesis, which is not very much fun at all.

I am slightly addicted to World of Warcraft. So much fun. I've been playing with some people from work, hanging out and grinding away, killing the wildlife and collecting items.
