Ephemerata

Look! A links page! How very 1996 of me.

In the interest of keeping my web site a bit less cluttered than my office, I dump my random links-du-jour here. Behold what occupies my brief attention span.

My impressive curriculum vitae: This seemed funnier ten years ago. I was pretty stressed at the time.
Mike Baron's BADGER: During a brief recent run of my favorite comic book (an honor it shares with Bob Burden's Flaming Carrot), I started to compile a concordance of BADGER issues and characters, which I would work on during fits of insomnia. Now the comic's folded again, taking with it my obsessive urge to collate and index. (Incidentally, I consider "Klaus" from BADGER April 1991 to be the greatest Christmas story ever written.)
Knapweed: My mortal enemy. Though ten years of fighting it here has made a big difference.

Product placement!

I shill because I love.

Women's Bioethics Project: My wife's venture: a nonpartisan public policy think-tank addressing bioethical issues.
Northwest Orca Soaps: Gourmet soapmaking. No orca were harmed in the manufacture of this product.
Pirates of the Burning Sea: Yarrrr.
Bluebird Grain Farms: Local organic grain farm specializing in emmer. I depend on their rye and wheat flours for my daily baking.

Or maybe I just shill because they're neighbors. Whatever. It's all good.

Home Business Frontiers: Neighbors (in an across-the-drainage sense) of Bluebird Grain Farms, about twenty miles from where I'm typing.
The Mazama Lodging Association: Since I'm rude enough to squat on both mazama.net (personally) and mazama.com (professionally), the least I can do is give these guys a link here. Lodging and dining options in my back yard.
Winthrop Chamber of Commerce: Fifteen or so miles down the road from Mazama, Winthrop is based on tourism, and so offers more lodging and dining options. (This is the closest I can get to a shout-out for the Rocking Horse Bakery in Winthrop.)
Twisp Chamber of Commerce: Even further down the road than Winthrop, Twisp is the hub of regional commerce.

Online

Though I'm not much of a blogger, or even much of a commenter on others' blogs, I do follow a couple of communities.

Lambda the Ultimate: Programming languages geekerie
The Fresh Loaf: Hobbyist bakers like myself
Hit and Run: Running commentary from the editors at Reason. Gets more than a little snide/shrill (that ever so tiring blog persona) at times.
