Installed a new Firefox extension today (RetailMeNot<\/a>, if you must know), so it’s time for a restart. And I might as well clean up these tabs while I’m at it:<\/p>\n

Stanford Magazine<\/a> and the Interstitial Arts Foundation<\/a> are both looking for short stories to publish–up to 2,500 words by November 5th and 4,000-10,000 words by December 2nd, respectively. I probably have a better shot at the latter, which is likely to more receptive to genre<\/span> (rather than “literary”) fiction.<\/p>\n

I really shouldn’t be spending more money right now, but these Gamestop coupons<\/a> are awfully tempting.<\/p>\n

A fellow Viable Paradise graduate’s (not my class, but still my tribe) short story “Chrono-Girl Vs. Kid Vampire”<\/a> has been published online.<\/p>\n

The latest issue of ACM Queue<\/a> is online. Probably my last, since I didn’t renew my membership for next year.<\/p>\n

GrooveLily has posted “The Flash Point,”<\/a> another demo track from their new show Long Story Short<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Courtesy of Lifehacker, links to two things that sound cool but I don’t really need: Windows registry hacking<\/a> and a utility that clears all the “Recently Used” lists in Windows<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Viable Paradise linkage: Jim McDonald’s recommended Emergency Kits<\/a> and Elizabeth Bear et al.<\/span>‘s seriously serious Criminal Minds<\/span> fanfic, Shadow Unit<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We need some kind of toy hammock<\/a> to keep things from falling behind the corner bookshelf in the living room.<\/p>\n

More things I really don’t need: USBCell<\/a> rechargeable AA batteries, a $50 Stargate mirror<\/a>, and a $40 print of Serenity Valley<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I don’t remember why I was looking at the Superstruct Game<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Another VP alum got her poem published online at Expanded Horizons<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A great collection of photos from VPXII<\/a>–thanks, Alberto!<\/p>\n

Charity art project to fight malaria<\/a>, co-sponsored by open-source screenwriting software Celtx.<\/p>\n

Writing links from VPXII<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Researching uses for our ancient WiFi access point: Avaya\/Lucent\/Orinoco RG-1000 Residential Gateway notes<\/a> and WDS page from Wikipedia<\/a>.<\/p>\n

More from VPXII: Preditors and Editors™<\/a> and First Lines from Famous Books<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Read Free Star Trek<\/span> Comics Online<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Last but not least, Writer’s Digest reveals 28 Agents Who Want Your Work<\/a>. But that list was published in August, so they’re probably swamped with queries at this point.<\/p>\n
