[links] Link salad celebrates my birthday
and I are in a forthcoming anthology from the awesome Subterranean Press
on the semantics of donuts
Today is National Cancer Survivors Day — Ironically this is also my 46th birthday. And my cancer is slightly over two years old, the little bastard. (Thanks to .)
The Beauty of Paper Art — Some wow stuff here. (Thanks to .)
Creatures of the Mechazoic Era — (Via io9.com.)
Lunokhod: Reflections on a Moon Robot — Old Soviet lunar robot has new value to science.
Guided by Parasites: Toxoplasma Modified Humans — Mmm. Cat weirdness. (Thanks to .)
Toilet shot in Utah restaurant — More Second Amendment defense of essential liberties, I see. That toilet was surely a socialist Muslin. Even clueless libtard me knows what a safety is. Then again, I’ve had a lot of firearms training — which is why I dislike and distrust guns so much. I understand them too well. (Thanks to .)

[personal] Taking that midnight train
This afternoon Mother of the Child took Pas de Chat, her cat of 23 years (that is not a typo) to the vet to be put to sleep.
