Took off for home at lunch in an attempt to salvage part of the day and got a pretty significant amount of work done. Actually, I'm usually more productive at home than I am at the office because there aren't as many distractions. If I didn't think I'd get fired for it, I'd work from home all the time. Also, I came across the Indie Next List. I had no idea anything like this even existed, but apparently the American Booksellers Association puts out a list of books that are, for the most part, a little bit off the beaten path and recommended by independent book stores. Sweet. I'll definitely be watching this list, because I love me my indie bookstores. And if you happen to be as fascinated as I am by real world companies built off gold-farming and item trading in virtual worlds like World of Warcraft, Wired has a terrific article about the fall of the biggest company in the business. Keyword of the day: I get about one or two hits a day from people looking for "weekly writing challenges". Anyone know of any sites running good challenges like this?
