September's October's Links to Love

Well, this was supposed to be for September, but I forgot to post it before the month was over. So, welcome to October's list of links to love.

Literary:

Modern versions of famous books' titles.

Depression and writing
.

Being a writer and a parent.

Bookshelves.

Mormon:

I trust the Lord will help me, but if not . . .

Crazy Alice in Wonderland mix (I keep trying to figure out what she's saying):




These are the musicians at the Songwriters concert I went to two weeks ago:

Mowat (from Chile)

My Sister Grenadine

Noiserv

Kitty Solaris

Here is Max Mutzke's "Weg von Hier" (thanks, Francy):




Grocery store musical improv. You've gotta marvel at the guts of those people, especially the guy who starts the singing:




Silent Hallelujah chorus.


Technology:

Piano stairs--this makes me think of how when I was little, I sang sounds as I walked across the white lines at crosswalks. More of the fun theory can be found here.



Virtual autopsy.

Finland and broadband internet!

Barnes and Nobles' version of the Kindle, the Nook, allows users to share books! Now I just need to find a rich friend who buys every book possible . . .


Miscellaneous:


A friend of mine has opened a new etsy craft store.

Women would sacrifice anything but chocolate for blogging!

In parenthood, sometimes a blog is born.

Gemsweater.com. Exactly what its name says and good for some chuckles. (Thanks, Melissa.)

Yogurt love.

  1. It always takes several days, but I usually check out most of your links. Interesting stuff. You're like my Reader's Digest of the internet.

  2. I'm glad someone looks at my links. I'm sorry they're always in huge lists, but there are just so many cool things out there.

  3. I don't think Finland offering Broadband internet for free and calling it a "right" is a wise move. What else do people have "rights" to? This seems suspicious to me that a government would get into the business of offering internet access if it didn't seek to control and regulate it. Bad, bad stuff.
