Take out the trash day  

Some links I've had sitting around for a while waiting to be posted (heavy on presidential politics, sorry):

1. An old piece on how the now defunct Colbert campaign might have functioned, what it might have accomplished, and how it might have affected the election.

2. Some interesting analysis of a couple of the presidential candidates' speech patterns by Mark Liberman.

3. Tyler Cowen on the next Harry Potter phenomenon.

4. A style guide for citing blogs, from the National Library of Medicine.

5. An article on the New Hampshire primary and the crisis it's facing. (AFAIK this has not yet been resolved, and it's already November!)

6. Some advice for those who are trying to do too much with their kids.

7. And I wanted to mention, before we get too far along into the month, that it's National Novel Writing Month again. If you have that great idea, you should get started now...

So how's your one-month novel going?

no one-month novels here... how about you?

I tried it once (not as part of NaNoWriMo, but as part of a sabaatical). I ended up with half a mess of a novel and no way to connect where I was with the ending.

It was instructive.
