I thought I'd try and work-around Twitter's abduction of my tweets by subscribing in Google Reader. Unfortunately that seems to have stopped working a week ago. Seriously worried this isn't accidental breakage.

SCARECROW MAINTENANCE
by Brent Raycroft
The old man’s itchy greatcoat fell to me
and given his complaint of its intransigence
I landed on the notion of storing it in the open.
Now that he can’t feel the elements
why not put this remnant of him in them?
There’s acid in the rain enough, enough UV,
that what outlasted him may not outlast me.
Get a pole and cross-pole. Fix them together.
Fence wire, screw nails, duct tape, whatever.
The less seen of this part the better.
There’s no need for carpentry. Let him be
haphazard. Let him fail in a high wind,
collapse with the weight of a cloudburst.
He should need maintenance.
When the pumpkin rots it’s shocking. Try a
punctured soccer ball. Or a mask from art class.
When the straw hat’s gone, tack on a baseball cap.
When you find him flattened by some enemy,
reach your arm beneath his backbone,
thin within the war-green wool, and heave.
Stamp your heel down hard where he is planted.
Crows come regardless.
Deer and rabbits act as though he’s harmless.
But I’ve seen men and women startled.
I’ve backed into him, hoeing in the garden,
felt a poke between my shoulder blades.
He’s got hypervigilance. Low-level PTSD.
Those sleeves held wide show no sign of fatigue.
The girls each did their 300 minutes for summer reading (technically Gracie did 600 minutes, as she was the one who did most of the reading to Mary Ellen), and earned their summer reading t-shirt! Also the children's librarian likes me and so she gave me one too. We'll be tie-dyeing them in a few weeks.

In his second novel, Ilko Minev takes his readers back to the Amazon of the 1960s, where Benjamim Melul, grandson of a once powerful rubber baron, pursues his dream of reviving the glory days of Brazil’s early 20th-century rubber boom.
He and his wife Nina move to the family’s abandoned plantation deep in the Amazon, near the border with Bolivia.
They are joined in their adventure by a young couple, Adriano and Maria, both denizens of the forest. After five disappointing years of hard toil and little profit, the two couples are preparing to return to civilization with their young families when tragedy strikes, leaving the green-eyed cabocla Maria alone and with three small children to care for.
Fighting to survive in one of the most isolated, inhospitable corners of the world, she eventually lands in the rough prospecting garimpos of the Amazon, where she first works for Dona Sandra, madam of a brothel, and then for Oleg Hazan, a Bulgarian immigrant determined to strike it rich mining for river gold.
Readers of Minev’s first book, As Flowers Go, will recognize the protagonists Licco, Oleg, and David, who transport us even deeper into the magical Amazon on this second journey.
About the author:
A typical baby-boomer, Ilko Minev was born on May 3rd 1946 in Sofia, Bulgaria. He grew up during communism in Bulgaria. Minev realized that there was no future for him in his homeland. His faith brought him to Brazil, where he met the love of his life. He became a writer at the age of 66, after he retired from his business career in 2012. Apart from the fact that he has been a resident of Manaus, Brazil for 40 years and feels like a native Brazilian, he is still very influenced by his Jewish-Bulgarian roots. His novels address some historical events, which occurred in the writer's life, but their importance has never been well known by the general public. Through his literary works Minev transcends nationalities and is a true citizen of the world. The author has so many real stories to tell, that he barely needs relevant doses of fiction.

To view in stereo, sit 2-3 feet from the monitor and gently cross your eyes so that the two images become three. The one in the middle will be in 3d. If you are finding this difficult, you may be trying too hard. Viewing the original size is best.
when I visited a rss feed on my iPhone, it forwarded to reader.mac.com to parse the feed. I sent myself the link, and fired up Safari with a spoofed user agent string, and this is what it looked like.
so, basically, reader.mac.com handles the RSS parsing and display for the iPhone, by giving it a regular html webpage to display

"Pro reader", c'est le pseudo de ce jeune garçon, fan de trottinette et exécutant des figures que je serai incapable de reproduire sans risquer de me casser quelques os.
Il aura au moins appris quelque chose ce soir; "rider" ne s'écrit pas "reader" sauf si t'es un pro de la lecture....
"Pro reader" is the nickname of this young boy fan of 'scooter'. This boy has made amazing freestyle which I will be unable to do without breaking my bones.
This young french boy has learnt one thing this evening: "Reader" not means "Rider" except if you are a fan of books....he will probably change his nickname very soon ;-)

It's a USB stick, yes. It's also an SD card reader - handy, when you're using an antique PC with no reader built-in. It fails to claim to read 36 other forms of media that I've never heard of, it's entirely without annoying trailing leads. It just does the job it's designed for. And it's a rather nice shade of blue :)
