[Now With Title!]

Making progress on the deadlines. Yesterday was particularly productive. I am enthused. It pleases me that I can sit down and write game stuff to a hazy outline knocked up months ago, and have it come out as something that I think is a damn good resource and an amusing read to boot. I’m trying to push myself here, not settle for something I’ve seen before, and it feels like it’s working. (Although in six months I’ll be cringing at it; that’s how these things work.)
Likewise, other work – it’s becoming increasingly clear that I finish assignments at the moment I fully understand them, and vice versa. Which is a nice realisation.

Further to the Conspiracy Guff posts of the last few weeks about the Exploding Shampoo Plot, in my web catch-up I’ve found a fantastic article at Making Light that summarises the whole kerfuffle with plenty of relevant outgoing links.
Highlights:

• El Reg points out the plot is technically unfeasible – liquid bombs are the stuff of action movies, not real world activity
• Paul Krugman in the NYT analyses how the Bush administration has used fear as a political tool throughout its existence
• Ned Lamont as target of three-minutes hate
• The Washington Post on the Bush admin increasingly avoiding all press contact and scrutiny (again, the story of this political era is the failure of the media)
• and a link to a followup article by Craig Murray, whose first article was the focus of my last post on this subject.

Check it out.
