It’s been a while since I’ve really posted much of anything, but today’s trail of breadcrumbs has lead me through a number of interesting Wikipedia articles that I’d like to keep track of for more in-depth reading (and more breadcrumbing :) ) later.

Today’s trail started at MCA Hogarth’s LiveJournal entry here, wherein she mentions the term “uncanny valley.” And from there to Wikipedia.

A thread from the Wordpress support forums concerning the new gallery feature in 2.5 (specifically a plugin for pulling images from other posts via the gallery shortcode).

This could come in handy later on my main website.

“Follow.me” is, unfortunately, reserved, and there’s no telling when it’ll be released for registration (and may likely cost an arm and a leg once it is). Sad.
