New to the site? Welcome!

You might be interested to know that there's two different kind of posts on this blog: "Thought of the Day" and "Normal". The "Thought of the Day" category is a once-a-day random tidbit, usually a funny video or picture, and the "Normal" is just what you'd expect from a blog like this:

Unicorn-Butterfly Soup.

p.s. the subscription options to the left (psst! <---- that way) reflect the same content options

Goodreads Widget

Something I found would be interesting, and asked Otis of Goodreads if it would be possible…

A widget for blogs (and other sites), using Javascript and the Prototype Library, that searches for authors and books, and attempts to reference them… instead of forcing you to link them yourself.  This would have been useful here.

Otis has created an API method for me to send queries to (will be available later tonight), and I’ll be using Javascript to look for “tags” in the text.  Two examples:

  • [author:terry goodkind]
  • [book:sword of truth]

Which would turn into direct links (or the closest match), spat out by Goodreads, to Goodreads.

I’ll be starting (and hopefully finishing) it this weekend.
