Side by side with some coverage of the latest TeacherLine project (Peer Connection — more postings on that later, I’m sure) was a blurb about Mrs. Burk’s Simplified Fractions Rap posted to TeacherTube. I wanted to give big ups to Mrs. Burk for keeping it real.

Well, ’tis the season for getting back on that horse. I have been away from the site for too long, a perennial habit of mine is neglecting things I love.

So by way of getting going again, I recommend checking out the several book reviews I added to the library. I have managed to pick some really good books this Spring/Summer. They have kept me thoroughly amused during my commutes into La Cite des Crystals.

And I’m glad to be able to link to Brian’s revived website, on which he has resurrected his magazine Puck as a weblog. He gave some great coverage to my project in process, exQorpse, which I will post about again in the near future. For now, check out his coverage and also all the other stuff rattling out of the Vault of BCC.

If the image above doesn’t stir any feelings of nostalgia or awesomeness deep in your soul, then you should definitely read Brian’s History of Permeable Press, which was one of the big little indy presses that made the 1990s so much fun for fiction. Well, maybe “fun” is the wrong word… Read the story and let me know what you think.

I’ll be working on something special for Puck, and also trying to get back into the swing of things.
