The Ironwolf Tumblelog!

A tumblelog is a place for short, stream-of-consciousness links to various web pages, images, videos, or text snippets I’ve found interesting or amusing, but which don’t merit much further commentary. It also exists because after researching a particular topic of interest, I’ve often found myself with dozens of open tabs that I don’t really want to bookmark in my browser, but do want to have some record of— in case I ever want to remember what I was doing instead of the more important things I should have been doing.

Oh, and the tumblelog also incorporates the RSS feeds from my Twitter account, which in turn includes links to my blog posts. So if you want a single RSS feed that covers all three, go for this one.

That About Sums It All Up

I’ve written about our beloved f—uck word before. Fuck is a great word, so I try to reserve it for times when it really matters. Of course, there have been many times in history where truly, The Word was the single most appropriate. Satirical cartoonist Martin Rowson has compiled 67 of them into his new book: Fuck: The Human Odyssey. There is an online gallery of the book you can visit. Below are some of my favorites.
