Stick A Fork In It
Today is World Wide Knitting In Public Day. That means I'll be bringing my needles and wool to the F.O.R.K. Gala (as well as a rug and a book and my patient Other Half). Meanwhile, The G delivers a deliberately misguided attack on crafters. I'm slightly disappointed.
I've been reading up on D&D 4.0 and so far it sounds intriguing - particularly the "streamlining of skills" bit which was something which always frustrated me somewhat with previous editions. It didn't feel entirely intuitive that certain skills - say Climb and Tumble - weren't connected (although 3.0 introduced the idea of synergy). I understand the new set of rules have implications for magic users but as I have never been massive on magic (I think I've only had one magic-using PC), it is not such a massive thing for me. You gamers out there, what is your take? Are you going to convert to 4.0 or are you holding on to previous editions?
Finally, because I can, here's something for the easily amused amongst you (and also me).

Steven Wells writes regularly for the Philadelphia Weekly (one of our independents) and frequently insults knitters and fans of twee. I think he secretly loves both. My husband loves him and writes weird comments to his articles.

Bless him. Both your husband and Stephen Wells. I’m ambivalent towards crafts and crafters but that has more to do with my own 2nd Wave Feminism hang-ups than anything to do with crafts.
I need to write a post about that.
