Morning quick-links, morning quick-links… possibly I should get a sidebar. Dunno. Anyhow, Asian Historical Architecture is 6500 pictures of, well, Asian historical architecture arranged in an easy to browse format. Check out, for example, the Patuxai in Laos.

The BBC just announced that it was going to put its archives online, for free. Danny O’Brien has the best post yet on the announcement, with thoughts on what that might mean, and what the problems could be. I like the theory that it could be a Creative Commons project.
Today’s Monday Mashup inspiration is the classic Huckleberry Finn. It is perhaps the definitive American novel of juvenile delinquency, beating out Catcher in the Rye by a nose. (I added “American” above so no smarty-pants would say anything about Lord of the Flies. Hah.)
Huck, the quintessential youth, and Jim, the quintessential outsider, float down a river on a raft. They are not in control of their travels to any large degree, and they are willing to accept what comes as a gift from the gods. Adventures, in many ways, happen to them.
Sounds like the average adventuring party to me. Mashers, have at it!
More...Perhaps reaching new depths of geekiness here, but I added a relationship mapping feature to my local gaming Wiki. It shows how nodes link to one another; here’s Reese Beulay as a collection of boxes and lines.
This is actually pretty useful for visualizing how characters relate to one another. I’m going to play around with using it to do relationship maps for new campaigns, too.
There’s probably some clever way to use this to visualize blog connections, but I’m not sure that it wouldn’t just degrade into a black hole. Maybe I’ll play with it sometime.
