I was feeling a bit stumped for the larger environment for my local D&D campaign. I decided someone must have created a virtual planet generator. Ask, and Google shall provide!

Stress and Work
Q: How do you maintain mindfulness in a busy work environment? At times it seems there is not even enough time to breathe mindfully.
A: This is not a personal problem only; this is a problem of the whole civilization. That is why we have to practice not only as individuals; we have to practice as a society. We have to make a revolution in the way we organize our society and our daily life, so we will be able to enjoy the work we do every day.

I went on a walk at lunchtime. 😀 Hey, it’s a start!
I’ve lost my old posts. But I’ve got a backup of the posts table, so I can restore the entries at some point.

JR has just finished Eldest, and I’m looking for new titles to satisfy his reading appetite.
ALA has a list of recommendations for fans of Harry Potter. That pointed me to Dragonsinger, by Anne McCaffrey. It sounds interesting, and I like that its protagonist is a young woman.
