JR Minkel, science writer, RIP

Rising-star science journalist JR Minkel, whose work we've linked to many times on Boing Boing, took his own life on Monday. Only 31 years-old, JR was a talented writer who covered space, physics, cosmology, and technology for Scientific American, where he was a staff writer, Popular Science, New Scientist, LiveScience, IEEE Spectrum, and many other publications. Author of the Instant Egghead Guide: The Universe, he also blogged at his own site, A Fistful of Science. JR had a knack for making complex science understandable by anyone, and his quest for knowledge, meaning, and humor shone through his writing. We send our deepest condolences to JR's family and friends. JR Minkel obituary (The Tennessean). LINK: Boing Boing

Celebrating The Books of Triond Writers From Around The World

Triond is a website that has been going for a number of years - a simple google search will find it in all its glory. It is an outlet for writers to be published online and also gives a percentage of its advertising revenue to the writers. Many who use it aspire to getting in to print on paper too - and this article by Glynis Smy highlights a number who have been successful in this endeavour.

If you are a writer and perhaps thinking of giving up because getting your work published has meant a thousand and one letters and emails saying no thanks, then read her article. Or if you have hit your head metaphorically (and possibly literally) against a brick wall in the process, most definitely read her article!

Thanks to Glynis for taking a lot of time out to research this. LINK

Top 10 Best Adam Sandler Movies

Comedian. Actor. Musician. Singer. Writer. Producer. Swell guy (probably). The sum of all these parts makes Adam Sander who he is today; a much loved and much viewed working entertainer.

He makes us laugh. He makes it look easy. There are few comedic actors when have been at the top of the box office for as long as The Sandman, so let's appreciate this multi-talented dude. LINK
