Really loved this engaging & exciting book. Set in a Midwest family run Chinese restaurant using The Brothers Karamazov as a template in a brilliant way. Food to die for, familial murder, racism & the American dream.
Liked The Conditional Orchestra
Using current weather conditions The Conditional Orchestra generates unique compositions for your listening pleasure.

Link: The week the open web won
Terrific article by Heather Burns, and more incontrovertible proof why blogging at your own home on the web is important:

Meadow Brown butterfly, wings closed on yarrow flower. Barassie Beach. Several other species in the dunes, failed to get photos of any.
gird of photos round a map showing where they were taken. Flor from Kilpatric braes. Bell Heather, stonewort, gypsyweed, a blaeberry, ladies bedstraw, hawkweed, wild sage & yarrow
Kilpatrick Muir Flora, walk this afternoon, overcast warm with a breeze. Quite a lot of ringlets fluttering.
