This has been something of a busy week for me. I’d go through it all, but it’s mostly been a week of tilling, and of planting, and of gardening. Both literally and metaphorically. I have some time now when I am working on a number of projects, but relatively free of deadlines — something which will, I think, actually help things a great deal. When you’ve got deadlines to deal with, you’ve got to deal with them, but you can’t really set a deadline on gardening. Things grow best in their own time. The fruits should be coming soon; in the meantime, I’ll just say that my sojourn in Denver was lovely, and that the APEE panel on Free Market Anti-Capitalism earlier this week went well, that APEE was, in general, a good time, and that it was really fantastic to meet up with Roderick, Gary, Sheldon, and Steve. I’ll have more to say, soon, I hope. It’s getting warm here in Vegas, and I’m trying to catch the last few weeks of pleasant spring warmth, before the long, hot summer begins; once that happens, I’ll be looking forward to spending some more time in the shade indoors, getting work done on the Fair Use Repository, the Southern Nevada ALL distro, and a number of other projects that will take some quiet time in the scriptorium.

That’s my shamelessness for the weekend. And you? What have you been up to this week? Write anything? Leave a link and a short description for your post in the comments. Or fire away about anything else you might want to talk about.

• DIY: Paper. Shawn P. Wilbur, Out of the Libertarian Labyrinth (2010-04-13). As part of the process of developing my workflow for Corvus, I’ve been trying to find the best way to handle the fairly considerable amount of scrap paper which is generated by the publishing process. Printing errors, test printings, failed experiments, unused corners and ends–all of this stuff piles up,… (Linked Thursday 2010-04-15.)

• American Unexceptionalism. cherylcline, der Blaustrumpf (2010-04-09). Chris Floyd thinks there is something troubling about Obama's latest exercise of his presidential powers: Barack Obama has ordered the murder of an American citizen, without trial, without due process, without the production of any evidence. All it takes to kill any American citizen in this way is Barack Obama's… (Linked Saturday 2010-04-10.)

Taking Wing…Once Again. Out of the Libertarian Labyrinth (2010-04-10):

It’s been an up-and-down ride for Corvus Editions, in its first, exploratory year. But a combination of my growing confidence in the general soundness of the project and my growing dissatisfaction with the options have finally pushed me to “quit the day job” at Borders, and give Corvus another year—this…

Congratulations to Shawn. Y’all get out there and buy some books.

The only thing I want out of life right now... Drunkenatheist (2010-04-10):

...is to find some sort of agorist/agorist friendly bartering network. I've been googling to my little heart's content but have found nothing outside of advice on how to begin your trek into agorism. While it is nice to find a plethora of sites detailing how one should become one with…

I think this is a really important point, and should perhaps be the next major area of development in our writing about practical agorism. We’ve got a few good how-to resources for making changes around the margin in your personal life as an individual; now what steps do we begin taking towards connecting and creating our networks?

I’ll actually probably have more to say about this myself soon. But first I need to get back from Denver. More soon, I hope.
