The settlement between Google and the publishers of America makes me happy.
Ars Technica notes that it will not-so-incidentally allow Google to become a bookseller, but online and electronic only, until they figure out a DRM-y way to sell the wares. I... wonder about things like Print On Demand, instead. Did the Ars Technica writer simply not think of it, or is it that the settlement expressly forbids such a thing? It would be like a reprint, but if there's revenue sharing at no cost to the publisher, then... Hmm.

This seems worth mentionning also:
Scientists began sequencing DNA from all sorts of environments. After looking at human gut microflora, they learned that each individual has his or her own characteristic set of a thousand species. “These represent three million genes that you carry,” points out Kolter, “as compared to the estimated 18,000 genes of the human genome. So you are living and exchanging [metabolites] constantly with a diverse pool of some three million genes.” Microbiologists continue to find new taxonomic divisions of microbes far faster than they can figure out how to culture them.

"Yes, yes, I heard you the first three times," Rodney said. He was adjusting one of the ropes on John's ankles, and John couldn't see him. "Are you done fighting yet? This is 550 cord, Colonel, you certainly aren't going to break it."

Summary : John wasn’t very good at following the text. Once, there was a boy.

John leans in the doorway, all loose limbed with one hip thrust out a little. He plays with his dog tags and looks at Rodney through his eyelashes. "C'mon, Rodney."

When Rodney figures out the multiple orgasm, all of Atlantis knows about it.

"In our culture," John told her with an aggressive absence of inflection, "changing someone's gender without asking permission is consideredimpolite."

Citywide genderfuck, hijinks and awesomeness ensue. The men spend the entire meeting trying not to stare at each other's tits and failing miserably.

Atlantis welcomes John with open arms, but she’s not what he needs.

Rodney stirred beside him and then moved into a full-body stretch, arching his back before sinking back down on the bed with a blissful sigh.

My real feeling is that traditional publishing has an audience and exists because change doesn’t happen overnight. However, it does happen and has been happening around us for quite some time.

Rodney raised his arms above his head and yawned audibly. “What happened?” he asked. He opened his eyes, and John saw that he had been transformed even more than Elizabeth. Gone was the padding at his jaw line—his whole face and frame looked th

(Dark Side Challenge) “What happened? It got dark.”The sound of John’s sigh seemed a lot louder in the pitch black of the windowless room. “Yeah, I kinda noticed that. What I mean is,whydid it happen?”“I would be able to figure that out

He has a list - a small database, really - so he's not likely to forget

Rodney isn’t the same person who stepped through the Gate into the Pegasus galaxy; since he believes in the Infinite Worlds Model, he actually doesn’t believe he’s the same person as he was when he decided to have cereal for breakfast instead of o

Rodney doesn’t know when he became the kind of person who has silent conversations with people, who recognizes subtle shifts in mood by the line of someone’s shoulders or the exact way they sigh. He compares it to pattern recognition in complex math

John knew he was in love with Rodney way before Elizabeth died. He takes it personally that his life story has to include the motif love equals death, because John loved Elizabeth, too, for her optimism in the face of insurmountable odds, for her affect

It makes *me* like sports. That says a lot, right there. <3 John slouched around for three days, pissed at Mitchell. He printed out the email and folded it up and shoved it in a pocket of his tac vest, even though their stash of Laser Jet paper wa

The circus that is sg1 team on hols = funniest shit. Cameron Mitchell had -- yeah, had offered John a weird sort of friendship, and he'd watched John carefully and helped John stay standing when John forgot that Earth was not Atlantis, when Earth b

Powerful, romantic, funny, HOT. After the briefings and the medical exams and the embarrassing ordeal of borrowing clothes from Cadman, there’s nothing left to do but go on with life as usual, especially since Elizabeth’s grounded the two of th

Rodney’s gaze darts from John’s eyes to his mouth and back again, and then they’re coming together slowly, so slowly, breath mingling first, lips millimetres apart. Rodney’s hand comes up and covers John’s breast, thumb scraping over a nipple
-
John wasn't entirely sure how this whole...thingbetween him and Rodney worked, but he didn't think he should show any weakness. That would probably be a turn-off, and John really wanted another chance with Rodney. He really wanted to get Rodney into a l

"I'm not going out there until I look hot," Rodney says. "I was a pretty average-looking guy, but I'm like a porn star in this body. And you are going to show me what to do with it, aren't you?"
-
Sheppard grimaces and the tips of his ears turn red. "You have pretty hair," he blurts out.

Rodney crosses his arms over his chest. He'd learned early on to do itoverthe breasts, because doing it under made any man in the immediate area go entirely stupid. "We can play chess," he says. Then he lifts one finger. "In a public place. Lord knows I

John and Rodney, at odds with each other. And an ancient bath house in Atlantis (Amnesty Challenge). "A dry well in Atlantis." Rodney folded his arms across his chest and glared at Corrigan. "Now there's a brilliant thought.""Reminds me of a water

Much love for Lenore, making hotness and tenderness out of pure silly. Oh, FIC. :-) Rodney threw up his hands. "I'm horny! Impossibly, unbearably, unremittingly horny. Like I've never been horny in my entire life. Because apparently that old wives

John chooses to live. The look of happy surprise on Rodney’s face is warm and honest, andJohn thinks maybe it isn’t too late to make a different choice.
-
“It’s like Atlantis is trying to tell me something.”John’s speaking slowly and carefully, words being meted out likerations. “It’s like a hum in the back of my brain. At first it was onlythere at night—while I was sleeping—but now it’s

"You can’t have it both ways, Colonel. If you haven’t had anyrelationships, either you’re having the occasional one-night stand oryou’re not having sex at all.”

John as black-clad superman? Yes, really. "It's not okay. Do you know how many other papers have scooped us by now? Our front page carries Gary Kavanagh's searing exposé of mild corruption in the city water department, while the front page of ever

"... which was horrendous, of course," Rodney's saying as they step into a transporter. "Oh, and that was before I took the opportunity of bitch-slapping Chaya, anyway, you want something from the mess?"

"It might help if you were to wear yours while you present the idea to the science team, Rodney," Elizabeth says. "To show your support."

Then the lights dipped low, blinked twice, and god yes a blowjob. John was on his knees before the door was open, burying his nose in new musk and strong legs. Oh yeah, he could go for more dick like this, uncut and foreign and long, already leaking f

Part of a series, but this is the one I meant to hilight. John-the-slutty-rentboy gets a dream evening cum special contract for public, many people-sex, orchestrated by Rodney-the-rich-and-infatuated. Very good, very porny porn. :-)) Rodney looked

grasping moss! "So you're saying," said John, "this doohickey is an orgy calculator?"
-
"Just me and Doc, trying to do science." And okay, it was an old joke, but John went for it anyway. "Yeah, I was thinking Back to the Future. Whaddya think?"John never saw a lot of things coming, not just people trying to make out with him. But this

John is slightly oblivious... I loveLOVE this one. The phone rang. John made a face at it. It rang again, and John picked up because he couldn't find the volume button to make the noise less obnoxious. When he brought the receiver to his ear, s

“Howdo you keep winning?”“By being better than you?” Sheppard suggested.

Once upon a time, or something like that, there was a very brilliant (and slightly odd-looking) man known as Rodney McKay. He was in his thirties and still lived at home with his parents, much to their mutual annoyance.(He would have moved out, but back

"I swear to God, I hate those fucking Ancients," John snarled.

“Why are you carrying that ugly bag?” asks Ronon, poking at the canvas satchel Rodney finally found last night in a trendy chain store named something appalling like “American Navy”.“Dear god, did they seriously put you in denim? Please tell

CWRPF - J2, Tom Welling/Michael Rosenbaum, Chad Michael Murray/Jason Dohring, Amanda Seyfried/Kristen Bell other pairings mentioned. AU wherein CW celebrities grow up together and spend a summer away at camp. Complete and total crack. ~5,300 word

I love fangirls and their crack-y productions. Story index located here for handiness factor.

When the king's guards return Colonel Sheppard to them, he's wearing a collar. He's alsostoned out of his mind."Oh, crap," Rodney says, "not again."
-
Perfect, with an OFC (SHeppard's kid) that enver fails to make me grin. "No, McKay. The question is, with that charming personality of yours, what woman is going to give you the time of day." She laughed and slid off his desk. "Got to go. Loads to

This one leaves me blinking tears, heart thudding, grinning - every time. He's been in the military long enough to knowthat guys console themselves with booze, fighting, and getting off—andJohn's never been one for drinking or fighting. So he isn

Rodney is a Mountie, John Does Math, Zelenka is at his most charming and I even love Beckett. Multiple pairings, aliens almost make them do it, it's awesome through and through. When Rodney McKay first heard about the Stargate from a tipsy Czech, h

He grabbed his laptop, grabbed his other laptop, and headed for the conference room. "Coffee," he said. Zelenka looked at him, sighed a little, and handed over a tin mug. Rodney drained it in three gulps, winced at the harsh flavor of it--Zelenka could

I always read this AU with pleasure. Oh, Rodney! Sleep-fuzzed and disoriented, Rodney struggles onto his back and actually gets a hand onto his belly before he realizes that there's no more comforting clack and click of keys. Oh.Oh.

A look at Ronon's sexuality - in time, culture, and actions. Ronon is big for his age, taller than most of the other boys, but it's Jaris who rules their group, Jaris who tells them excitedly about the stuff that came out of his penis, how it means
-
There are things he wants Rodney wants to know, but doesn't want to say. He's a man capable of many things, but those conversations are not among them. He never claimed he wasn't ever a coward.

"Wonderful," Rodney says. "Why don't you come back over here and help me pick out something to stick up your ass, hm?"
-
(masks and masquerade challenge) John grinned. "So McKay's attractive to everyone?"
-
"John is cock-hungry. Seriously."

"The whole world is fucked up the way the whole world is always fucked up. i'm kind of addicted to hurting them; they're so pretty when they hurt. you should feel free to think of this as an AU if it makes you feel less dirty for thinking it's hot and

I think I’ll talk out my ass a little bit about southern regional dialect(s) and how that dialect(s)/are is informed by class, social cues, and jocularity.

I'd argue that WNGWJLEO is still a popular trope even as our protagonists' sexual identities have become more open to gay or bi identities and we as audience are more willing to read them in such a way. As a result, many declare WNG a horridly homophobi

"includes hand-holding! and semi-colons!" || 950 words to tug at you just right; Teyla knits. "Well," Rodney says, desperate to change the subject. "Did you see the hat Teyla made me?" He holds it up.Sheppard looks away. "It's meant to scare off ce

Comparison between Petrelli bros and Winchester bros: rock.

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't make the dark words swimming on hisscreen come back into focus so he could read them again. "Probably. I'm just notsure of anything, actually." He shrugged.Elizabeth frowned and then just as quickly stopped. The

This isn't a cover, and it isn't even an illustration of a scene from the story . (says the author/artist) Media: watercolor and Photoshop

John is kind of a dog, and Rodney's a genius, nu. John shoved him a little and croaked "Hey!" indignantly, but Rodney just kept going.

"viewer requests: closets, frottage, up against a wall, mud (what? no one requested mud?)" || Fun AND fun, twice. Also with hot, imperfect sex. Rodney grabbed him by the tac vest, yanked him in until they were nose-to-nose, and hissed, "We aresohav

Um. Ancient/Athosian device made them do it? Post Doranda. John automatically reached out to touch it. “No,” Teyla said quietly, and John drew back. This was usually the part where Rodney cursed John creatively and at length for his stupidit

A missing scene from Skintight in the "skinverse". Lovely take on the distracting power of want. Rodney felt a wet tickle at the back of his neck, then the press of hot, damp skin. Sheppard’s forehead, pressed against the base of Rodney’s neck,

As I've said before, I do think fanfic is transgressive, but because it assumes that the underlying text is completely up for grabs; it isn't necessary to invert everything, or even change everything less than 180 degrees, to be transgressive.

At 16.23, when he couldn't stand all the stupid giggling in the lab anymore, he went out to work on his laptop on the balcony. Sheppard was there. Didn't he ever do any work?"I swear to god, if you start telling me how many people in Atlantis have a sec

A delicious take on a Three Laws issue, like classic Asimov, but with a great classic (should I say oldschool?) slashy take. Oh, SU-3! Sue didn't say anything for a long while, and then finally, in a slightly husky and deepened voice, said, "I cann

"And then you ran out into the sunlight and caught onfire," Sheppard added. "Ronon had to beat you out with his coat.""I'll expect a new one," Ronon rumbled, and adjusted his grip on Rodney's ankles. He heard the last chevron click into place and the w

Teyla and Ronon agree to accompany Matock back to some boring cultural thing while Sheppard gets stuck with scientist duty. Which is to say, he gets the job with the really cool huge alien space guns. The whole rooftop is covered with them, spread out

The sequel to Second Skin, which is one of my favorite stories ever. This time they're on Earth for a spell, and it's an opportunity to try new things...

Of course, the people of M3Q-754 had slightly different reasons for agreeing with him. Rodney opened his mouth again, then closed it abruptly. People often accused him of lacking a filter between his brain and his mouth. Those people were just idio

John ducked his head and rubbed his thumb over the jut of Rodney's hip. "It's soft.""Oh my god – ""I can nap on it," John explained." – you're possessed."

Aliens make John dress up. Again. Slight hints of D/S and breathplay. Set in the 'Second Skin' universe after 'Skintight'. “Rodney. It’s okay. Come on, help me out, okay?”“I -” Rodney stood there helplessly, the corset-thing dangling from his

Summary: Oh no! Stuck in a artic-y cold tundra-like wasteland! What ever shall they do? *grins*

An awesome long ot4 with a John slightly slow in the head. Poignant in places, the sex is hot, I love the team. The next time an alien princess tried to seduce him, he laughed in her face.The time after that, he just raised an eyebrow and said, "Yo

Cultivating Burning Desire;
30 days to success;
and the astonishing take the red pill - all of those I should really write about rather than simply link to, if I am to declutter the ol' brain more efficiently...
Not as interesting, but here because I (also) have something to write someday about the virtues of simplicity and the unsung hypnotism inherent in reading (coupled with the more readily known power of narratives), and because I really wanna close tabs, this 'let's imagine' exercise from lifehack.org about the simplest path to success. And last, at Slow Leadership, Letting Go, Letting Be and Letting Through, which I seriously need to heed.
Well, that's a few tabs closed, anyway.

The interview could be more interesting... The real kicker here is the picture: did you guys already know that on top of all his sexy, dharma, GTD, jedi trick-turning mind, Merlin is hot? Damn him.
