still no sleep

BoingBoing linked to Opportunitygrrl today. Which is almost as good as them linking to spiritrover. No accounting for taste, I guess.

Speaking of, spiritrover is the #1 google hit for 'spiritrover'. That isn't new. But it's now the #19 hit for 'spirit rover', pushing out a lot of hard science for one mediocre joke. Excellent.

And check out the following quote from here, in reference to spiritrover: I really like the fictional-LJ genre. Or maybe I mean medium. I don't read any of them regularly, 'cause I've got enough time sinks already, but I enjoy them when I come across them. Hmm, too bad the Hugos don't have an "Other Forms" category.... I'm quite sure this is the first someone has even offhandedly suggested a new Hugo category should be created just so one of my creations could be nominated.

In other news, I've been developing an tic in my right lower eyelid over the last few days. I hope it makes me look evil.

Actually, it seems pretty sensible to me (though I'd have liked to see links to both). Opportunity's been updating more often, and her personality comes through more clearly in one perky little babble, whereas you have to read a few short terse grumbles to start getting the hang of Spirit. So Opportunity's more sound-bytable.

I think Ms Gement got it pretty much dead-on.

But I've never considered Cory to have a lot of taste anyway.
