[Burningvoid-announce] Site Update #24: Reviews, a couple of articles and some humor

[Heather Grove]

It's that time again--time for another irregular update on what we've  
been posting at burningvoid.com.

Since the last issue, several programming-related book reviews have  
gone up:

"Planning Extreme Programming," by Kent Beck and Martin Fowler:

As well as a writers' book review:

And a quasi-review of a piece of software for writers:

StoryWeaver 3.1 for Macintosh OS X:

In addition, you'll find reviews on:

Johnston, Psy.D.:

We also posted a new Twilight Time article, on "Creating Tension in  
Roleplaying Games":

000047.html">http://seven.pairlist.net/pipermail/twilighttime/2006/

An article on "How to use writing exercises... and how not to use them":
<a  
href="http://www.burningvoid.com/weblog/epiphany/2006/09/ 
how_to_use_writing_exercises_a.html">http://www.burningvoid.com/weblog/ 
epiphany/2006/09/how_to_use_writing_exercises_a.html</a>

And a bit of humor on fashion in World of Warcraft:

Finally, not only do we have a ton more designs in the cafepress store  
in all of the topic areas, but we started a whole new line of  
entertaining designs for cat lovers called "a housecat's dictionary".  
We think you'll be amused by the cat's-eye view of the world:

We've also collected many blank journals with our designs on the covers  
into one section:
