From the SilverKris Lounge in Changi Airport
Here are this week’s links, stripped down as I have to get on a plane soon:

Sorry for the lack of descriptions, they’ll be back next week 🙂
What do you think? Anything good in there? I really enjoyed #11, particularly because I have been lucky enough to work with my own creative twin.
We’re going to have an exciting (well, exciting for me at least) announcement on Thursday, so stay tuned…
No book links this week either, except that I still really don’t like The Girl in the Spider’s Web, which is an appalling attempt by another writer to continue the excellent Millenium Trilogy. It’s kind of like if I had decided to continue The Lord of the Rings or something. Slightly earnest fan fiction. Avoid. I should finish it on the flight but don’t expect it to get any better.
Changi is one of the few airports where the regular areas are so nice that lounge access is not really much of a benefit.
I hate to be that guy, but can you fix the links so that we don’t need to copy and paste them into the address bar?
Done! Sorry about that, I didn’t notice the links weren’t live.
I really don’t like Changi. My wife is allergic to the carpet they have everywhere (why have carpet in an airport???) and I absolutely hate their system of putting the security check at the gate (messing up the timing for boarding and taking my water that I wanted to drink on the flight). Incheon on the other hand was great.
