Open Thread: Linkspam 10/2/13

Time for the monthly recommendation of other blogs!  I went to the Bloggers’ group meeting at Joule again.  This time the topic was timesaving tips, such as having a calendar to remind you when it’s time to post.  One cool tip for bloggers with families is having a special article of clothing that you wear when you are blogging so people know not to bother you.  “When Daddy is wearing his Chicago Cubs hat, that means he’s busy writing about sports, so don’t interrupt him unless you’re bleeding or the house is on fire.”
