To mark the new year, the Administrators are closing down most of 2005’s cobwebby old threads. Of course, we’ll all need something new to take their place. Suggestions?
Month: December 2005
Lurkers, Welcome!
We know you’re out there. So if you’ve never posted on MuseBlog before, at least check in here long enough to say hi.
Thanks,
The MuseBlog Gang
Poem for December 30
In case you missed it, Nancy Kangas (inventor of Ble and NOTscape, among many other Musish delights) left this on the poetry thread:

December 30th
when the library’s still open
when the mail still comes
when it’s not really a holiday
but feels like one.December 30th
when there’s still no school
when you have a few free days left
when the creeping crush of undone work
swells up slow but surely.
H*A*R*R*Y P*O*T*T*E*R
Resistance was useless.
January 2006 Muse Roll Call
Write down when it arrives, please. We haven’t thought of any nefarious uses for the information (yet)–just curious (so far).
RPGs
That’s role-playing games, for the uninitiated. And for the initiated, a way of life.
School
Happy to oblige. Though why you’d want to think about school when you don’t have to is beyond us.
Robert’s Secret Identity
Though they’d much rather spend all their time approving posts and chilling with MuseBloggers, Robert and Rosanne do have “day jobs.” As a news editor at Science, Robert has just spent the past month or so masterminding the magazine’s annual Breakthrough of the Year section. Anyone curious about Herr Administrator’s alter ego can read the section online, see a video, or listen to a podcast featuring an interview with the man himself. Bill Nye, watch out!
Happy Solstice!
Winter officially arrives at 1:35 p.m. U.S. Eastern Standard Time. Mark the occasion appropriately!
Christmas, Hanukkah, New Year’s, and Other Chilly Holidays
Time to close down the Thanksgiving thread and move forward.
Narnia
MuseBlog bows to the inevitable. Books, the movie, the BBC mini-series–whatever you like.
Triangular Sentences and Other Typographical Tricks
Quarantine them here, please, before the whole blog grinds to a halt.
Myths and Legends
Perennially popular.
Band/Orchestra/Music/Musicians
Here you go, lilbro777: a hangout for band geeks. (Only please stop saying “pwease.”)
Happy Birthday, KitKat!
It is/was December 6. Does anybody really believe she’s only 11?
Food
At last, a thread EVERYONE can relate to.
Time Change!
Robert has figured out how to fix the mistaken time stamp that’s been making it look as if Musers stay up even later than they do. Because so many of you live in the American Midwest, he’s set it to Central Standard Time (at least until Daylight Saving Time rolls around again, whereupon it will get all messed up again). Just thought you’d like to know.
December Blizzard
They say no two are alike.
Have you read The Rules?
