This discussion threatens to derandomize the random thread. Here’s a place to conduct it, for those who want to.
Month: February 2007
Things We Like and/or Don’t Like, v. 2oo7.1
We haven’t done this in almost a year. By special request of Sweet Melpomene, who needs to vent.
Technical Problems
We’re not sure what’s going on — some glitch with the servers at our host company. For whatever reason, MuseBlog has been only intermittently available today, and it’s not clear that we’re out of the woods yet. Sorry!
March 2007 Muse Discussion
Warning! Certain to contain spoilers.
March 2007 Muse Roll Call
They’re starting to arrive. Let us know when yours does.
Computer and Video Games
By popular, or at least repeated, request.
We’ve been creating a lot of new threads lately, so this will be the last one for a few days unless something absolutely irresistible comes up.
Flamablamablous February, Part 3
Geek Chic
By now, several of you have become proud (we hope) possessors of items from Musery Loves Company. We’re curious. When you wear your Musewear in public, do you get any…you know, reactions? Comments? Funny looks? (More than usual, we mean.) What does it feel like to be the public face of the Kokonspiracy?
Hot Topics, v. 2007.2
For discussions that need to be handled with care.
Continued from version 2007.1.
Books and Reading, Part 3
Why do some continued threads have parts, while others have versions? Who knows?
Earlier threads on this and similar topics include
Books and Reading, Part 2,
Books and Reading,
Libraries, Books, and Bookstores,
and
Books.
Poems & Songs, v. 2007.1
The latest in the series. For the previous one, click here.
Muse Encyclopedia
As suggested by Capricious the great and terrible, a thread “where Musebloggers can write the name, how to pronounce, and description of an object that they ‘found’, and other Musebloggers can read it and tell them what they think.”
Post-Valentine’s Candy Sale
Rebecca Lasley didn’t finish this picture in time to post it for Valentine’s Day, but it’s too good to hold until next year. (Warning to those with dialup modems: it’s a big file and slow to load.)

Music, v. 2007.1
Do re mi fa so la ti do and all that jazz. A place to talk about music.
Continued from Music, v. 2006.3.
Animals
Wild, tame, however you find them. By special request of Red-Tailed HAWK. (Elassë-Adæl: the topic can be stretched to include crow girls. We like them, too.)
Flamablamablous February, Part 2
Firefly Fans
“Take me out
To the Black,
Tell ’em I ain’t coming back…”
For Musers who watched the the TV science-fiction series Firefly and the spinoff movie Serenity.
Happy Birthday, Abraham Lincoln and Charles Darwin!
It’s Monday: same date, same year, two great guys.
Musings (formerly Mews Nuse), edition 2007.1
MuseBlog’s online mewspaper. Um, nusepaper. You know what we mean.
Words & Names, v. 2007.1
Because you can never have too many words or names.
For inspiration, you might check the original Words & Names thread and Words & Names, v. 2006.2.
FrigidSymphony Rocks Out
And a most impressive performance it is, too. You can hear his sound file by clicking here.
It’s formatted for Windows Media Player, but Macs should be able to handle it. Note: You might want to turn down the volume first.
Turning 18
Some of the older MBers are starting to turn 18. (Amazing, isn’t it?) On the Rules page, we announce that anyone on the blog aged 18 years and up must use his or her real name in order to be identified as an adult. Some veteran MBers, however, say they would rather go on using their blognames when the time comes — partly out of concern for privacy, partly because they and everyone else are used to them.
The Administrators have discussed this matter and, as usual, have decided on a compromise. Here’s the revised policy:
(1) Newcomers 18 years old and older must identify themselves as adults and use their real names.
(2) Established MuseBloggers who turn 18 may continue posting under blognames. The “Who’s Here” page will mark them as post-high-schoolers by placing plus signs (+) next to their names.
Fair enough?
Geeks
All types. You know who you are.
Math & Math Geeks
Or “Maths & Maths Geeks,” if you happen to be British. Requested by curious and questioning, who, as you may have guessed, is good at mathematics.
MuseCast 2
MuseBlog’s irrepressible podcasters, Purple Panda and Taiwan Hippo Phan, have done it again. The February edition of MuseCast includes segments about Antarctica (sort of), a choral invocation of the Muses, wungs, and Antarctica again (sort of).
You can find it by browsing in the “kids” section of iTunes, or listen to it on the blog by clicking here.
