Links of possible interest: Science! Art/Magic! Scrabble!

First, Carl Zimmer's Science Tattoo Emporium. A gallery of tats based in maths and sciences. There are some really lovely taxonomies here, and a couple of applications of sigil magick based on circuitry, for [livejournal.com profile] druidevo and you other people what like that sort of thing.

Second, Tools for Photography as Ritual Magic. The artist creates a unique pinhole camera for each of his photographic series, including totemic elements related to the subject of the series. Among his cameras are one built with an 'underwater' filter containing an altar to Yemaya, two which include human skulls as part of the works, one made with a piece of girder from the World Trade Center, and one which uses a solution of HIV-positive blood as a filter.

Third, and most mundane, I like to play Scrabble, and one can play Scrabble over the internet with a ranking and ratings system here. If you would like to play with me, look me up. My name over there is Orbiting. After two games, I am rated at 666. :)

Scrabble? I've been playing over here. If you want to sign up, I'd love to challenge you.

Yeah, one of the joys of the Internet Scrabble Club was that it did not require me to sign up for Facebook...

I began to register on this site, but it requires a software download.

It let me into the Java version, but says I can't use it unless I contribute, so either it's wrong, or it's going to stop me in a moment.

Anyways, I'm on there as LexPendrag. Evidently the 'on' is silent, because I wasn't observant enough to realize I was out of space in the text box until much later.
