Some New Links

I've added some new links this week. For those of you with a passion for reading about home building/restoration projects, I'd encourage you to check out Houseblogs.net. They've got dozens of links to sites like The Devil Queen.

I've also added some sites that don't have anything to do with old homes or even homes in general. Sometimes you just need something that is completely different. Clublife (the blog of an anonymous NYC bouncer) and Waiter Rant (the blog of an anonymous NYC waiter) are both entertaining (if not hilarious) reading.

The Wetass Chronicles (a website documenting the world of extreme sports & other bizarre endeavors) actually served as a source of inspiration for The Devil Queen. After spending months reading about folks sailing solo around the world, mountain climbing, and what not I was feeling envious. I found myself thinking, "Damn I suck. I should be out doing something interesting with my life!" Then it occurred to me, maybe I was doing something of interest. And so, the beast was born.

Personally, I think that a major do-it-yourself home renovation qualifies as an extreme sport.
