Wednesday linkfest
Here’s the good stuff I’ve found recently:
- How the ideas for Raiders of The lost ark were developed. The transcript of conversations between Speilberg, Lucas and Kasdan for the plot and characters for Raiders of the lost ark. There’s a well written analysis as well as a link to the actual transcript.
- The mark of a minimalist blog. Some good examples of how less is more. I think everyone knows this instinctively, but can’t resist how tempting it is to add more.
- Writing for a living: joy or chore? Nice list of short interviews with writers who answer the question.
- Serious problems at nations airports. Anyone who flies knows how silly the security procedures are, but this report captures on video airport workers getting in without security checks. It’s certainly not news, but a better read on all this is this essay at the Atlantic on airport security as theater.

That Writing for Living thing has 2/9 women. The guardian can do better than that. 🙁
Yeah, perhaps I should write in and complain 🙂
