I’ve been engaged to my fiance for a year and six months, but this weekend my wedding day has finally arrived. I’ll be married on Sunday and then (here’s where my similarities with Nia’s wedding day begin and end!) I won’t be around here for awhile.
My honeymoon in Hawaii will be the longest vacation I’ve ever taken, and I plan to make the most of it. I won’t be updating my blog, and even though I got some awesome guest posts submissions, I want to wait until I’m back to post them so I can moderate comments. I WILL, however, still have an Internet connection, so if you’re interested you can follow my Twitter and Instagram accounts. I’ll be posting highlights from my wedding and my trip.
With that announcement out of the way, let’s check out some cool stuff from the Internet this week. Enjoy, and I’ll see you again on June 18!
- I LOVED Bioshock: Infinite, but I respect Leigh Alexander’s ability to beautifully articulate her concerns about it. (Spoiler warning!)
- Casting Lord of the Rings, the genderswap version. Hands down, this would be the perfect cast.
- If you’re wondering how Patches’ panels went at Anime Boston, Day wrote a great recap.
- A brony Facebook community thinks it may have found the origin of the word “brony,” as it was first used on 4chan.
- Ever the voice of reason, Colette writes How to not hate Anita Sarkeesian.
- Magic: The Gathering jobs that don’t exist yet. I’m a little skeptical we’ll ever need M:TG-exclusive journalists. I mean, we don’t have Starcraft-exclusive journalists, do we?
- Hilarious. The Onion comments on the silly state of journalism by reporting on a Buzzfeed writer who resigned in disgrace over a fake article, “10 llamas who wish they were models.” Buzzfeed’s response? To make that article a reality.

I found your article on coding needs today at redwrite – even at the moment where some stupid people wants to eliminate the teaching of It from classes at school hereover. Impressed of your knowledge I wanted to know who’s behinde that author’s name, so that’s why I am here.
But to comment on this post:
I wish you an unforgetable wedding, enjoyable hawaian hollidays and – don’t think about missing the Internet, it’ll miss you :-)
Good Luck.
Thanks, and thanks for reading ReadWrite!
Wa-hey, congratulations and happy wedding :)
Hopefully the thunderstorms in NoVA hold off (if you’re getting married in the area!) otherwise, console yourself – as thousands of brides before you have – in the tradition that it’s good luck if it rains on your wedding day!
We saw the forecast, too. Luckily, the wedding is 100% indoors!
Have a wonderful wedding day and an awesome honeymoon, Lauren! :)
As for this post… I *loved* the gender swapped LOTR casting.
Glad I found out Anita Sarkeesian’s second video is up. I hadn’t been aware of that. So looking forward to viewing it this weekend.
Had to bookmark the Bioshock: Infinite article. I have the game installed. Just haven’t had the chance to play it yet (on my Nth replay of Fallout 3 with a mod that let’s me play as an anime character.)
Again; congratulations! :)
Congratulations – as a 16+ year veteran of marriage, I wish you the best for all the years to come!
Congratulations! Enjoy your long vacation/honeymoon!
