Huh. MyWOT (Web of Trust, a site reputation service & browser add-on) is still around, after having been caught selling users’ personal data several years ago.
And they still have the twisted ring logo that looks like the dream ter’angreal from that *other* WOT (Wheel of Time).
Amused that @Web_of_Trust abbreviates itself as WOT & uses a logo that looks like the dream ter’angreal from Wheel of Time
Wheel of Time fans: some background on Mazrim Taim (and a familiar looking funny photo).
One of the Sisters attending Fantine is an ageless woman known for never speaking a word that is not true. #ReadingLesMis #WheelofTime

Little-known fact: in the First Age, Mazrim Taim sought power by running a craft store, rather than becoming head of the Asha’man.
Where did you think they got their supplies for making sword and dragon pins?
On a more serious note, I’m currently reading A Memory of Light, the long-awaited final volume of The Wheel of Time. I’m about 80 pages into “The Last Battle.” This chapter isn’t just longer than a Robert Jordan prologue, it’s longer than some novels I’ve read.
“We’ll turn you from other craft stores.”
I love it! I’d been trying to think of a punchline that had something to do with that, but just couldn’t come up with anything good.
Also, seeing “ ishamael likes this” on this post made my day.
OK, back to reading…
On TumblrWow. I’ve always liked Michael Whelan’s art since I saw his first few Dragonriders of Pern covers, so I might be biased, but he was a great choice to replace the late Darrell K. Sweet on the final volume of The Wheel of Time.

Which reminds me: a couple of nights ago, I dreamed I was Rand, inspecting a military camp and learning that the Dark One’s touch had destroyed all the coffee. ALL the coffee. And I/Rand immediately decided, “That’s it! We’re ending this NOW! Last Battle, here we come!”
Stayed up waaay too late last night reading The Gathering Storm. I’m about halfway through. There are some definite “Oh, &*^%!” moments in there. For now: more coffee.
The Wheel of Time finale, “Memory of Light,” is so long that Tor is splitting it into 3 volumes, the first going on sale November 3, 2009.
So much for the promise that it’ll be a single book even if you have to carry it around in a luggage cart.
Funny how easy it is to spot a cover by Darryl K Sweet. It makes me want to mash up Xanth, WOT, and every other fantasy series he’s covered
