Richard Armitage Legenda 101: Stuff worth reading

[Legenda offers a brief, non-inclusive index of stuff about Richard Armitage that I noticed and enjoyed since the last episode. It doesn’t usually include materials presented on the major fansites, which I love dearly, but which are linked in the sidebar. Because I always forget or just miss stuff, please add additional pieces of interest via link in the comments.]

• What can you learn from blogging?

Dwarves, according to Graham McTavish

OT, contexts, collateral attractions, and things I think about

• Stephen Hunter’s (Bombur) got a new movie. Congratulations!
• Tanni’s latest: Adam Brown as Napoleon.
• Now anyone can send you a DM on Twitter. Similarly, now all FB entries are supposed to be searchable (you can’t hide that you have one anymore). As social media take on more and more of the annoying features of landline telephones … will people find other solutions?
• Does the amazing mass of data generated by Google et alia mean that the traditional rules of statistics have been superseded? Will data overflow end the scientific method (hypothesis testing)?
• Canada will possibly end the practice of cable bundling.
• Papaya salad and being in the day as a hedge against melancholy.
• Pumpkin goat cheese alfredo. I’m a sucker for anything with fresh sage in it.
• Fan campaign against Charlie Hunnam said to have caused his separation from upcoming film adaptation of 50 Shades. Causing Xenia to worry. Xenia, I think Armitage’s base salary is probably well above $125,000, which is what Hunnam was getting. I hope it is, anyway.
• Blast from the past! Our beloved Skully returns with a post on what she’s been watching since Spooks ended.
• How you know you live in Senegal.
• Louis Vuitton logo overexposed.
• The blogger pecking order and why we write. And the same thing here, under Rule #16.
• Historical novels about Anne Boleyn (or Katharine Parr) and narrative conventions.
• Brief history of the Cumberbatch craze.
