yendi1. Merv Giffin died. :-(
2. HBO has picked up the Southern Vampire series! Yay! So with HBO grabbing Sookie Stackhouse, and Lifetime doing a great job with the Vicki Nelson books, will Cinemax go for Anita Blake and Her Amazing Ardeur for their late-night schedule?
3. Well, the horses have all gone away, so let's shut that barn door!
4. The iTop!
5. Ken MacLeod provides a nice roundup of links regarding 21st Century Atheism.
6. For months,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
dicotomygrrl has been recommending DMZ as a comic I need to read. A trip to the Watertown library this weekend revealed that the first two volumes -- On the Ground and Body of a Journalist -- were in stock, and they were both amazing. The only other work by Brian Wood I'd read was Local. DMZ is just as good, and Wood's now on my list of authors to keep an eye out for.
7. TheSimpsons Sonics are going to Japan Oklahoma!
8. "The Brain" is a trademarked term. Enforcement on this one should be interesting, since Warner Brothers has two characters (a mouse and a Doom Patrol villain) using that name, and Bobby Heenan can probably claim it as well.
9. Decapitated Snake bites his killer! It's like the snake's really a penanggalan! Or maybe just got bitten by one.
10. Dear SCO: The sound you're hearing is just about everyone in any tech field point at you and shouting "ha ha" a la Nelson Muntz.
