yendiHeroes hits DVD today. No, it's not technically a national holiday. But it should be, dammit.
1. Tim Pratt has posted the first chapter of his upcoming book, Blood Engines.
2. Blue Screens of Death in the real world (thanks to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
dixie).
3. Wow. We have a director of the NSA who appears to hate the entire Constitution. Even by current administration standards, this guy's unbelievable.
4. Need to glue stuff to other stuff? Find out what works best.
5. Jeff Fahey joins Lost! And James Van Der Beek will be on Ugly Betty!
6. I'd known about the contract clause that forced ABC Family to air The 700 Club, but there's still a lot of interesting stuff in this article about the network, its history, and its handling of gay plotlines.
7. Ever stare at, say, the plastic Neosporin tote, and wonder how such a stupid thing even gets made in the first place? Chris Colin has wondered, too.
8. You can win a copy of Tobias Buckell's Crystal Rain! My mini-review of it is here.
9. Random House doesn't use their own dictionary for copyediting. Link also contains a list of compound words that Mirriam-Webster still insists on splitting.
10. Finally, I am shocked -- shocked, I tell you! -- to learn that the MPAA has turned to extortion. That's just so unlike them.
