I dunno, I wasn't that excited about "Lyra's Oxford," and I'm not that excited about this project, described as a "story" and a "companion" to the Oxford book. They both look like cash-in side projects, no matter how well they're done. What I loved about that trilogy was the world-building and the depth and the scope of the story. A book of maps and supplementary details presented after the fact doesn't excite me any more than JK Rowling's book on Quidditch.
Via SI: Barry Bonds won't be playing for the Giants next season. Bonds first said so online. The Giants have scheduled a news conference for 5 Pacific/8 your time, so I thought you might want a heads-up a few minutes early.
Yeah -- the only thing that really surprised me here was the timing of the announcement. After the way Bonds dicked them around last offseason, I figured they'd do their best to keep him hanging.
