1. Peter Watts on Carpenter's The Thing, Cancer, and evolution.

2. Do not, whatever you do, let Yahoo -- any "branch" of it -- have access to your credit card info.

3. Want even more daily art? Over at his non-LJ blog, [livejournal.com profile] badlittlemonkey is posting a new drawing on a 3X5 index card each day.

4. The Hardball Times analyzes the best outfield arms of 2007 (and I have to admit that I was surprised that Beltran didn't come in higher). The note about Andruw Jones being more feared than accurate should give Jason Stark lots to write about.

5. Amazon's Deal of the Day is Driver: Parallel Lives for the Wii for $14.99 (50% off).

6. Although I certainly don't always agree with Scoble (and I think he screwed up big time in the Plaxo/Facebook kerfuffle), he's got a damned fine point about Facebook's reaction.

7. Walrus Angels are heretical!

8. There's a sequel to The Graduate (the novel, that is) coming out tomorrow? Not sure if I want it, or should run screaming from it.

9. PSP Owners can now use Skype.

10. Finally, updated weekend posts of note (for those what missed them):

A. Yendiopolis can still use more residents.

B. This post not only links to the Fucking Short version of The Big Lebowski, it also has a link to what happens when networks try to air the movie without the best words.

C. My thoughts on Skidoo. Also see [livejournal.com profile] montykins liveblogging of the movie here.

D. I love all of your suggestions for I Am Legend sequels.

E. And for those looking for active Amazon deals, this post has them.

Whoa! Thanks for the entirely unexpected shout-out, Adam. Now I've got even more reason to make sure I keep up with this little project. :)

I'll have to keep an eye on my site stats and see what happens once The Yendi Effect kicks in!

The Hardball Times piece is interesting and damn straight they're right about Cuddyer.

But I've never ever heard Michael Cuddyer referred to as "Mike Cuddyer" anywhere by anyone. It just looks freakish to me and kept giving me pause. (And you know I follow the Twins to a ridiculous degree). Weird.

You're on the Read-It-First maillisting, right?

HOME is the current posting if you want help deciding. I haven't checked it yet, but the e-mail is still in my box.
