Aug. 21st, 2008 11:13 am1. Paul W.S. Anderson defends Death Race. Yes, he remains my favorite director named "Paul Anderson."
2. Andrew Wheeler responds to the latest SF Mind Meld. My god, it's full of snark.
3. A D&D game on Facebook!
4. A black velvet Wesley Crusher. Proof that John Scalzi is made of evil.
5. Feedly is an interesting twist on a typical aggregator -- it works with Google Reader, Twitter, and other services to provide a magazine-like start page as a Firefox extension. Has some potential.
6. Roger Ebert on how much 3-D sucks.
7. Alex Proyas is adapting Heinlein's The Unpleasant Profession of Jonathan Hoag. I'm sure he'll do just as good a job with Heinlein as he did with Asimov.
7.5 In fairness, The Crow and Dark City remain two of my favorite films, so Proyas might remember how not to suck.
8. Gamasutra has a huge article on Atari's golden years (1978-81).
9. The next Burke book, Another Life, comes out in December. And it'll be the last. :-(
10. Finally, ever wonder how many homes John McCain owns? So does he.
