Tuesday Link Dump

[yendi]

It's been a while since I've closed tabs. As always, there are plenty of links hitting my Twitter account and my Google Reader Shared Items.

Anyway:

1. Mike Grell on The Longbow Hunters.

2. Craig Ferguson's show this week will be devoted to punk rock. Real punk, folks: X, The New York Dolls, andThe Damned.

3. AfterElton has a great interview with Nelsan Ellis (Lafayette on True Blood).

4. One of my freebie online games, Skyrates, is about to undergo a reset (which will put everyone back to the same stating point). So if you're looking to get into a sky-island-air-combat-trading game, this is the time.

5. Paste Magazine is offering a VIP subscription (for $3.95 a month) with DVDS and lots of extra songs.

6. Election Projection -- a blog run by a conservative member of the religious right, and one of the better crunchers of poll numbers out there -- is calling the election for Obama.

6.5 For those wondering, the three election/poll blogs that I visit daily are Election Projection, Electoral-vote,, and FiveThirtyEight.

7. Shorpy is a nifty blog of vintage photography.

8. Via Megan McArdle, he's a good site on understanding derivatives.

9. Via John Scalzi, I've learned that Marla Mason is on Twitter!

10. Finally, if you're near a Barnes and Noble, have a free cappuccino and 15% off a book.

skyrates was fun for a month or two but then got old pretty fast

I've looked at Skyrates before, probably at your instigation. It looks like fun, but I've been fooled before. Your honest opinion?

I wonder if Ferguson knows Martin Millar. They seem to have similar interests and writing styles. Plus they're both from Scotland and I bet everyone from Scotland knows everyone else...
