yendi1. What's the current state of music/MP3 blogging and take-down notices from the RIAA? Not good.

theferrett nails it, as he so often does.
3. Over at The Whatever, John Scalzi has tons of funny political lists.
4.nihilistic_kid writes on his work as a term paper artist.
5. King of the Hill has been cancelled. Mind you, I haven't watched it regularly since season 2 or 3, but I'm still kind of surprised.
6. The original ending of Little Shop of Horrors (aka, the version from the stage show) has leaked online.
7. The Addams Family, the Musical! If it captures the spirit of the first two movies, I'll be happy. If it's like the awful made-for-TV movie with Daryl Hannah, I'll be morally obligated to castrate anyone involved in the project. And no, I don't know how they can base it on the cartoons and not the tv show or movies and still expect anyone to care, unless they change the name.
8. JMS is writing a remake of Forbidden Planet. I bet he first fifth will be okay, the middle three fifths will be incredible, and the final fifth will be sucktastically awful, and excused as being the studio's fault.
9. Iron Chef America, the game! Yes, the site has an animated Cat Cora, Alton Brown, and Mario Batali.
10. Finally, a number of writers answer the question is science fiction is responsible for the lack of public interest in space exploration?

Somewhere along the line it lost it's edge. Every now and then they do a good one but the rest of the time it's just sort of 'eh'.
