Monday linkdump

1. Emory's public iTunes U installation has a bunch of Umberto Eco lectures (note: that's an iTunes link; it'll open iTunes on your computer).

2. Peter David explains why finding the final book in the Centauri Prime trilogy is so tough.

3. A short history of the bagel.

4. Ebert's review of Quantum of Solace won't stop me from seeing it, but it's damned funny (although he's clearly from the "I want Thunderball 2" camp of folks who were comfortable with the formula).

5. Phantom Mansion 2 is out! PM was one of my all-time favorite series of web games. Hooray for more!

6. Pen computing for the Mac! Finally!

7. Early viral marketing for 2012 (the movie, not the year).

8. Guillermo del Toro will give us a stop-motion Pinocchio.

9. The Times on The Great Books.

10. Finally, Motrin is the latest example of a company whose stupid old-media ads cost them when folks in new media areas took notice of them.

Cool on the Pinocchio one, I see GRis Grimly at Screamfest each year and he's a pretty cool guy.

Great set of links... of course the ones I really want to look at will have to wait till home.

iTunes, PM2, Viral Marketing for 2012 (the movie might be junk, but it'll still be fun!)
