Busy day, so very quick linkdump before meetings.
1. I'm finally sold on
Democracy Player as a viable video podcast/youtube platform. The current version is actually functional and fun. Also, the program will soon be renamed as
Miro, and naming a product after one of my favorite artists is a good thing.
2.
Ray Stevens, Wingnut (ganked from
Mark Evanier).
3. Sometimes, Marvel action figures suck even without making nasty gender statements. In
the Dr. Doom action figure from the upcoming FF2 movie, we see Victor revealing his Orkian origins and sucking up a puddle of water through his hand.
4. For anyone else who has read the Darren Shan books, there are a bunch of bonus stories, tie-ins, and scenes that were cut
on his website. Very cool (and he tells you where they fit in, so you don't encounter any spoilers).
5. Latest addition to my RSS feeds:
The NY Times Screens Blog, maintained by Virginia Heffernan. Damned good stuff.
6. And, as mentioned before, my RSS reader of choice is
Google Reader.
7. Ronald Moore on
the end of The Sopranos (ganked from
the discussion thread over at Making Light).
8.
Teen arrested for recording police at a traffic stop. Even less excusable than the actions of the cops is the behavior of fucktard DA Jaime Keating (always a surname that conveys integrity), who has the balls to say, "But people who do things like this do so at their own peril."
9.
Yet another (good) article on free fiction and how it affects sales (the focus here is on Cory Doctorow, Peter Watts, and David Wellington.
10.
Wireless energy!
