Blogathon auctions, again

All of the auctions I mentioned yesterday are up, located over here. As stated before, you'll find items by azhure, kythryne, and mnfiddledragon there. You'll also find stuff by emilytheslayer, niftybabe313, and others!

There's also a rare SJ Tucker (aka S00j) bootleg!

Seriously. Not available in stores. Or anywhere else, for that matter.

3. The secret to perfect chocolate chip cookies.

4. Jo Walton on the Singularity Problem.

5. Josh Moulin on Digital Evidence Forensics.
