yendi1. Olivia Munn interviews Seth Green. Yes, the combined credits take longer than the actual interview.
2. Popular Science on bad web and social media practices. Most of this is stuff we all already know, but they find some surprising ones (including a really dumb one on Google's part).
3. Rick Bowes talks about the Stonewall riots forty years later.
4. The Lie that is Bookscan (shocking, seeing as Bookscan is owned by Nielsen, a company whose television measuring methods are decades out of date and insanely irrelevant).
5. Abandoned Six Flags New Orleans years after Katrina.
6. Chris Anderson's book Free is, appropriately-enough, available for free on Google Book Search.
7. I know the runner was technically safe, but Daniel Murphy's play here is still one of those plays that you see once a year, at best.
8. Justine Larbalestier on why agent websites are irrelevant.
9. Playboy will be publishing a long-lost Nabokov novella (against the author's wishes, mind you).
10. So, that Heather Graham role in The Hangover (one of the summer's huge hits)? Could have gone to Lindsay Lohan, but she turned it down because the screenplay had "no potential." Good call, there. Oh, wait.
