Five links make a post

1. There's a Twilight MMO being developed. There are so many places to snark about this, it's hard to figure out where to begin.

2. Jennifer Love Hewitt is launching a new comic-book series. In case you were worried that it'd be good, don't; it's written by Scott Lobdell.

3. 69% of adults don't know what Twitter is. Maybe this is what Warren Lapine was talking about at Readercon.

4. As is often the case, XKCD gets me. As a rule, I'm very likely to not hear what you're saying because I was thinking about Batman.

5. Riley Adams (Lauren Lee Smith) will not be back on CSI this year. This will make many people -- not least of them my wife -- happy.

100% of me doesn't know who Warren Lapine is. Didn;t Steve Martin write a play about a lapine?

3. Of the remaining 31%, how many care? More to the point, is there any reason why we should care about those 69%? It's not like being unfamiliar with email or the worldwide web.

On the Twilight game, IF they reproduce some of the actual town of Forks, I'll buy it. I'd have to. How could I not virtually walk around my town, eh?

Nah; Picasso's gone someplace named for a male rabbit.

He's the publisher of Realms of Fantasy; at a panel at Readercon, he falsely claimed that 50% of the US isn't on the net (the actually number is at closer to 30, and dropping). He's also made his share of other dubious comments in recent weeks

True! If they actually get it right (as opposed to calling some generic place "Forks"), I could see how wandering around it could be awesome.

Yet. :-)

It is but one of many social networking sites, and will eventually be superseded by the next new thing.

2. If it's about her boobs, I'll read look at it.

3. What about those of us who just don't care about twitter?
