Enter the Octopus receives a review copy of Green — Unsurprising, since I sent it to him…
James Gurney quoting dioramist James Perry Wilson — Another one of Gurney’s fascinating posts on art and illustration, which I find highly applicable to the processes of fiction.
100 cereal box covers — The wallpaper of our childhoods, at least those of us who grew up around supermarkets — e.g., not me. (Snurched from Found in Mom’s Basement.)
Building a 1:1 scale model of a spaceship — (Snurched from Dark Roasted Blend.)
The science of fiction — …for the first time in history there is now scientific evidence that reading fiction really does have psychological benefits. (Thanks to ![[info]](http://stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small}
gauroth.)
SMS: Save my language… — Language geekery by way of text messaging. Interesting confluence of culture and technology. (Thanks to brendacooper.)
Israeli PM Ehud Olmert Claims to be Able to Order Bush Around — Interesting stuff, if true. The fact that the claim even seems credible is a tragic comment on the Bush administration. Admittedly, one tragic comment in a thundering chorus of Republican tragedy, but still…
Countries that will miss George Bush — They forgot Palin’s “real America” on this list. Which is to say, the part of America that thinks economic collapse is a good thing so long as taxes go down, that torture is a patriotic value which strengthens our national character, and that the only amendment which matters is the Second.
