Links that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries …
- Massively webcomic: Grinders – Limitless Creativity – Hmmmm … definitely need to look into doing this in the new City of Heroes Mission Architect.
- Internet Micro-Fame Is A Drug – Okay, this needs to be sent to every artist, athlete, writer, actor, politician, and anyone else who achieves fame for their accomplishments. Bloggers could use it, too.
- Get That Man A Straitjacket, Stat – Yikes. Glenn Beck keeps getting nuttier. Unless that’s his way to differentiate himself from Limbaugh and Hannity (who are nutty in their own way, but without the weepiness).
- To hell with the Simpsons – Ah, frivolous use of copyright law and DMCA take-downs. Is there no geeky joy you cannot turn to hatred?
- Weed Cures Cancer! [Dude] – Is marijuana a miracle cure? No, but it’s no more ridiculous to say that it has no medical value, as Congress declared by fiat. Alas, the “War on Drugs” continues to claim its victims via zero tolerance, even among those who never take a toke.
- Review: A fantasy hero embraces his inner Mel Brooks in Krod Mandoon – I will have to watch at least one ep of this, just to be sure, but the ads for it have left me with absolutely no desire to do so — indeed, with an aversion toward same.
- Rabbi Michael Lerner: Pharaohs Can’t Celebrate Passover: Rabbi Michael Lerner
- Bye-bye, Dubai – There’s something very epic and extreme about Dubai — sort of the ultimate expression of wealth and capitalism. That makes its current collapse all the more intriguing, tragic, gratifying, and fascinating.
- Summed up – If you promise to blog about the secret once discovered, Doyce, I’ll be ever-so-grateful.
- 194 years since the great Tambora eruption [Eruptions] – But let’s be sure that we don’t frivolously waste money on that so-called “volcano monitoring.”
- Rove Attacks Obama For Praising Turkey’s ‘Secular Movement,’ Even Though Bush Made Similar Statements – So is he a Crypto-Islamicist or a Crypto-Secularist? I keep getting confused by the competing narratives. Oh, wait, I get it — the specifics don’t matter. He’s just EVIL!
- Op-Ed Contributor – Iowa’s Family Values – NYTimes.com – Family values can, indeed, be important. But they’re not what has always been touted by pundits as same.
- PETA to Pet Shop Boys: Rescue Shelter Boys, perhaps? – CNN.com – Wow. That’s pretty darned goofy.
- Will Fox Air Dollhouse’s Final Episode or Not? – E! Online – Wow. More Fox zaniness. Okay, I guess this makes sense. Bottom line: Ep 13 will be on the DVD but not on TV, but the show isn’t cancelled. Yet. Clear as mud.

Dave, where are you getting the info that Epitaph One will be on the DVD? All that I have read says that it will *not* be on the DVD since FOX doesn’t want to pay to do the end production/editing of it to get it on the DVD.
Well, that certainly seems to be what the linked-to article says. “The 14th episode, “Epitaph One,” was produced and paid for by Fox the television studio. It was never ordered, requested or paid for by Fox the television network, and Fox the television network will not be airing “Epitaph One.”
Also: http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/news/Dollhouse-Season-1/11651 : “Expect the DVD and Blu-ray versions to arrive day-and-date on July 28th (well-timed for fanfare at the annual San Diego Comic Con). The pricing we gave you yesterday, of $49.98 SRP for the standard DVD (4 discs) and $69.99 SRP for the high-def Blu-ray (3 discs), has been confirmed. Running time is 694 minutes for 13 episodes: “Ghost,” “The Target,” “Stage Fright,” “Gray Hour,” “True Believer,” “Man on the Street,” “Echoes,” “Needs,” “A Spy in the House,” “Haunted,” “Briar Rose,” “Omega” and “Epitaph One”. We’ve confirmed that both versions will also have the Original Unaired Pilot Episode, “Echo”.”
Though they add that this is not based on an official Fox TV announcement.
