Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….
- This is a new one on me – When you play in someone else’s imaginary backyard, you can’t take it personally if they, someday, relandscape it. Most of the good writers for the major comic book companies (David included) realize this when they work on a company-owned character, too.
- Maximum cuteness level achieved: admin
- Wear Sunglasses to See Better When Driving in the Rain

There’s probably a fantasy story there involving some plotting by a demon named “Dubuyu”. (2) I loved Gopher. The service protocol, not the Love Boat crewmember.
- The Best Wi-Fi Names of All Time [Pic] – Heh.
- Nuclear Implications for China’s High Speed Train Wreck – IEEE Spectrum – I’m sure all the good Ayn Rand fans will suggest that if train construction contractors or nuclear plant engineering companies do a shoddy or corner-cutting job, the only thing to do is simply to buy from someone else after the resulting disaster.
