Knock knock / Who is it? / Uhhh… Candygram!
This is cool: The basic process for developing fingers and toes in land animals may have existed for more than 500 million years in shark genes, according to a new study. Of course, it makes the uplift easier, and, in … Continue reading

Artists & authors
Hey Oscar Wilde! It’s clobberin’ time!!! collects works by various artists interpreting their favorite literary figures/authors/characters. Mildly cool. (above: Bruce Timm / H.P. Lovecraft)

Appreciation is nice
Lileks @ SmartFlix blog: I knew the very second I opened the attractive SmartFlix envelope (much better than Netflix, to be honest, and it doesn’t stand out with that red STEAL ME, POSTAL EMPLOYEE color) that this would be the … Continue reading

Freaky!
A collection of photos documenting a French(?) actress destroying herself with plastic surgery. Sad, sad, sad. What a waste. I have a name for it – Jessica Rabbit Syndrome. Oh, not safe for work – boobage.

Damn the Swiss!
I spent part of Sunday assembling a new benchtop table saw. The Swiss let me down with the instructions: Required tools: Tool A Tool B Tool C Tool D So, I went and collected tools A, B, C, and D. … Continue reading

Stardust arrives
and gets four stars. I read the book and like most of Gaiman’s stuff, it left me unsatisfied. But the reviewer does say it has Lusty Wenches, always a draw in my book.

Efficiency
How UPS got William Gibson’s Spook Country to me: West Sacramento, CA -> Mather, CA -> Louisville, KY -> Poughkeepsie, NY -> Newark, NJ -> Philadelphia, PA -> Stratford, CT -> Windsor Locks, CT -> Watertown, MA -> Arlington, MA … Continue reading

Junk science looks so much better
