ZOMG! LINKS!

It looks like linkdumps are all I have time for this week. Here are a few things that have graced my browser in the last day or two…

It turns out that Kenneth the page Bobby Jindal and other Republicans are lying about the supposed $8 billion high speed train from “Disneyland to Las Vegas.” Huh. Go figure.
NASA is soliciting names for a new module for the ISS. Phil Plait has an idea.
How to give a presentation to an audience full of twitterers.
The headline says it all: Snake Regurgitates Hippo.
In the mid 80s, comics great Steve Rude submitted a Johnny Quest story he’d penciled to comics legend Alex Toth for comments/advice. Toth returned the art with his notes, which were scathing and deeply critical of the visual storytelling. It turns out that hidden inside all that invective is some very good advice for visual storytellers. (Hey CCV film students! Click the link and read the notes!)
Check out this amazing 60,000 piece LEGO diorama of the battle of Hoth. Beautiful.

Well, when you can’t get your way being honest about an issue, you lie about it. Simple GOP math.
