Links falling like leaves from autumn trees… Emily is on Boing Boing again (for the third time – fourth if you count our wedding post). They should have her on as a guest blogger! Paging the ACLU, G20 protesters arrested for using Twitter. Looks like hanging out at social media sites is a good way [...]

First off, I attended the kick-off party for Philip Baruth’s State Senate campaign last night at Nectar’s. Learn more about Philip here and get involved! Also, this happened yesterday. Mazel tov, NTodd! Now here’s an assortment of stuff to keep you amused, mid-week… Why you smart, energetic twenty-somethings should think twice before starting a non-profit. [...]

First of all, Dollhouse is back TONIGHT! Second of all, Emily has been asked to have her dissected frog included in the PRINT version of Discover Magazine as well as the online version. w00t! Now, the links you crave… Water, water everywhere… even the Moon. Woohoo! Hand sanitizer party in the prison yard tonight! The [...]

Two Thursday linkdumps in a row??? Are you mad??? Peter Berg’s Dune adaptation attempt looks like it will be all actiony and less brainy. This is a photograph of the space shuttle dumping gallons of human urine into space. Really. This past episode of Mad Men dealt with the very real and horrific experience of [...]

linkity dinkity do… AMC continues to be awesome by making a mini series of The Prisoner. Here’s one of the many way-cool time-lapse videos of the station fire on Mount Wilson. Space shuttle astronauts making a mundane video blog (I found it riveting despite nothing really happening and there not being any sound for much [...]

O’ the things I’ve seen. We did our annual pilgrimage to the Junction last night for the Champlain Valley deep-fried food festival Fair. Emily posted a few pics to her Flickr stream. I think I have a short editorial-type thing going in the Freeps in the next few days. I’ll post here when it’s up. [...]

That’s right, I’m not above using a little misspelled hyperbole to get you read my linkdump. You’ll thank me when you’re done… Okay Internet, what have you done with the real Gerry Canavan? The real Gerry and I rarely see eye-to-eye when it comes to our reactions to much-anticipated movies, but both his review of [...]

When you’re done seeing Inglorious Basterds this weekend, take a moment to peruse these fine, high-quality links… Huxley vs. Orwell cartoon – based on the forward to Neil Postman’s excellent skewering of the absurdity of TV, Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business (an urtext for me, media ecology-wise). I [...]

I got a fever and the only cure is braaaaiiinnnsss… Zombaritaville, zombified songwriting parodies. Scientists ponder the outcome of an actual zombie attack. AMC (the network that creates the best show currently on TV) is adapting for television what I’ve been told is one of the best comics currently being published, Robert Kirkman’s The Walking [...]

I’ve been saving up some juicy Firefox tabs for you. All for you… Scotty and the USS Enterprise apparently really did come back in time and save the whales because some yahoo has announced the invention of “transparent aluminum.” The headline reads “Vegetarianism is immoral.” The article fails to make the case and is guilty [...]
