  • InterGalactic Medicine Show

    If you are a fan of science fiction, you should check out Orson Scott Card’s InterGalactic Medicine Show, which is an anthology of stories from OSC’s web magazine. Two friends of mine have been published there (Ty Franck and Scott Roberts) and would make the compilation well worth it.

  • Google Search Tricks

    You may know some of these already, but Lifehacker has a handy guide for getting more than just your normal search results from Google. Since many of us have Google as our homepages (or use the Google toolbar), it’s a quick and easy way to find out when a movie is playing, check the weather,…

  • 100 Things We Didn't Know Last Year

    The BBC News site has a list of 100 things we didn’t know last year. Here are some of my favorites: 5. Cloudy apple juice is healthier than clear, containing almost double the antioxidants which protect against heart disease and cancer. Hmm, exactly the opposite of urine. 17.

    Mixed in with the news that the BSG Season 4 will not start until April (decidedly not cool) is news that the BSG movie Razor will be in theaters in select cities before it airs on TV. On November 12th, you can catch Razor at theaters in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Boston, Philadelphia, Dallas,…

    On par with the original ‘Talking Fish’ commercial Sabres fans know and love. F-bomb included.

  • TasteBook – Make Your Own Cookbook

    Cruising the usual blags today, and came across TasteBook. You can create a customized cookbook (professional looking, mind you) with a mix of your own recipes, and ones taken from epicurious.com. I am thinking that sort of thing would be a neat gift for the amateur chefs of the world.

  • Where's a Pirate when you need 'em??
