• Today's spam gem—subject line: Andy private dogsucking


• The word Podcast has been officially entered into the dictionary.


• Good ole howstuffworks.com has a nice breakdown of How Narnia Works. I loved these books as a kid (and read them in published order, thank you very much—screw this chronological bullshit that's in bookstores now), having absolutely no idea about the Jesusness of it all. In fact, I specifically remember when I learned that there were underground christian messages in there... I was heartbroken and felt as though I'd been part of something a little dirty. I am wary of the new film (though who am I kidding, I'll definitley see it). I don't want to sit in a theatre distracted by the possibility that the strangers all around me are quietly filled with god's love and all that crap. They should segregate us and have separate showings for the biblethumpers and the fantasists. The damn christians are taking over and I'm about to lose my brain. ARGH.


• Interesting article in the Village Voice today about Fantasy in Fashion. Mentioned in the article, the always fun products of Fred Flare.


• Rather cool, indeed: E-paper display in Tokyo. Was just trying to convince a luddite friend last night that the publishing industry is embracing more digital options—this is a nice arguing piece.
