In the world of broadcasting holiday weekends normally mean three-to-four times the usual workload, so updates may be spotty over the next few days.
Comic Stuff: Comic Book Resources has a story and preview of Warren Ellis' upcoming science fiction miniseries Switchblade Honey. I laughed when I saw this "life sized" 16 inch tall Hulk head bust. For some strange, unfathomable reason the powers that be at Maxim have decided they need to chime in on the Lamest Superheroes Ever. Boys, I appreciate the attempt, but your way out of your league. Stick with providing young men too timid to purchase porn an affordable source of wet, meaty celebrity clevage and leave the ruthless condesension of leotarded fantasy figures to those who know what they're fucking talking about. Isn't there a shitty metal band or an Xtreme Sports yank-fest you could be covering?

A New Soul Ripe for Corruption: Bad Day gives a big "welcome" to our newest cast member Arden Rose Terapane, born Thursday morning. She came in at a svelte 6 lb, 12 oz and an impressive 20 inches long. Parents and dear friends Geri and Alex both come from hearty stock and are doing well.
As for me, I am not worried. There are enough freaks and cackling madmen with anarchy in their hearts to make an authoritarian coup way too much trouble.

"This blog highlights a plethora of Internet attractions of daily interest to science fiction lovers. Movies, TV, comics, books, technology, action figures, and lots of uncategorizable weirdness." That's how SciFi.com's Webguide describes this humble page. A big welcome to any new readers, as well as an invitation to visit the Amazing Colossal Links Pages and all the other goodies on this site.
Warren Ellis has linked to this very cool 1957 energy department promotional comic book called The Atomic Revolution. It is an unbridled romantic view of a high tech American future. It brought a tear to my eye.

After a quite fruitful and personality-enriching twenty-five year relationship with alcohol, they have finally named a beer after me.

Just made my monthly jaunt over to Japanese Engrish, where I found such recent gems as this and this. That site seems constantly overwhelmed by new material.
