The rewriting post and poll

Movie mashups — Speed Eraserhead, anyone?

I may be a distant cousin of Barack Obama — Some of my ancestors are Kansas Dunhams from the same small town as his mother, who is a Dunham. Also, the town where Rocket Science [ Powell's | Amazon ] is set. (Thanks to Aunt Mary for spotting this.)

Blessed are the cheesemakers — ellameena becomes my new hero.

Ask Oxford — My dad sends along this link to the Oxford Dictionaries site, with a number of help resources.

StarshipSofa: SF Audio Podcast — These folks brought themselves to my attention. Worth checking out...looks like they've got a lot going on for your earbuds.

Eccentric genius: Antiques from a Parallel Universe — (Thanks to Z.)

Science — Shorpy with a WWII photograph that looks like a Thomas Dolby album cover.

Cheeseburger in a can — If this is available in the US, I'll order one and try it. (Thanks to AH. I think.)

The Fail Blog — Hahahah. (Thanks to AH.)

Reviews of the Bic Crystal Ballpoint Pen — Teh funny. (Thanks to tempested_bird.)

Vodaphone looking into femtocells — I had to click through to figure out what a femtocell was. Interesting squib about distribution cellular networks even further.

The most expensive PCs — (Thanks to lt260.)

Brattleboro, VT engages in sedition — (Thanks to lt260.)

Why Obama Matters — lordofallfools sends along this fascinating Andrew Sullivan article in The Atlantic about Obama as a unifier. The theme is that he can bridge the cultural divide of the last 40 years, with its roots in the Baby Boom's divide over Vietnam. (The fact that Sully has to balance the violent rantings of O'Reilly on the right with the carefully measured reasoning of Olbermann on the left (for example) in order to help make his case tells me a lot about the nature of the divide.)

Food Fight — A filmic critique of the history of modern warfare, culminating in the global war on terror, in food. Weirdly compelling.

There's a new podcast up today. This is a recording of a reading I did at World Fantasy 2007 in Saratoga Springs, New York. The story is "Hard Times in the State of Nature", a short story about philosophy and God that recently appeared in my collection The River Knows Its Own [ Wheatland Press | Amazon ]. This seemed particular apropos in light of the ongoing discussion at daveraines' LJ about the internal narrative of atheists.

There's a new podcast up today. This is a recording of a bar interview between me, kenscholes and frankwu at Rustycon 25. In this mercifully brief podcast we discuss the human body, the nature of humor and current and upcoming work.

Mainspring [ Powell's | Amazon ] is now available at Audible.com. Here's the direct link. Even better, the member home page is showing it as a featured selection.

The good folks at Audible.com have also been kind enough to provide me with a couple of free downloads, which can be used for Mainspring or any other title, including Old Man's War , A War of Gifts: An Ender Story or any of the Dune books. Watch for that as a contest prize shortly here.

Underfunded Schools Forced To Cut Past Tense From Language Programs

Tesla Christmas Tree — For all your sparky goodness.

US says it has right to kidnap British citizens — Um...no one could possibly anticipate any problems arising from a doctrine like this, could they? Bueller? Bueller? Bueller? Anyone?

More gay men describe sexual encounters with U.S. Sen. Craig — That would Republican Senator Larry "I am not gay, I never have been gay" Craig. To belabor the obvious, I couldn't care less whether or not Craig is gay. More power to him. I care a great deal that both he personally and his party in general have built their political fortunes on strident anti-gay hysteria. Hypocrisy: the familiest value of them all.

Don't forget to vote in the caption contest poll
