Ursula K. LeGuin interviewed on the Google Books Settlement — I continue to refer to GBS as "banal evil", but I suspect Ms. LeGuin would drop the adjective. And she swings a much bigger bat than I do. (Snurched from scarlettina.)

Mod 1966 ad for Frigidaire refrigerators and freezers — Check out the model's costuming in this ad. Wow. I think we need a space age fashion revival.

OInternational Space Station comes together — A cool animation of the construction process. (Thanks to KOF.)

And a gorgeous photo of the ISS, from APOD
