Glee! I was browsing Ellen Datlow's livejournal, looking for references to an anthology she's editing that features a short story by Jim, when I came upon a reference to her anthology featuring a short story written by my college roommate! I boggle at the spectacular pedigree of authors involved. Ko is in great company!

Academic Earth fills me with giddy glee. As described by LifeHacker:
Web site Academic Earth is like Hulu for academic lectures, pulling free lectures from Berkeley, Harvard, MIT, Princeton, Stanford, and Yale into one attractive, easy to navigate site. It's incredible.

The site clearly takes its cues from Hulu and iTunes on its design, but it's ten times better than either, because it's open. The videos can be embedded anywhere or downloaded and enjoyed wherever you want to take them. It's easy to use, has tons of great content, and it doesn't cost a dime.
Wow. I am on that like beige on unbleached rice. Now I just have to figure out where to start! Biology? Economics? Psychology? History? I think I'll start with The Civil War and Reconstruction Era, 1845-1877.

Your result for The 3-Variable Funny Test...

the Wit
(52% dark, 27% spontaneous, 11% vulgar)

your humor style:
CLEAN | COMPLEX | DARK

You like things edgy, subtle, and smart. I guess that means you're probably an intellectual, but don't take that to mean pretentious. You realize 'dumb' can be witty--after all isn't that the Simpsons' philosophy?--but rudeness for its own sake, 'gross-out' humor and most other things found in a fraternity leave you totally flat.

You just have a more cerebral approach than most. Your sense of humor takes the most thought to appreciate. You have the perfect mindset for a joke writer or staff writer.

PEOPLE LIKE YOU: Jon Stewart - Woody Allen - Ricky Gervais

I've updated the tnm.n photography gallery with the new photographs I took this past weekend. Shiny!

And again, I am struck silly by the dearth of photographs taken in 2008. I wonder if I have enough artsy photos to justify an "Around the City" category, like 2003's "Around Penn" section. Bet I do.

Oooh! I accidentally bought the sweetened chocolate almond milk instead of the unsweetened! I like cutting down on sugar whenever possible, and the unsweetened is tasty enough, so the choice is obvious. But I do *prefer* the taste of the sweetened, so that was a pleasant surprise!

(Yes, this is the kind of drivel I'm compelled to share with others. Aren't you glad you kept poking me to take blogging back up, Ko and Chungy? :D)


For Jo, and anyone else that was curious: The bizarre antiques store I visited yesterday was Billy's Antiques, located at 76 E Houston.

For everyone not mentioned above, I shall legitimize this entry with cover art for the upcoming Middleman DVD (Fighting evil that distorts perspective and makes the heroes look like they're on completely different ground planes, so you don't have to!) and Really Geeky Political Cartoons.

BSG SPOILER ALERT!
BSG SPOILER ALERT!
BSG SPOILER ALERT!
BSG SPOILER ALERT!
BSG SPOILER ALERT!
BSG SPOILER ALERT!
LA LA LA LA LAAAAAAAAA!



I enjoyed the Battlestar Galactica series finale. I certainly blubbered enough during it! The first half was pure poetry, with the brilliant payoff of the classic "vision" sequence. However, the episode tanked for me as soon as Lee's "no cities" plan came up and was actually embraced by the others.

Whuh? This is a society whose raptor pilots are offered the last tube of toothpaste as the ultimate form of incentive. This is a society that's used to a (more or less) ready supply of pharmaceuticals and cigarettes and feminine hygiene products and meals you may have to squabble for occasionally, but you don't have to grow yourself or track down and kill. Relief from an all-algae diet may be a brief morale booster, but I give them a week before some horde of survivors whose slates weren't all that dirty to begin with revolts and steals Adama's raptor and flies to some other part of the planet to create their own frakkin' city, thank you very much. Maybe that's what Atlantis was.

The idea of cities somehow being a source of evil boggles my mind. In its simplest form, evil is the human desire for power, unchecked by human empathy. Human, human, human. Whether you life in a city or a farm or a nomadic hunter/gatherer culture or a crumbling Battlestar, the potential for human weakness exists in equal measure. And the "moral education" of the prehistoric humans being painted as some kind of noble undertaking was WAY too "White Man's Burden" for me.

Also, I consider the explanation of Starbuck being some Wild Mass Hallucination (yet still capable of interacting with the world) to be a massive fumble.

Fortunately, there were enough Moments of Greatness that I'm happy with it, overall. The idea that modern man is descended from the Awesome Fighting Agathons gives me great hope for humanity! And Roslin's death scene had me in tears. Oh, and then there were Head!Six and Head!Baltar being awesomely smug in the Great Preachifying Coda! I kind of love the idea of them head!traveling about the globe, observing events and commenting in a similarly smug fashion. The Awesomely Smug Adventures of Head!Six and Head!Baltar! This I can get behind.

It was a fitting finale, a satisfying ending to an extraordinary show. Despite the fact that this post is 90% rant, I am a happy camper.

Today was weird.

I mentioned in passing that one of my coworkers is doing a weekly photography workshop. I ended up submitting this image last week, which was not taken in my front yard.



Our assignment for next week is to take a picture that illustrates motion. I had to run an errand over at Houston and Broadway--an area of town stupidly close to me, but which I rarely ever get to--and afterward, I decided to prowl that area for potential shots.

The first place that caught my eye was a curios shop, which specializes in countless shiny odds and ends, subway signs, opera props, and bizarre statues and masks. I set up a number of shots of people reflected in mirrors among the odd bric-a-brac. One such shot featured the legs of a tall, slim man in black jeans and cowboy boots, who spontaneously walked into frame. Yay happy accidents! Then I looked up, and it was one of my coworkers! We stopped to chat and have a laugh about it, and he explained that he lives very nearby, and he stops in occasionally to see if there's anything new and interesting to see. That'll be a story to share with my fellow photographers!

My next stop was a basketball court, where a bunch of young guys had banded together an impromptu game. I must have watched them for 15 minutes, taking photo after photo, before the game ended. I smiled at the guys in greeting afterward, ready to explain my presence to any who asked, when suddenly I caught the eye of the son of one of my family's oldest friends. We spent a few minutes catching up and generally boggling, then I was off once more.

I strolled around a little longer, then made my way back home, whereupon I got my first jury duty summons in the mail.

Yeah, today was weird.

Protest the Moronic Casting of Avatar: The Last Airbender!

For those who aren't aware: Avatar is a popular cartoon series based in an Asian-inspired world, yet for the live-action movie, Paramount is casting whites in the heroic leads while relegating people of color to villains and extras. Two of the heroes set to be played by white actors are brown-skinned, belonging to an Inuit-based culture in the original series, and the third hero, also set to be played by a white actor, is from a Tibetan Buddhist-based culture. This is dumb and frankly offensive.

If you'd be so kind as to sign the petition, I'd really appreciate it! It takes thirty seconds.



Most online petitions are worthless, but this one is going straight to Paramount, MANAA and the EWP. It's absolutely worth the 30 seconds to sign and the two minutes it takes to spread the link in your blog or over email, if you think your friends/readers are likely to be interested.

Check out racebending.com and the LJ comm aang-aint-white for more info.

Folks that follow my blog may be aware that I and my two friends Mickey and Fred serve as Thematic Consultants on the Dresden Files graphic novel series. This past year, we assisted in the production of a prequel to the book series called Welcome to the Jungle.

Folks that love science fiction and fantasy may be familiar with the Hugo Awards, which many consider to be the most prestigious award given in that genre.

The 2009 Hugo Nominations were announced tonight. Among them:

Best Graphic Story
  • The Dresden Files: Welcome to the Jungle Written by Jim Butcher, art by Ardian Syaf (Del Rey/Dabel Brothers Publishing)

  • Girl Genius, Volume 8: Agatha Heterodyne and the Chapel of Bones Written by Kaja & Phil Foglio, art by Phil Foglio, colors by Cheyenne Wright (Airship Entertainment)

  • Fables: War and Pieces Written by Bill Willingham, pencilled by Mark Buckingham, art by Steve Leialoha and Andrew Pepoy, color by Lee Loughridge, letters by Todd Klein (DC/Vertigo Comics)

  • Schlock Mercenary: The Body Politic Story and art by Howard Tayler (The Tayler Corporation)

There is a land called Squeetopia, and I am its queen.

Wow. I'm actually embarrassed that I've gone without reading so many of these. Who are these people who have read fewer than six, and can I direct them to the nearest library? I'm amazed anyone can graduate high school without reading at least six of these. Heck, I'm surprised people can get through childhood without reading nearly that many.

A coworker is holding a digital photography workshop on Wednesday. Today, we're each supposed to submit a photograph--digitally unaltered--for some sinister purpose. I've been going through my gallery, considering photos taken in Greece or on my pan-Southwest road trip, but I think I'm ultimately going to pick a photograph I took at home, in my front yard. Not sure what that says about me, but whatever it is, I think I'm okay with it. :D

  • 10:26 The toad demon attack scene has to be the funniest yet, due to the manifold creative ways Ardian tries to hide the fact Harry is naked. #
  • 10:29 Sometimes I miss the "Harry saves the day while looking like a moron" theme of the earlier books. #
  • 23:58 Wow. Apparently, I've been coming across as very closed-minded and holier-than-thou to certain people. Wish I could convince them otherwise. #
  • 23:59 I made pies for my coworkers for Belated Pie Day! If Kansas can legally declare pi to be 3, I can pretend for a day pi is 3.16! #

  • 10:21 Happy Pi Day, ladies and gents! I slept in quite shamelessly, and the facial discoloration is nearly gone! Triumph! #

  • 11:58 Allison Janney on Broadway! Is there any question that I will be seeing "9 to 5"? #
  • 13:08 It doesn't surprise me in the least, but it puts a smile on my face to know @feliciaday is a Dresden fan. :D #
  • 16:41 @stephanieyee Celebrating St. Patrick's Day early? #
  • 16:42 @Uilos You'd better not be getting my cold through the internet! #
  • 16:46 I cannot wait to get home, crawl out of my skin into an oatmeal bath, and not get out for twelve hours. "The Name of the Wind" can come too. #
  • 17:05 Man, what is up with New York and planes with catastrophic engine failure? Glad no one was hurt. #
  • 17:35 @featherjean Is it a Mac? That's one of the many ridiculously cool features Mac laptops offer! #
  • 17:41 Can't concentrate on work. Skin discomfort making me too antsy. Is this what getting a mild yet ubiquitous case of poison ivy is like? #
  • 18:00 I am seriously considering taking a cab home so I can be in the aforementioned oatmeal bath 20 minutes faster. QUIET AGONY. #
  • 18:53 Seven minutes left. Ready to go at my back with a cheese grater. GET ME OUT OF HERE. #

  • 09:49 Went to sleep at 11. Woke up just before 10. Head is stuffed with cotton and sinuses are like the Sahara. Not cool, body! #
  • 10:45 Waaaaaaaah, my brain hurts. Freaking cold. #
  • 10:52 Want to go back to sleep to retreat from sickly doom, but not tired enough. Dazedly watching "Black Books" on Netflix. #
  • 11:26 omg, that's Nick Frost! He looks so wee! And like sixty pounds lighter! #
  • 11:32 okay, I'm going to see if I can go back to sleep. I'm too miserable to be awake. Raaaaarg, stupid sickliness. #
  • 15:12 Awake again. Not an improvement. #
  • 19:27 @Uilos Awesome! Have crazy fun! #
  • 20:06 @mkcho73 No idea. Probably in my safety deposit box. #

  • 10:23 @Uilos Great review! #
  • 11:31 Feeling exhausted, despite good night's sleep. Either "Watchmen" taking its physical toll or result of mild food poisoning last night. #
  • 11:44 Ha! Of course "Ride of the Valkyries" would be on the Watchmen soundtrack. Freaking cracked me up. #
  • 11:54 Ah, that's why Pirate Jenny reminds me of Strange Fruit. Both are sung by Nina Simone! (Apologies to Billie Holiday--I found Nina's first) #
  • 12:23 Holy cow, the weather is gorgeous today! Why did I think I needed my coat? #
  • 12:33 Just passed the Excelsior hotel. Expected to see Stan Lee lurking about. #

  • 16:32 @Esperacchius STOP TAKING RIDES FROM GYPSIES. #
  • 21:43 Mrsfgl. Think I'm coming down with a cold. I've been achy and dry-mouthed all day. #

  • 08:21 @beachkid by the way, thank you for introducing me to the word "sealclapping." It filled a very important hole in my vocabulary! #
  • 09:26 MADE OF WIN! The recycling program Linda and I started is now official company policy and has been expanded from just plastic to paper, too! #
  • 14:40 RT @mkcho73: tinyurl.com/da4osj #
  • 21:10 Picked up the new Neko Case album on my way home from work. I love her voice! Listening now. #
  • 21:12 @NeilMSchwartz Maybe they think she's constantly on her way to a convention and/or to chop wood? #
  • 21:14 @kitoconnell Sounds like the perfect way to spend a day! #
  • 21:47 @fourteenacross My favourite burger in the city is vegan: black bean patty with assorted veggies and soy bacon. Your soul should rejoice! #
  • 22:35 32 minutes of frogs? Really, Neko Case? I let myself zone out and embrace the sound, but when I came back, less than 5 minutes had passed. #
  • 22:35 I'm not without a tree-hugging hippie streak, but I'd rather have 27 more minutes of actual music. #

OH HELL YES!

The recycling program Linda and I started a few months ago is now OFFICIAL COMPANY POLICY! And it has been expanded from just plastic to paper, glass, and aluminum cans, too!

Thank you, Awesome Boss!

Now I have to figure out what my next goal will be. Now that "recycle" is in place, it's time to "reduce" and "reuse." I'd like to find a way to reduce the number of plastic bottles we go through, whether that be by getting a Brita or a water cooler, and having everyone use reusable glasses/mugs. Or if reusable glasses are too much to hope for, maybe we could replace the non-recyclable paper cups with a biodegradable alternative. Recyclable paper towels in the bathroom would cut down on waste quite a bit, as well.

And of course, because my boss is trying to run a business, it all needs to be cost-effective. I'm going to make an appointment to chat with our financial guy to figure out how much we're currently paying, to see what kind of wiggle room I have.

This is going to be fun. It's nice to have a mission!

  • 00:30 Duuuuude. Levelator magically removed like 80% of the annoying noise reduction artifacts. That shouldn't be possible, but... yay! #
  • 00:31 @featherjean I second that! Gluten is nasty, but it's almost impossible to avoid. #
  • 00:32 @NeilMSchwartz Only if the vampires in question are badly written. #
  • 00:40 @Esperacchius The snow will be over Monday afternoon. You should be fine by Wednesday. #
  • 00:42 @Uilos *smirks annoyingly* #
  • 00:44 @paulandstorm That's so adorable my teeth hurt. #
  • 00:53 @featherjean I use Twittelator. It gets the job done! #
  • 01:16 Dude, when did it get to be 1:16? I swear I looked at my clock 15 minutes ago and it was 11:40. Stupid aliens. #
  • 08:31 Argh! Not one of my THREE alarms went off today. Stupid alarms--my job doesn't believe in snow days. Woke 10 min before I had to leave. #
  • 08:35 Also, the pristine snow I went to sleep to is all grungy and trod upon. Hmph. Ah well. I'm going to make it in time! Life remains good! #
  • 08:37 @Esperacchius Dude, you can *always* wear your browncoat. You don't have to have an excuse. You can wear it to the beach! It's that awesome. #
  • 09:18 Actual Metro paper headline this morning: "'Dumpster Divers' Rate the Best Trash Eats." Is the economy really that bad? Or just the writers? #
  • 09:45 Oh, wow. The snow is SO PRETTY outside my work window! Pure white flurries, buoyed by currents of wind rushing between the buildings. Mmmm. #
  • 09:45 @Uilos *smirks more annoyingly* #
  • 10:30 Woe! The snow stopped! I thought it was going to continue well into the afternoon. #
  • 11:29 The word of the day is "sanguine." Someone should tell Mal. #
  • 16:58 The trouble with having long hair is no one notices when you hack off six inches. Or maybe the trouble is that my coworkers are all guys. #
  • 17:09 @Esperacchius Just stop before you start seeing pink elephants, k? #
  • 21:24 @Esperacchius That's because men singing French arias are hot. #
  • 21:25 @boymonster Rush Limbaugh doesn't care if you're a bunch of scary alcoholic bums! #
  • 22:24 @gypsyjr Is it the "very close talking" episode? Because that was hilarious. #

  • 14:54 Off to the Doctor Who NY meetup! Their tribute to Three will be my first exposure to Old School Who. Let it begin! #
  • 23:04 The snow is coming down in gorgeous, swirling gusts. It's mesmerizing. #
  • 23:05 @hobbitwriter *laughs* Wonderful! Stay strong! #
  • 23:08 @neilhimself It's okay. We'll feel the joy for you! Fingers are crossed for more screens for Coraline. #
  • 23:31 Unsurprisingly, @viennateng's "The Last Snowfall" is a really, really good snow-watching song. #
  • 23:32 @smuu I don't know how to do a cartwheel, either. It's not uncommon. #
  • 23:51 What the... why can't I reduce noise on chapter 4? I'm on the lowest setting, but I'm still getting crazy artifacts. #

  • 00:22 Just found $200 in gift cards given to me a Christmas ago! My hiding spots are too clever for their own good. #
  • 02:08 @mkcho73 Hope you like Nordstrom and Anthropologie! #
  • 12:13 Why do I smell burnt hair? #
  • 15:19 @Uilos *cocks eyebrow* I'm covered! #
  • 15:38 @donttrythis I don't believe that's how "goblin" is spelled in this instance. #
  • 16:01 @boymonster I think of it as the onomatopoeia for the sound Homer Simpson makes when he scarfs donuts. I like it. #
  • 16:10 @Uilos Let me know if you find it. #
  • 16:19 @smuu In interviews, does he have a goatee? #
  • 16:21 @featherjean On a galactic scale? Earth. #
  • 16:25 Really, ice cream truck? Really? You're aware there's a windchill of 29 and a 60% chance of snow, right? #
  • 16:27 Mrsfgl. Feeling crampy and gross. Considering spending the rest of the day in the bath with my copy of "Watchmen." #
  • 17:00 Ooh, devouring Watchmen a second time is going to be a treat. I still think Rorschach reads like he should have a Russian accent, though. #
  • 17:35 Mmm, feeling human again. Also, after an hour in peach cinnamon bubble bath, my skin feels really, really soft. #
  • 18:54 Dear everyone involved in the "Neverending Story" remake: Don't make me hurt you. No love, Priscilla #
  • 20:26 @gypsyjr Actually, Baconnaise is vegan. I know this because my coworkers are obsessed with it. I'm looking at you, @redone17. #
  • 20:28 @CBSisSlayer730 That scans beautifully in place of the last line of "I've Got a Theory." #
  • 20:36 @beachkid Watching the "Oceanarium Reimagined" video. It entertains me that the narrator's last name is Ramirez. :D #
  • 20:38 @Esperacchius Feh, cinnamon is manly! Bubbles can be manly, too, like the character from "Lilo and Stitch." #
  • 21:40 @Uilos Happy to be of assistance! *tips hat* #
  • 21:46 @Esperacchius Sitting in the bubble bath, arms crossed, trying to will the rubber ducky out of existence as he scowls up at an amused Murph? #
  • 21:52 @Esperacchius If it would help his case, it could be a pirate rubber duckie. Or a ninja. It certainly would not be pink. Certainly. #
  • 21:59 @Uilos All the important bits would be hidden! There would be a lot of bubble bath! I meant no romantic overtones. Only silliness. #
  • 22:00 @Uilos Though to answer your question, probably squee a lot while trying to seem sober and mature in my beta-comments on the scene. #
  • 22:02 @gypsyjr Ah. My coworkers lied, then! For shame, coworkers! You have borne me false witness with your Baconnaise! #
  • 22:05 @Uilos Just the duckie. He's a big guy. There probably isn't a lot of room for bath toys. #
  • 22:06 @Esperacchius Okay, but I warn you. It'll smell like peach cinnamon. #
  • 22:23 @Uilos Can't freaking wait. :D #
  • 22:28 @feliciaday You are a rock star. #
  • 22:39 @beachkid Any day in which there is no cackling and sealclapping is a day wasted. #
