The Back-up Plan

In light of NASA’s trouble with the Constellation Project and a possible end to his employment, Mr. Rochester informed me yesterday that he has a new plan for our financial future. Of course, this plan involves my labor and ideas, but who’s counting?
He informed me that I should be able to write something better than [...]

Flexible ePaper from LG

According to Tom’s Hardware, LG has announced a 19 inch epaper display that, unlike its predecessors, is flexible. LG uses a foil substrate instead of glass so that the entire display can be bent.
I am not sure about other people, but I immediately thought of the paper sheet that Badger shows to Mal, Zoe, and [...]

Mmmm… Jensen Ackles

One of their recent episodes, about some mysterious circumstances at a magician’s [...]

A day filled with Flan fun

I finally got my hands on the Angel: After the Fall: First Night graphic novel. It is a beautiful hardcover from IDW. I can not wait to devour it.
They were out of Serenity #2 and 3 of Better Days. The guy said they keep selling out so I had to put my name on a [...]

Wood, for Geeks

XKCD, “If I wasn’t married, I would take you in a [womanly] fashion” or at the very least share a pint of Mudder’s Milk with you if I ever got the chance.

MMOG Based on Firefly

I missed this since I am behind on my Whedonesque reading, but Fox sold the rights to the Fireflyverse as a game to The Multiverse network, Inc.

Unshelved and Jayne

Unshelved frequently gives nods to nerds. Today, with my daily dose of Unshelved, I also received some lovely sketches. One of them shows Tamara in her Jayne hat. Cunning indeed.
–Jane, it’s a girl’s name
