Sometime between September 27th and September 29th, I thought this stuff was interesting. You might think so too!
Christopher L. Bennett — Star Trek: Ex Machina Annotations : This document explains the many continuity references, allusions and in-jokes contained in Ex Machina (ExM), as well as the various scientific ideas addressed therein and the reasoning behind many of my conjectures and extrapolations…along with corrections or rationalizations for various errors and continuity glitches. I assume that the reader is familiar with the basic characters and background of the Trek universe. (Saving this for future reading, as I'm reading the novel now, and this document — unsurprisingly — contains a number of spoilers.)
xkcd: Height : And in-joke heavy logarithmic map of the universe. I thought it was great when I saw it on its own, it's funnier knowing the source inspiration . (second link via Waxy )

Last weekend, Prairie and I went out to see I Am Legend at the local second-run theater, and we both came out with the same opinion — not a bad flick, until the end. For some reason, the last ten minutes or so of the film completely diverge from everything that had been set up until that point, taking what had been an interesting apocalyptic zombie film and ruining it for us with an ending that didn’t make any sense.
When we got home, I did a little poking around, and read on ...

Stupid humor time, folks. Australian website Same Same, preparing for Sydney’s 30th Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras, just ran a reader poll to determine the ‘ 50 Gayest Songs of All Time ’.
…last month we asked you to vote for what songs out of the vast catalogue of musical history you think deserve to be called camp classics. We received thousands of votes, and now that they have all been counted and triple-checked, we’re proud to finally reveal exactly what songs ha...

Generally speaking, I don’t get sick very often. The occasional sniffles or light cold, but not much more than that. I made up for it this weekend, though, when I managed to come down with some nasty 48-hour-ish flu bug. Saturday evening I had a little bit of a headache, but it wasn’t anywhere near enough to make me worry.
