28 Days Later comic
Initial launch story will be firmly based in 28 DAYS LATER continuity with the first arc focusing on Selena. Bridging the gap between 28 DAYS LATER and 28 WEEKS LATER, a few key questions will be answered along the way: what happened to Selena after 28 DAYS LATER? How did Selena happen upon the machete she wields in 28 DAYS LATER?

So, Supernatural fandom. What's up with all the horrifyingly OOC fanmixes? Are you aware that Dean is nearing 30, with Sam close behind him, and they spend their life on the road, out of touch with the finer details of popular teen culture? And for those reasons, in addition to taste, (Dean particularly, though Sam too, if only to avoid the inevitable mockery) would never, ever be caught dead listening to a My Chemical Romance/Iron & Wine /Arcade Fire mixtape? No, really. Really, really. STOP. As elspethdixon pointed out, SPN has one of the best soundtracks known to man. Learn from it. As Dean dispenses his manly tears, so too employ your emo and your indie: sparingly, and for deliciously pretty dramatic effect.

But fanmixes. It brings up an interesting question: is it better to select songs that could be part of the canon (the official soundtrack, listened to by the characters), or songs that describe your feelings about the character? I like both kinds of mix, but I wish mixers were more committed to commentary, so I could figure out what they were going for. Liner notes people!

Btw, bless you Wikipedia, for listing this important information about Dean Winchester:

Dean Winchester: for all your driving and torturing needs.

Darwin in song? A singing Darwin scholar. Nice.

A cool new thing:

K-based design firm DIY Kyoto has come up with a clever plan to allow homeowners to visibly see how much energy they are using in their home at any given moment. Wattson, a portable and wireless device, hooks up to the main fuse box of any home and a bright display shows how much energy is being used in either in watts or cost over the past 28 days. The program also allows the user to put the information online in a community, where ideas about saving electricity are shared. (Via Lost At E Minor).

The Avenging Unicorn Playset This is quite possibly the best. toy. evar. Nay, it is the best toy evar. Do you see that? You can kill a corporate raider with a unicorn.

I must have it.
