Monday Linkage
Happy Monday, everybody! Allison is in D.C. for the inauguration, and spent last night hobnobbing at the Biden Family Party. I spent Sunday with Georgia making robots out of K'Nex parts, and then drank too much wine watching old Filmation cartoons and the new SNL after she'd gone to bed. So really, party with Joe Biden and Bill Clinton or K'Nex robots, wine, and Blackstar--which is really more glamorous?
Here's the list of things of interest I've noted on the web since the last linkage roundup.

- Bill Gibson points out a terrific bit of fiction about the "Ghost Protector of the Brooklyn Bridge" embedded in a site dedicated to blogging All 500-plus Manhattan landmarks on the National Register of Historic Places."
- Danny Stack shares Joss Whedon's Top 10 Writing Tips.
- ReelArt Studios have landed the Condé Nast license, which means they'll be making statues of Doc Savage and the Shadow. Want!
- The FDA is urging people not to eat anything with peanut butter in it. Considering that half of my caloric intake is protein bars, all of which are flavored with peanut butter, I am screwed.
- Mo Willems will be at Austin's BookPeople this coming Saturday. Georgia is psyched!
- NewScientist lists 2008's Weirdest Animals.

Was sick most of the weekend, still haven't watched the return of BSG, but since you are doing linkage I wanted to spread some joy I found recently:

A cool site that had indy artists doing reworks of well know covers. Only 5 or so up now, but Hembeck's is awesome, as is the Meltdown one posted today.

I haven't worked up the will to watch the new BSG yet myself. It just sits there on the Tivo, taunting me with its potential awfulness.
And thanks for the tip on the cover site!

On Saturday, wrote up variations of Yellow Perils for this game I'm writing (the "White Peril," the anti-Black Indian Peril of South Africa during the 1930s, etc). On Sunday, went to a family reunion on the beach and watched my cousin Ted charm my wife *and* baby, which is just unfair. And today, bought a new couch and am writing the history of a fictional pulp.
You know. The usual.
(BSG: not as bad as it could have been).

Cousin Ted may be charming, Jess, but I'm guessing he couldn't write the history of a fictional pulp.
No, but he's a game warden at Yellowstone, so by default he's more manly than I am.
And he's outrun a bear.
