Only Interesting to Academic Librarians

Here you go.  A bibliography on information literacy, as compiled by Amanda Townsend and moi (Brenda Almeyda), for a project at work.  It took hellalong to compile, so I figured we may be saving someone out there a bit of a headache if I posted it here.  Amanda did most of the hard stuff, I [...]

Hollow Fundraiser

I admit, I’m a fangirl for a comic that hasn’t even come out yet.  I did a little snippet on these guys awhile back, but now it seems that a comic I’ve already fallen in love with may be in danger!  Help the crew of Hollow!  If you help, you’ll get some beeee-yoo-tee-ful art as [...]

Soon, they were joined by Memetic Press Senior Story Advisor And Coordinator, Steven Jones.  Their powers combined now, they [...]

Maroon 5 – Makes Me Wonder

You ever have a song that you hear and just love so much that you just beat it to death for a few weeks?  Ever since "Makes Me Wonder" came out, I’ve been trying to wear it down.  Everytime I hear it though, there’s something else I like about it.  It’s got that funky 70’s [...]

Gay Bomb

You know at this rate, I’m going to just make up a catagory called "weird shit I found while on Warren Ellis’ website/message board/column."  I love reading his stuff because he’s dark, funny, and just plain weird.

Chicks and Comics Revisited

Tim Seeley drew the first one.  Nicola Scott [...]

Save the Sci-Fi Writer, Save the World

Found this on Warren Ellis’ forum, The Engine.  Sci-Fi Writers and the War on Terror.  I can’t make this up people.  Truth is stranger than fiction.
