I am having one of those days where my brain is being pulled a thousand different ways at once. Hence, a links list post.

First the stories closest to home:

• The Chronicle of Higher Education on Henry's departure for USC.
• Gamasutra on the same.
• The Chronicle on the Media Lab's Center for Future Storytelling.
• Sam Ford speaks with New Hampshire Radio.

And then further afield:

• Tor.com's Megan Messinger on Abrams' Star Trek. My jury's still out.
• Etsy books and zines. Now there's a business model for writers.
• Writing about writing about Gaiman. A biographer's work is never done... Until the subject is.
• Raising the bar for art museum sites. Dang.
• PBS' Mediashift: troubled pulp magazines in the 21st century. Still concerned about Weird Tales.
• Galleycat: Romance coming to the iPhone. Note the 'original content on Stanza' bit.
• Galleycat: Video Interview with Joshua Ferris and Matthew Eck. Seem like fun guys.
• Galleycat: Inside Simon & Schuster's digital studio. Great gig.
• NYT: Failing Home Economics. "Rational decisions are those you make and don't regret later."
• Cloud Cult. These guys are insane, and brilliant, full stop.
• Of author/illustrators and illustrators. Really insightful discussion of Lit Crit.
• NYT: Mitt Romney on letting Detroit go bankrupt. I think I might agree with him.
• NYT on the new novel by P.F. Kluge. Oh, man – I have to read this.
