- Warren Ellis on SF magazine sales. I love this series of posts.
- Studio Tour: New Yorker cartoonist Mick Stevens. Nice digs.
- Kevin Smith and Tim Burton talk smack. I’d’ve pegged Burton for a comics fan.

- Charlie Stross at The Guardian. “Novels are one of the few remaining areas of narrative storytelling where one person does almost all of the creative heavy lifting.” True that. Comics can be another.
- TomTom nav system already running on the iPhone. Score!
- Leetle Pinch? I love Dan4th’s Schwartz lecture photos.
- Who is a public intellectual? I’d say Henry, and I’d like to be someday.

- The rise of fan fiction and comic book culture. Agreed: Chabon’s Maps and Legends is magnificent.
- OmniFocus for the iPhone. Want!
