Yay, I’m back at my own computer! I can use tabbed browsing and upload images and everything! I love my iPad, don’t get me wrong, but writing blog posts on it was a bit of a pain in the ass.
I’ve also got an obscene number of items in my Google Reader, so I figured I’d start a new regular feature here: the Link Roundup! In which I post all kinds of random things that are cool. Rock on.
Books/Writing
- Why editors are important when you write. –Amen!
- A Paranormal Editorial Roundtable at Tor.com –A great discussion of the ubiquitous kick-ass heroine in urban fantasy.
- Suvudu’s Free Library –Check out this month’s free ebooks before they’re gone!
TV/Movies
- I’m way late on this one, but io9 created a hilariously awesome 80s Firefly opening credits vid:
- And in case you were wondering, here’s why Simon Tam wasn’t in the Firefly intro:
- Blastr (formerly SciFi Wire) tells you what you shouldn’t miss at San Diego Comic Com
- New pics from the upcoming Thor and Green Lantern movies. –Oh, Ryan Reynolds. [happy sigh]
- And another new pic from Thor. –is it just me, or is Thor looking worryingly cheesy?
- Two pics from the upcoming Conan The Barbarian remake. –Why hello there, Jason Momoa’s muscular chest.
Science/History
- Flipping awesome pics of eclipses from space.
- Ancient Egyptian tombs with false doors.
- NPR looks at Project Starfish, with vid of an H-bomb detonated in space.
