Some stuff

I can't keep up with anything these days - teaching every morning makes my weblog take a back seat. (Not that it ever has a front seat, 'cause to admit that would be like I was admitting to being the BIGGEST GEEK ON THE PLANET, but occasionally my blog is in a more privileged position - like sometimes it sits in the hump part of the back seat, which, while it's not the most comfortable area of the proverbial car, is better than hangin' out in the trunk where it just so happens to be right now....)

Anyway, the comics on this site rock the house. "Remember when Bush flew that fighter jet onto the aircraft carrier after we accomplished the mission? Wouldn't it be awesome if he landed a rocket ship on the Capitol Dome and delivered the State of the Union speech dressed like an astronaut?" And, yes, folks, we now have official proof that life imitates Sealab 2021.

Check out some ephemera from the 1800s and a bunch of miniature books.

Listen to a bunch of people from around the world read a short paragraph about Stella and her quest to procure several "slabs of blue cheese and maybe a snack for her brother Bob." Exciting!
