Biology of Homo Sapiens Vampiris
Anyone interested in the biology and evolutionary development of the vampire (Homo Sapiens Vampiris) should watch this link. This popped up on Pharygula, SFSignal, and at least one other blog I read. It’s making the rounds very quickly. Be aware that it is about 20 minutes long, but well worth your time.
Poetry
I’ve never been a fan of reading poetry. I’m too impatient to enjoy it. I want my fiction delivered up free of simile, metaphor, or symbol. I can handle it if these items are secondary to the story, but if they are presented in a manner which requires me to comprehend to appreciate the book, …
Battlestar vs. Star Destroyer
Another mashup found on Youtube, this one is well done. It perfectly illustrates why deep space combat as done (mostly) in Battlestar and (almost entirely) in Star Wars is silly. Self respecting admirals would not place their main combatants (i.e. Battlestars and/or Star Destroyers) in such close proximity to each other unless there was no …
The Art of the Saber
[Gacked from SF Signal] The Art of the Saber, an excellent short movie I recommend to anyone who likes Star Wars.

Three times in 12 hours, I’ve been spammed by a Save The Lord of the Rings post relating that only Peter Jackson could possibly do a movie based on The Hobbit. Obviously this took a bit of time to ramp up, because, as you can see from this website it’s been a week since The …
Excellent Website
Cleaning out the “to be posted” file… I’ve spent the past week or so perusing the pages on this website. Most are strangely amusing. My favorite quote, found on the page of Astronomically Unlikely is: …if all-natural organic free-range babies are the perfect ingredient for tentacle lotion… Originally, I was punted over by way of …
Lost? How Lost are you?
I suspect that the number of comments I received on this post about Lost was due to the juxtaposition of “Lost” and “Shit” in the same googleable sentence. Somebody even popped up just last week to drop a comment. I’m quite proud of my most popular post. [sniff] But, I digress. If anyone pops over …
Forsooth! It is Book!
As only a ten-question quiz can do, it has summarized my life down to the last string of vestigal DNA. I feel complete and without any more purpose. What Kind of Reader Are You? Your Result: Dedicated Reader You are always trying to find the time to get back to your book. You are convinced …
Logical Conclusion to Heroes
Warning: Spoilers, if you haven’t watched this week’s Heroes yet… We know that Claire can survive all sorts of devastating physical trauma. She can be smashed, burned, sliced, diced, and julienned without long-lasting consequences. We have observed her to be dead with a sharp stick in her brain. She can apparently recover from any wound …
