John Scalzi has it right here: whatever.scalzi.com.
Please take your buying dollars away from Amazon and go buy Macmillan books from other sources. Diversify the book economy. Support the authors. I just ordered Scalzi's The Android Dreams, William Poundstone's Priceless, Colin Mackinnon's The Contractor, and Ali Shaw's The Girl with Glass Feet from Fremont Place Book Store here in Seattle.

sherman's "stuff i like"
This show is one of my kids' favorites. And my wife and I have come to love it, too. The heroes are two young women, along with a techno geek boy and an installation artist brother. We especially appreciate the alternate depiction of young femininity presented by Sam (you gender studies folks should be writing papers on her). This show also offers subtle satire and cultural critique of Internet sins, large and small. These kids are technically adept but also battle against digital villains. Plus, the kid Gibby is awesome. - icarly.com
This is a hilarious and painful list. How many of these moves do you poets use? Just remember, as recounted by Bill Simmons in The Book of Basketball, Kevin McHale, the incredible power forward for the Celtics, only had six moves. It's not the individual moves; it's how you use them in sequences. I hope. - htmlgiant.com.
