See here for image & brief story.
Fake? Who knows. Certainly interesting looking either way. Commenters on Dvorak’s blog seem to think it looks like a sea turtle without the shell. I can see that.

We’re under a ton of stress lately with the new house purchase thing, and with (finally) moving Z to a new daycare (starts next week! scary!) and some other stuff. Hence the low post count.
So here are some interesting/amusing links to tide you over until I have more to say.
Media reporting on media, and doing [...]

So I somehow managed to go almost a month without picking anything up. Here’s what was in my box:
Avengers: Initiative 15: I love this title. We get a solidifying of Crusader’s status (although he royally fucked up by driving 3D off…) and some Gauntlet action. Please don’t cancel this book Marvel. I think I forgot [...]

Interestingly, I couldn’t find an image of the cover I have (the paperback), this one is from the hardcover.
This is probably the best new fantasy book I’ve read in a while. Not that that says much, because I don’t read much new fantasy. It’s at least as good as George R.R. Martin’s stuff, [...]

So, headed west on Broadway….one of those silly double-decker-clown-bikes. Guy is riding in the middle of the right lane. Right next to the bike lane. Next to the bike lane. FOR BIKES. He’s next to it, not in it. They made a special lane…just for his special ass, and he’s decided he’s too special even [...]

Rumor has it that Marvel will be re-visiting Inferno somehow. At least that’s my interpretation of the fire hydrant crack (I haven’t figured out the “He wasn’t even supposed to be there.” headline yet….thoughts?)
I’m not sure how I feel about this. OK, I’m sure that I feel unsure about it – how’s that? I wish [...]

Soooo yeah, we’ve been in California for a few days, no thanks to United Airlines or Avis rentals.
Let’s start with United:
True, by United’s standards we were late (we arrived at the line 45mins before our flight, and you are supposed to be through the line at that point) – still, we’ve never had that problem [...]

Finally, a “good” good album!
This year needed something, as I’ve been moderately disappointed by the offerings thus far.
Yes, you guessed it, this is a “positive” review. Har har. Don’t get carried away though – it’s not the best thing since sliced butter (mmmmmm…lard), nor is it their best work yet, but it is very good. [...]

so yeah, another offer made…basically the day the place went on the market for the first time.
will we get it?
well, there is no sane reason why we wouldn’t – we offered exactly what the seller asked!
yes, we are THAT tired of hunting. no, but seriously, it’s worth what they are asking, and someone else would [...]

Probably not too much from me this week as we prepare for our brief California trip. So, enjoy the huge pile of links for now:
Legitimate companies conducting DoS attacks on other companies? Well, I wouldn’t really call MediaDefender a real (productive) company, but they do do DoS!
Random UFO news. I don’t think it panned out [...]
