Hillary Clinton's "Chinese" Clapping (Angry Asian Man)
MSNBC's Chris Matthews keeps referring to Hillary Clinton's clapping habit as "Chinese." The hell? Is he trying to invent a stereotype?

Super Powers: Wave Four & Beyond (Toy Otter)
Fantastic pic collection of pitch materials for some never-produced expansions to the 1980s DC Super Powers toy line. The Green Lantern Oa playset is completely sweet.

Email about the WGA strike (Mark Evanier)
In the second part, Evanier directly refutes the commonly heard sour grapes complaint that "writers already make so much money and most of America works harder for less." This later entry discusses the corporate bullshit about "no money on the internet." I've said it before and I'll say it again: Mark Evanier consistently provides one of the finest weblogs out there.

Video of the Japanese Vending Machine Dress (Gizmodo)
Disguise yourself as a soda machine to blend in with the Tokyo urban landscape. Probably more social commentary and/or arthouse kitsch than a genuine personal security concept.

Impromptu Game Night 2!! (The Tauz Blaug)
Unfortunate proof that I played Killer Bunnies and touched an Xbox.

Your Creation Museum Report (John Scalzi)
Hopefully this will be as close as you will ever get to this monument to idiocy. (Gamers may remember Scalzi from his Official PlayStation Magazine column.)

A Pirate's (After) Life For Me (Mice Age)
Great piece about people spreading the ashes of loved ones around Disneyland. Spoiler: the ashes get thrown out.

The Aberrant Gamer: Flower Girl (GameSetWatch)
The darker side of cosplay... and the long-reaching effects of Aeris Gainsborough.
