SECRET SKIN: An essay in unitard theory. (The New Yorker)
Author Michael Chabon's fantastic dissection of the improbabilities and portents of the super-hero costume.

Donkey Kong and Me (DadHacker)
Fascinating weblog entry from the guy who programmed the Atari version of Donkey Kong. Full of lots of crazy revelations, but perhaps the craziest is that Atari usually licensed the game without bothering to get resources and assets from the original creators. So this poor guy had to re-create Donkey Kong by himself, with no help from Nintendo. Amazing.

...He sure as hell is angry, but he does have moves. (Mike Sterling's Progressive Ruin)
Weird as balls. The June 1988 issue of The Question contains a mega-blatant plug to DC's then-current, now-classic Watchmen series. Naturally, the Question finds himself drawn to Rorschach... since Rorshach was himself drawn in homage to the Question.

New York Gov. Spitzer resigns but more woes likely (Yahoo News)
Never let it be said that I give the Dems a pass on this kind of crap, even though it always seems like it's priests and the GOP doing it. Spitzer was one of the shitheads railing about the immorality of Grand Theft Auto, all the while he's funneling money up hookers. Just another crusading asshole who sits in judgement of all else while he commits the very same acts he condemns.
