You had me at gritty, red-headed paste.

Revolutionary fuel cell? Check. Grandiose claims? Check. Actual use by real companies? Check. Okay, I’ll get a tiny weeny bit excited. Hat tip to Kottke for the link. Check out the Bloombox.

Really nice review of Yrnameer by Tom Dell’Aringa, author of the webcomic Marooned. He was also kind enough to interview me, which should be up soon.

I’ll be appearing as part of the Animal Farm reading series on Thursday, February 11, 8pm. Location: Happy Ending, 302 Broome street between Forsyth and Eldridge, NYC.

My favorite summary of Yrnameer so far, courtesy of an eighth-grader who has listed three books on his blog that he intends to read for his humanities class:

“Sheriff of Yrnameer by Seth Grahame-Smith authour of pride and prejudice and zombies
this story is about space guy named joe. It is the future and earth has been reduced to a pile of rubble. Cole is a guy on the run from the evil guy and he faced many problems (a cargo hold full of freeze-dried orphans; a corporate training satellite filled with bloodthirsty zombies). He reaches Yrnameer (your name here) where a bandit has threatened the cizilians to give up all there crops.This story appeals to me because it is set in the future and its a comedy and an adventure story. This is my favorite out of my 3 choices and i think i am going to read this one.”

Oh, the humanities.

A nice mention on flavorwire.

A Ph.D. candidate in aerospace engineering weighs in on the physics of space battles.

For the man who has everything but a case of sausage. Thank you, succeedblog.

Lovely footage of underwater volcano. Particularly enjoy the University of Washington spokesman (”Bright red molten lava! Explosions! Degassing!”), who appears to be speaking at some sort of trade show for cool-ass s***.

A fly-through of the known universe. Wowza. Hat tip to Kottke.org.
