Madame Tarra Fortune Teller. Crap; they cost thousands of dollars. Hmmm. Or I could just take a trailer to Vegas and steal one from the Strip. [evil grin].

OPEN SOURCE COMIC CHARACTER SEEKS SENSITIVE CREATOR-TYPES
She’s open source! She’s multidimensional! That’s right, the character of Jenny Everywhere may be used without permission by anyone. And you won’t have any continuity concerns with The Shifter, because… because she shifts.

I don’t care how “sexy” Ben Affleck is…

He simply does not cause lesbians to want to have sex with him. Believe me. Icky. Icky. Icky. I’m sorry, but the culture police need to write him a ticket for Gigli AND Chasing Amy. Seriously, if Ben Affleck wanted to have sex with me, I might auction the option off to my gay male friends, but that’s the closest I would EVER come to considering the idea.

Power Point is Evil – By Edward Tufte

For those who don’t know who Edward Tufte is, he’s the god of design, and the pre-eminent scholar of graphical representation. He’s written some amazing books which are very expensive but must-owns for designers:
– The Visual Display of Quantitative Information
– Envisioning Information
– Visual Explanations: Images and Quantities, Evidence and Narrative
Tutfe, it turns out, is not a fan of PowerPoint presentations.
