A few links I've missed over the last few days.
* xkcd discovers the secret origins of the Kindle.
* RIP, Philip Jose Farmer. More here, especially about Venus on the Half-Shell, the book he published under the name Kilgore Trout. It's not half-bad.
* 'Las Vegas Running Out of Water Means Dimming Los Angeles Lights.'
* Spider-Man is taking a job at McDonald's in these tough economic times.
* And Joss Whedon explains why DC Comics movies don't work. He's right and wrong about this; there's something to be said for the "pain" thesis, but mostly it's a failure of writing and directorial ambition, compounded by corporate cowardice...
