Various and Sundry

I don't do serious link-lists anymore, but here are a few things of interest:
  • Jeff VanderMeer, of Amazon's Omnivoracious blog, recently interviewed both Brandon Sanderson and Gregory Frost (who talks about that recent ill-tempered John Clute review).
  • Someone called squidflakes (oh, those wacky LiveJournallers!) posts a long, funny, multi-part tale of tech support in Dubai as comments in Ellen Kushner's LJ.
  • Andrew Burt surveys the e-book marketplace and finds that vastly more books are available illegally than legally. He makes the obvious conclusion, which is not what I'd expected from him.
  • Set your clocks to 1993: Marvel is in talks for a Venom solo movie. Can Lobo be far behind?
  • Oh, and your least safe-for-work video of the day: Sarah Silverman is fucking Matt Damon. (Consumer Warning: no actual fucking of Matt Damon occurs in the video.)
  • And congratulations to Cory Doctorow on the birth of his daughter, who has so many silly names she'll be an honorary Zappa.
