Yeah, this post is about five days late. Too bad.
Miscellaneous Miscellany:
- From this post I found this NY Times article on Masi Oka, a TV star on Heroes. (Which, incidentally, kicks in again
in a few weeksnext week.) - Time to give up those resolutions from shake well before use, a blog that will likely be blogrolled here shortly.
- This Porn Demon rant over at waiterrant.net had me laughing and/or smiling.
- The Overachieving Women Manifesto from gapingvoid. (Incidentally, gapingvoid got me to the previous 2 links/blogs/sites.)
- I, for one, welcome our new robot overlords. (Ctrl+Alt+Del) [meme link]
- Fifty states, fifty slogans a la diesel sweeties.
- Apparently "they" are making a movie of I Am Legend, an excellent Richard Matheson book. Apparently, "they" have already made two movies based on this novel (The Omega Man and The Last Man on Earth). Who knew?!?
- This Dork Tower comic (1/08/07) led to this post by the author in which he discloses that "My Fandom Is Random" shirts will be forthcoming. I will need to purchase one of said shirts. (From the comments in the post, I learned of Black Market Beagles, a store featuring Serenity-themed t-shirts et al.)
- An (old) interview with Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon. (Sequential Tart)
- Another take on The Onion Cellar Presents The Dresden Dolls. (The Phoenix)
- Bad me: I bought this and this. (Yay for Michael Turner and Aspen Comics!)
Patent Learning Resources:
- How do I read a patent? (Brown & Michaels)
- Elements of the Patent Application
- Landis on Mechanics of Patent Claim Drafting (Faber)
- Drawings for Utility Patents and Design Patents

So many quotes from Say Anything should be added to my quotes page...
