A Short Packed cartoon that somewhat explains what Jim Hines (and John Scalzi) is doing with with his "pose for fundraising" thing.
Just so you know the "ebook vs dead-tree book" debate isn't just being waged in writer/publisher circles. It's also something us designers discuss (with a slightly different focus).
Seven strange evolutionary experiments in prehistoric versions of modern day animals. Intelligent creator my Aunt Fanny. One of the things the Cracked writers miss is that evolution is not a "forward" process.

Some people don't quite understand the trade off of "gated" communities. In the wake of Sandy, some private communities realize that they can't "do it all themselves." Strange that. Here's the thing, if you have private streets, private police, private sewers, then really, no you shouldn't get government rebuilding funds. That was the decision you made when you went into the gated community and made all those things private. That's the price of not allowing community access. Sucks sometimes, doesn't it. Understand my disdain is only for those "private" gated communities and not for those area associations. (Grokked from Jay Lake)
What happens when you keep cutting and cutting? Your infrastructure collapses from neglect. And the the bill to repair it is much, much higher than maintenance would have been. Trust me.

A bus that uses the Tesla effect to charge as it goes. Well, actually, while it makes a stop. (Grokked from Matt Staggs)
