  • Fairwood Press currently publishes Talebones, a magazine that has been publishing science fiction and fantasy short stories for eleven years. Yesterday they sent out a plea for subscriptions, saying that they are in financial distress and without new subscriptions, they’ll have to quit putting the magazine out.

  • European Honeybees commonly imported to Japan fall prey to the Japanese giant hornet. The local bees do not, instead they have evolved a fascinating and wierdly wonderful defense. National Geographic News has a video.<\/a>\n
  • An audio recording made on November 18, 1978, at the Peoples Temple compound in Jonestown<\/a>, immediately preceding and during the mass suicide and\/or murder of over 900 members of the cult, has been put on-line by someone who got the audio tape in 1979. This means that for your auditory indulgence, an alarming bit of educational history is vicerally available.<\/a>\n
  • The Steam Powered Internet Machine<\/i>, by Turner-prizewinning<\/a> artist Jeremy Deller<\/a> and his collaborator Alan Kane, links a steam engine to a computer, allowing visitors to surf the net, powered by one of the driving forces of the Industrial Age<\/a>. Although mischieviously impractical, (click to see the picture, it’s neat), the machine does work.<\/a>\n
  • Gez Fry<\/a> decided in 2002, without any experience whatsoever, that he wanted to make a living out of Japanese style illustration. After studying artists like Masamune Shirow<\/a>, he emerged with an astonishing enough portfolio to break into the big market, in only two years. Pingmag<\/a> has an essential interview that follows why he decided on his excellent life-changing decision and how he went about it.<\/a>
