Fandom Gives

Not "strike through", but strike back -- basically, taking the money that you've vowed not to give to LJ, and instead giving it to charities that help cases of rape, abuse, and incest. Many thanks to blueeyedtigress for the heads-up.

Dr. Grordbort's Infallible Æther Oscillators

For the mere expenditure of $690.00, you too can not only have your very own instrument of mass distraction, but you are entered into a drawing for the other two models in their catalogue!

(Somebody should tell philfoglio and kajafoglio about this. I think I shall. :)

Thanks to drzarron for the heads-up.

Steve Gilliard Passes Away

Damn it.

Steve Gilliard, one of the finest and angriest and most passionate voices in Left Blogostan, has passed away at the age of 41. He'd been sick for several months, and took a bad turn some weeks ago, and never got better.

Condolences to his family, friends, and colleagues. He was a hell of a voice, and we'll miss him.

Damn.

Steam Trek - The Moving Picture

This is simply amazing. Pay particular attention to the music cues. Thanks to siliconshaman for the heads-up.
