Various and sundry things for you to check out:

• BoingBoing.net aims us to the disturbing Little Golden Book-style art of Josh Cooley.
• Find out about the Free Software Foundation.
• Our own seanan_mcguire tells us how YOU can gain the right to nominate this year's Hugo Awards.
• Speaking of awards, the Oscar nominations are up... as are the Razzies.

Consider this an open thread.

Oscar nomination day, my annual day of headdeskery. I have exactly 6 hours to come up with a full list of press contacts for all the nominated features. Fortunately, with the might of 100 interns, this is not actually impossible. [flexes]

Sent you an email earlier...have you had the chance to check it out?

Well some bad news/good news about work. Bad news is that I think I nodded off for a second after lunch. There wasn't much to do and I was waiting for people to get back to me and the programming article about DetailView (it's a .Net thing) was dry and boring. Good news, I wasn't caught. Better news I got moved into an actual OFFICE for a few weeks. Not a desk in a training room. Not a cubical. An office. My contract position was to cover the duties of two people going on maternity leave. One starts tomorrow so I got moved into her office today. She's gone for 3 weeks (her wife is the one having the baby) so I get her office until she gets back. The other person is due next month. So maybe I'll get her office for a while.

Office! Yes! Hoody hoo!

And I will repeat one very important thing about Hugo nominating. If you're going to join Renovation, you have to do so by January 31. That's FIVE days from now, so you need to hurry. If you can't afford the full membership right now, get a supporting membership now, then convert when it's feasible.
