The most backward law
‘Now, it’s like the Stone Age, it’s like a Muslim country here [...] This is the most backward law, it is not for a civilized country. If this was Iran, Iraq, I wouldn’t be surprised. But to pass this law in the United States, what is this government doing?’ (via Sarah Monette)

Web Standards for E-books — Joe Clark is always worth reading, but in this article he’s tackling the intersection of my two professions. Excellent stuff.
#They get points off for staring the article with, “Since ancient times,” but if you need to hand someone an intro reading list for urban fantasy, you could do a lot worse than Library Journal’s list. My other quibble? I would have starred Bitten.
#Amazon and the price of silence — a mini-case study in PR.
#Notes from New Sodom: The Kerspindle Kerfuffle — “For those of you who don’t know, the tiny autonomous archipelago of Åthorland lies off the coast of this fair nation of Art. Just a spattering of craggy islands, it is, each with little more than a stony croft inhabited by a wild-eyed Åthor, with only their herd of kittens for company and inspiration.”
