Free-market food fight
New college-educated NY street food vendors are doing Sharks vs. Jets with the old hot dog guys. “The owners of Street Sweets both left six-figure jobs to build their business, and the Big Gay Ice Cream Truck is driven by Doug Quint, a doctoral candidate in bassoon performance at CUNY. ‘The whole Brooklyn Philharmonic season was canceled,” he said. “I have to get through the summer somehow.”‘ (via Shaima, who needs to get a blog so I can credit her for this 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.
