Some Things

[iainjclark]

I was going to post about Tom McRae's mixed bag of a new album, and my struggle to get back into doing some art for the first time in years. However I've accidentally switched my brain into standby mode so those topics will have to wait.

In the meantime, here are some links. Use them wisely. Use them in peace.

There's an Oxford Dictionary of Science Fiction, apparently.

Russia launches cyber-attack against Estonia. Allegedly. It's less exciting than it sounds, but you get the feeling that if the real world just picked up the pace a little it might catch a glimpse of science fiction on the horizon.

The finalists in the Best visual illusions of the year competition. I quite like the extremely simple leaning tower illusion.

Those visual illusions are great. I particularly like the leaning towers and the "steel magnolias".

It'll be a long sooner or later. :-) I really only mentioned it to guilt-trip myself into doing something!
