Story on sci-mag industry and relationship to the online world. Interesting, need to read. Lots of Scalzi quotes.
-
Good article talking about the sudden surge in success for NCIS — it went from being moderately, solidly successful, to being massively successful, now virtually number one on US TV. Down to several things, includnig Aussie showrunner Shane Brennan.
-
New site that lets you pick baby names based on personality traits. Interesting tool, for character naming as well?
-
New Star Trek movie trailer online. Each character gets a small look in (love Scotty's line!) but it's mostly about Kirk and Spock. Have to admit, it does look pretty damn good.

So Internode has just started selling Chumbys in Australia (unavailable before). Did really like the look of these and want one, but it's $299 minimum to buy, so likely too much. Not anyway cause they're good, and localised will be better.
-
Historical article on the origins and invention of canning, something Sallie would be interested in.
-
Another agency to note. They do lots of non-fiction, but definitely some fiction as well.
