Week gone too quick for blog. Ahhh. Also, not happy that laptop destined to go for repair shop AGAIN. Still under warranty at least!
Interview with international comic-shop guy & friend of this blog, Andrew Salmond, about comics retail and comics community.
Marie sent this aggro pro-literacy fight song:
Photographer asks strangers on the street to get cosy. Results are good photos.
Right-wing nuts guide to Egypt (from Gawker) – just barely still relevant!
Dylan Horrocks blogs about discovering the geek side of the Egypt protests.
Everyone, including me, links to the Malcolm-Gladwell-mockery that has been a welcome side effect of the Egypt protests.

I dunno… I think I want some salad. I want it so bad! Oh the joy that could be mine!
And never interrupt me while I’m reading a book!
That was SO ILLEGAL!
Love that wrestling link man!
