It is the birthday of Strong Light today. Now you know.

From the Online Weirdness file: a petition to save the TV show The Sarah Connor Chronicles from cancellation. The one complication: not only has the TV show in question not been cancelled yet, it hasn’t even started screening. (Yes, it’s a conscious attempt to poke fun at trigger-happy TV networks, Fox in particular; but still, that is quite weird, yeah?)

A beaut tiki tour through Kiwi slang. A lot of it is a few generations out of date, but it’s a good trip through the lexicon. Aussies and Brits will spot some crossover slang I’m sure. (I can’t remember where I picked this up from. Put your hand up if it was your blog. EDIT: It was, of course, the redoubtable off-black!)

Scott McCloud, comics creator and comics theorist, produced the first two parts of something called ‘The Right Number’ back in ’03. It has a unique presentation method that you really need to see for yourselves.
This was under the now-defunct Bitpass micropayments system. Micropayments look increasingly unlikely to materialise, so with Bitpass gone McCloud has made the published parts free. Part Three is meant to be coming soon, also to be free. Definitely check this one out.

The slang is from Sam via Kiwilauren.
Give strong a big hug from me!!
It was too! I thought it was him but didn’t find the link on his blog with a quick scan, and was too lazy to look harder. I’ll edit the post…
