Awesome volcano action<\/a> in the central North Island. Worth a look, non-Kiwis. Walking over this volcano is a very popular day expedition.<\/p>\n

Juan Cole lays out his 10 requirements to get a lasting peace in Israel\/Palestine<\/a>. It seems to me like a pretty realistic list, and as he puts it: good luck.<\/p>\n

And, um, here’s an indie comic with an ambitious premise<\/a>… an American baseball coach recruiting as his new pitcher a “Palestinian rock-thrower”. Hmm.<\/p>\n

Ryan North, who I mostly know through links from Kate Beaton but has been linkied here before for his in-depth analysis of the Back to the Future novelisation<\/a>, has a kickstarter up for a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure version of Hamlet<\/a>, illustrated by Ms Beaton and many others. Sounds groooovy, and actually quite interesting too. Blew through its target in the first few hours of day one – 29 days to go!<\/p>\n

Speaking of Kickstarter and Hamlet – here’s one for a project to adapt Hamlet into a six-episode series<\/a>. Also sounds very interesting. I really need to get more familiar with this play. <\/p>\n

Short but lovely piece on the politics of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld books<\/a> (via Tof Eklund), as a companion piece to Laurie Penny’s interview with the man<\/a> (via Laurie Penny). <\/p>\n

Here’s a comic that mashes up the Muppets and the recent Thor movie<\/a>. (Drawn to roughly follow Roger Langridge’s character redesigns.) It’s worth a look – way more than you might think.<\/p>\n

Problems with the different cloud storage services, and what to do to fix them.<\/a><\/p>\n

In comments last week, Stephanie reminded me about the Lizzie Bennett Diaries<\/a>, which I linked back in July & promptly forgot about. This video-diary adaptation of Pride & Prejudice has racked up 65ish episodes of their core storyline plus loads of other bits and pieces by other characters. Check it out!<\/p>\n

Mashup oddity: Nine Inch Nails with, er, the sound effects from Super Mario Bros.
