My Mind Lately

Catching up from the closing of Fighter this week...

Things which I find to be awesome:

• The phrase "death by misadventure," which apparently applies to Amy Winehouse but not to, say, Moammar Qaddaffi.
• The fact that the much talked about Joss Whedon Much Ado About Nothing includes one of my favorite double acts in the world, BriTANick. Seriously, check them out.
• This star-studded trailer of madness for John Hodgman's newest book:

THAT IS ALL from John Hodgman

Things get better:

• Like the MTA agreeing to put more L train service now, not later.
• And NYU proposing a new research lab in a derelict former MTA building.
• People are on the quest to create the first (?) audio-only video game, partly (but not solely!) to bring accessibility to the blind.
