• Posted some Band AU fic recs to
fanthology and you should too, because damn if I haven't been having way more fun reading these than the fairytale fics.
• I bet McCauley Culkin has a blog.
• A short lesson in How To Use the Internet: internet image formats (summary: photos = use jpeg, cartoons = use png, animation = use gif)
• Techonrati: the next generation in vanity searches. (It seems that people with technorati profiles show up in search results more regularly than people without profiles, so if you do a search on yourself and the first three results are me, ummm, I'm really sorry about that.)

• Greatest invention ever. (Well, no, but the story makes you go awwwww!)
***
Good Night, and Good Luck:
God, the writing on Murrow's show. It almost feels cheap that Clooney should get the credit for this, when the words were there and the footage was there and in many cases spliced into the movie unedited. I liked what he did with the spies, though, they way they weren't targetted while innocent people were. Emphasizes how much McCarthy's actions were a power trip rather than an effective strategy.
Marginally related: a friend of the family is about to publish a book about fear in the fifties. (She said at dinner that people have forgotten how idotic Civil Defense was and how much protest there was against it, but I don't think that's true: there was that episode of South Park with the volcano, wasn't there?)
