- BBC Radio 7’s The 7th Dimension has begun a 17-part unabridged reading of John Wyndham’s awesome cozy catastrophe, The Day Of The Triffids. The book was way, WAY better than the film.

- Boing Boing points us to this Star Wars sand sculpture. Cool-looking, yes…but I think it would take an extraordinary amount of control of the Force to get Yoda to sit on Darth Vader’s lap.
Some’n wonky with the HTML formatting of this section on the main page.
Just an FYI.
