Wow. Some downtown San Diego lots are pre-selling parking now. If you want to park underneath the convention center, I’m guessing you’ll need to buy it today.

Argh! I totally understand his decision (a 3 year commitment on the other side of the planet)…
Guillermo Del Toro departs “The Hobbit”
Guillermo Del Toro announced today that he is no longer directing the two movies based on J.R.R Tolkien’s “The Hobbit”…
Argh! I totally understand his decision (a 3 year commitment on the other side of the planet has turned into 6 years, and they still can’t start filming due to MGM’s financial problems), but this is one hell of a missed opportunity.

[ABC Cancels Romantically Challenged, Scrubs, Ted, Flashforward]
I can't say I didn't see it coming. FlashForward has been a study in missed opportunities from episode two onward, and Better Off Ted had “Too Good to Last” stamped on every frame. OTOH, at least we know ABC will *show* the last two episodes of FF. I'm not so confident about Ted.
I like this characterization of the San Diego/Los Angeles battle
Comic-Con Move From San Diego To Anaheim Or LA? (Hell No! We Won’t Go!)
I like this characterization of the San Diego/Los Angeles battle: “Are you a fan show with trade elements, or are you a trade show that lets in fans…?”
Neat idea for reusing obsolete infrastructure.

This looks incredibly useful, and I wish I had time to read the whole thing now.
Warning: Geeky humor ahead!
For the drama, Shakespeare and literature folks.
Et tu, Pal? Then fall, Pac-Man!If you were stuck in an Office Max during a full scale vampire attack, what would you use as a weapon?
Even if you don’t care about comics, read it for the answer to the question: “If you were stuck in an Office Max during a full scale vampire attack, what would you use as a weapon?”

Critics take on Phantom of the Opera sequel, Love Never Dies
Critics take on Phantom of the Opera sequel, Love Never Dies
Favorite quote from the round-up: “For some, Love Never Dies is “Paint Never Dries”, and for others the composer is at his musical best. I tend to agree with both factions.”

If you've been watching Lost, these are great. If you haven't, they probably won't make much sense. (Kind of like the show itself, come to think of it….)

Weird: I saw the aftermath of this landslide yesterday morning around 9:15, but couldn't see that it was blocking the connectors on the other side. I figured it had happened in the last few days, not half an hour earlier!

I just realized I’ve been misreading a series of spam subjects for the past week. It’s “We have 78 *vacancies* in your area and want to invite you to become one of these selected few,” not “We have [x] *vaccines*…” That makes a *lot* more sense!

What's the most mis-targeted ad you've gotten on Facebook? I just got one for a girls' summer camp (no kids) in Vermont (I live in California). I think the worst-targeted I've seen were the dating sites FB used to show me even though they knew I was married.

Animation of the Earth without clouds over the course of a year. The advancement and retreat of snow during winter in the Northern Hemisphere is the most dramatic, but the shift from green to brown and back in the tropics and temperate areas is also interesting.
