“Your manuscript is both good and original, but the parts that are good are not original, and the parts that are original are not good.”
Movie flops aren't just about losing money. Yes, big budgets that go bust are one consideration. But flops are also about lofty expectations dashed and high profiles brought low. They trigger embarrassing catcalls from the peanut gallery and a general whoever-thought-that-was-a-good-idea-in-the-first-place bewilderment.

Rob Walker writes about ThinkGeek's awesome Tauntaun sleeping bag for the NY Times Magazine. I guess sometimes being blatantly targeted for your own childhood memories isn't so bad after all: The actual bag is adult-size.

The names sound unlikely — Squeez Bacon, Surgestix Inhalable Caffeine Stix, p-Teq’s USB Pregnancy Test Kit, etc. — but they are presented as any item on the site would be: catalog description and list ...

Quite a spectacle. From music critic Richie ...

Now the theme of the 2010 national librarians' conference, sponsored by the University of Oklahoma Libraries, will be "Climbing Out of the Box: Repackaging Libraries for Survival." The conference, featuring ...
