The U.S. is finally getting in on the children's books in cereal boxes racket thanks to Cheerios. Jacket Copy doesn't give a date for when this will start but the books are by first-time authors and they are chosen through a contest.
io9 says that there is going to be a new A Wrinkle in Time movie. That's good news because the first one was rather bad.
If you haven't heard of The 826 Project yet (and I hadn't), check it out. It's a youth (ages six to eighteen) creative writing program that is funded by some pretty unique shops. Just looking at the classes offered by the local Seattle chapter is inspiring. (via Pages to type before I sleep ...)

And finally, I really hope that you consider tuning in to the Discovery Channel for their follow up series to Planet Earth -- Life. Techland sings its praises and the first two episodes air on Sunday. (And yes, it's narrated by Oprah.)
Thinking of re-starting my zoology career,

Thanks for the heads-up on Life. I'll have to record it. We have every episode of "Planet Earth" recorded and go through phases of watching it. Great great stuff.
ReplyDeleteWe have the first two Life episodes recorded now but haven't watched them yet. I want to save them for a time when I can pay attention and not just have them on in the background! Planet Earth was awesome!
