I have to close a ton of tabs in order to reboot a suddenly unstable MacBook Pro. I have not read all of these yet, but they all look interesting, so I thought I would share.

• Locus is hiring.
• Why Joost is Good for TV.
• Kate Elliott: Why Writing a Fat Fantasy Series is a) really easy, b) very, very hard, c) fun, and d) not much better than beating your head against the wall until it's bloody – all at the same time.
• Ozymndias: Your Thoughts on the Future of Live? Open-source R&D, niiiice.
• Proceedings of the Athanasius Kircher Society. God bless the bizarre.
