Huge thanks to John for sending me an early birthday present: Joss Whedon’s futuristic Slayer comic Fray. I wasn’t sure I’d like it – I don’t think I’ve read a real comic book in my life – but as soon as I opened it I couldn’t put it down. I read the whole thing in…

Oscar Contest Volunteers Needed: We have almost 300 entries! That’s incredible. Would any of you folks with TiVos be able to help me out with something? The time-delay on the show here is going to create some difficulty in scoring the contest. I’ll be able to get the results in real-time off the Web, but…
