Conal Cochran's Speech

Re-re-re-post, but it's great.

Stripped

Stripped is a full-length documentary on the world’s best cartoonists, featuring the first-ever recorded interview with Bill Watterson. The film explores the art of the comics strip, the cartoonists behind your favorite strips, and where the art form goes as newspapers die.

Unoccupied By Mortals

A Face Off-like series on SyFy with a Henson spin to it.  Premieres on March 25th.

Stealth Lights

Saw these on Halloweenforum.com.

They were used in this display:

I used two green ones for this photoshoot (but with the smaller batteries):
