I hope you’re all tucked safe and warm in your homes today—here in Colorado it’s cold and snow threatens and while that is the Christmas ideal, it reads better than it lives.
Anyway, here’s the lowdown for this week—
From the Whedonverse:
"Dr. Horrible" Web Series - Now available with
Amazon Video On Demand.
And another
teaser for Dollhouse along with soothing words that all is well with production.
Something fun--
Lock picking (for crimewriters ONLY, you understand)and
here. These are sites you can easily lose yourselves in so don't go exploring when you have cookies in the oven.
Book stuff: Another note about J.K. Rowling's The Tales of Beedle the Bard. It is now the fastest-selling title of 2008.
Reuters reported that "more than 2.6 million copies sold worldwide in less than two weeks."
Proceeds from sales of the book, which has a global print run of eight million copies, will go to the Children's High Level Group (CHLG), a charity for vulnerable children in Eastern Europe co-founded by Rowling.
A sad note—Gina was the first to alert me to this. Majel Barrett Roddenberry, the widow of "Star Trek" creator Gene Roddenberry and an actress whose longtime association with the "Star Trek" franchise included playing Nurse Christine Chapel in the original series, died early Thursday morning. She was 76. From the
LA Times:
She played the minor role of Nurse Chapel when the series began airing on NBC in September 1966. Roddenberry had another distinction: Beginning with the original series, she supplied the coolly detached voice of the USS Enterprise's computer -- something she did on the various "Star Trek" series.
Speaking of the Final Frontier:
LA Weekly picks Top Five Space Cowboys from TV and Film. Guess who is #1!
Justin Gustainis’ newest: Evil Ways, dynanite sequel to Black Magic Woman is available now! Go

Now go do fun things. I wish you all...
