Random Thoughts

Today the new comics all start on GirlAMatic. My interest is in The Mad Bun by Rachel Hartman, of course. I hope that someday she'll give us some more Amy Unbounded adventures. Check out Rachel's Blog for the lowdown on why Amy stopped getting published, by the way...

Happy Anniversary to Phil and Kaja Foglio!

Mercury Studio has pictures.

Polite Scott is Redirected Male at Sequential Tart. I liked the "Crisis on Infinite Exam Rooms."

An Oregon victim of the RIAA's extortion techniques is countersuing. Basically, the RIAA and their reps told her that they had "proof taken from her computer" that she'd illegally downloaded songs, which she maintains she never did.

I hope she wins.

What is Pi.
