I LOVE NEIL GAIMAN! Those are awesome, Matty. I think your wifey wife would quite enjoy such a gift.
In semi-related news, NPR put out a list of the Top 100 SciFi and Fantasy Books as a navigation/reader decision guide. (like a mind-map of the most awesome nerd explosion ever... )
AND, The Princess Bride cast had a reunion
.
AND in unrelated news: crafting gone creepy via McSweeney's.

Grumble...
I was informed via e-mail that I administered "death by powerpoint" the other day.
... which was more true of the first presenter than me, but I honestly don't understand HOW you can present a document without going through and direct-quoting specific paragraphs. If the critical audience member had really listened, he would have noticed that we were saying a lot MORE than what was on the slides, but that yes, we did say what was on the slides, as well.
What can you do differently when you're talking about standards and contaminant reporting requirements anyway? Sing and dance? Show photos? ... of what? grr.

sorry.
