The Linker – 09/08/09

World

Christianity: you’re doing it wrong.
Man, you think North American Wal-Marts are bad? Check out what they do in China.
Two girls lost in a storm drain update their Facebook statuses rather than, you know, calling the Fire Department. Way to use those phones, ladies.

Media

Toronto gets a new evening newspaper. Three cheers for whipping dead horses.
A German group creates an AIDS awareness campaign featuring a woman having sex with Hitler. Subtle. And very NSFW.
According to one pyschologist, Facebook makes you smarter while Twitter makes you dumber. Three cheers to breaking even!

Science & Tech

So, there’s an Apple event tomorrow. New iPods! Beatles! Maybe a tablet? Oh my!
New UFO footage out of China. Apparently, 40 minutes of this same object was recorded by astronomers. I’ll wait until I see the tape.

Pop Culture

The live-action trailer for HALO 3: ODST makes me weep with delight.
Neil Gaiman’s library. My mouth, it drools.

The continuing metamorphosis of Nunc Scio

A blog is a hungry beast. It demands content with a fierce, insatiable yowl. And yes, dear reader, I have forced my own savage creature into a summer of fasting and fad diets.

Yes, I have been remiss in my blogging duties over the summer. But it was not all idle time. I’ve been thinking about what I want this blog to be, and the kinds of stuff I want to post. So, some new(ish) developments:

The return of THE LINKER. Back by popular demand, Nunc’s daily roundup of interesting links.
More reviews. Movies, books, music, video games…I’ll be sharing more of my thoughts on pop cultural ephemera. You know, because I’m a raving egoist and I suspect – nay, I am convinced - you need my opinions like mana from heaven.
Essays. I like writing long stuff, but I’m lazy. So this is a way to force me to write more and write better.

Also, I’m always keen on publishing the writing of friends and allies. Got an idea for an essay/review? Get in touch.

So there you go. Enjoy!
