Super DragAndGo

You know, it's always the little things. Like not expecting much from the new Doctor Who, and it turns out to be so giddily fun it has my writer friends and I answering the phone with "Harriet Jones, MP for Flydale North."

Or, as I'm using Firefox to browse the Interwebs because I'm not, oh, INSANE, there's a free Firefox extension calld Super DragAndGo. Sounds like a dumb little idea -- use your mouse to drag a link downward, and it pops the link open in a tab behind your current window. Drag it up and it pops up as the front tab. Drag an image/file off to a blank spot on your computer and it automatically downloads said binarytronics to your Desktop.

Install it. Close your Firefox. Reopen. And suddenly enjoy feeling like you live in the FUTUUUUURE. Seriously. I can't stop smiling. For most of you this will mean nothing, but for some of you sharing my prediliction for obsessive gadgetophilia (why, hello, Mr. Waid), this will make you giggle like a schoolgirl.

And so, nothing further today. Will work on the promised upgrades and category changes to the sidebar this weekend. If you've recently crosslinked for pimpage, please remind me with an e-mail. I think I've got my list together, but not sure.

One quick thing, though, for all the young directors out there: slo-mo is not your friend. SLO MO IS NEVER YOUR FRIEND.

Almost Forgot, a Memo ...

To: Any passers-by who though I was overreacting a bit when I went off on Karl Rove a while back, with a terrifying prescience indicating my growing mutant powers.

Eyes deep in catching up with work, but a hearty "nice to meet you " to everyone who now comes here from the Con, and a shout out to the readers who showed up at the pub on Friday. Those who did learned about 3-D CGI crotch-mapping, just how frikkin' genius Ben Edlund's GF episode was, and how David Slack wound up running Teen Titans thanks to Playboy Video.

Part Two of the podcast I did for Evil Genius Chronicles is up.

There will be some big changes coming in the sidebar over the next week. Categories will be re-arranged. I assure everyone who I've been in touch with e-mailtronically, I will be updating the links. Also, I'm switching the focus back to the WRITING advice series for a bit. The questions already sent in will be answered, and if you've got any new ones send 'em to the address to the right.
