I'm reasonably certain that I saw this scene in a movie or TV show a few years ago, but I can't place it.

Speaking as a Canadian, what do I get to call Southerners now?

Cory: Can I recommend some kind of short hand for "Today in my ongoing series of photos from my travels". Think of all the valuable key strokes you could save. Maybe just "My latest photo".

#1: I guess you've never been to Vancouver?

I'm not sure I want to know the answer to this question, but what's the small hole in the front for?

I was immediately reminded of the excellent-looking concordances by Robin Furth that accompany the Dark Tower books. Stephen King, nearly as rich and apparently wiser than Ms. Rowling, has given his stamp of approval to the books. Heck, he wrote the introduction to them.

Holy crap, Boing Boing covered a sports story. Sort of.

Cory@7: I have a question with regards to your comment: "this has always been the status-quo in publishing -- the thing that is profitable erodes and some new profitable thing has to be invented".

I see this in audio and video publishing, as well as newspapers, but how has the book (specifically, fiction) publishing profitability model changed in the past 200 years? Or is it just slower to become antiquated than 8-track and Betamax tapes?

Hopefully the folks at Random House are reading this thread, because I just wanted to say: strong work. I've only ever bought a couple of audio books on iTunes, but I recently became an eMusic subscriber. Now I can get audio books there too--super cool.
