Young adult sections in bookstore -- a parallel universe of little-regarded awesomeness

Was I the only one who read any books by William Sleator when I was a teenager? "The Boy Who Reversed Himself" was a story about alternate dimensions that I not only found totally compelling, but really encouraged me to read more - especially sci-fi.

I understand they're still great reads now, though I haven't read any of his books since I was a teen. Check them out:

Somebody give Terry Gilliam a call! Or better still, Tim Burton. Hey - wasn't Tim Burton supposed to be dong his own version of Alice in Wonderland anyway? Are these projects related? Love to see either of these directors have a crack at this project!

Droid Sans Mono, a sweet monospace font

Nice font, but it looks so very similar to "Lucida Console" which is my personal favourite for all programming. The 2 main drawbacks of this new font however are (1) No bold, and (2) no italics. This makes it practically useless for most development programs (like Notepad++) that make heavy use of bold and italics! :-(
