Penguicon 6.0

[Error: unknown template video]
Timeshredder's video summary of Penguicon.

Last year it was Grindhouse, this year its "Zombie Strippers!"

The movie makes a lot of references to philosophy and claims to be loosely based on the play "Rhinoceros" by Eugène Ionesco.

Earth Day and the Food Standard

Easiest thing to do for Earth day if you live in southern Ontario or neighbours is to turn off your furnace. Which I will do as taking the bus is not on today unfortunately. It has to do with allergies and needing to log some gym time.

Jay Lake found this interesting article that links the rise in food prices with Chinese and other Asian tigers needing to spend their US$ and not being able buy American companies using them to buy food instead increasing demand beyond the norm.
