I’m sure all my geek fans (OK, my one geek fan) have already bought this in softcover, but I just found out that everyone can get the hardcover version of the Koboldnomicon previously only available to contributors.
The subtle background on the cover shows up quite nicely in hardcover and, of course, it can serve as a family heirloom for generations to come.
I really enjoy the new song by The Shins, “Australia,” but the lyrics make me feel a little dumb:
Time to put the earphones on…
No!
La la la la
La la la la
Laaaaaaa
La la la la
(Born to multiply) Born to multiply
Born to gaze into night skies
All you want’s one more Saturday
Well look here until then
They’re gonna buy your nice time
So keep your wick in the air and your feet in the fetters
‘Till the day you come in doing cartwheels
We all pull out by ourselves
And your shape on the dance floor
Will have me thinking such filth and gouge my eyes
You’d be damned to be one of us girl
Faced with a dodo’s conundrum
I felt like I could just fly
But nothing happend every time I tried
Wooo, ooooh!
A dual-tone under wall
Selfish fool and hoped he’d save us all
Never dreamt of such sterile hands
You keep ’em folded in your lap
And raise them up to beg for scraps
You know he’s holding you down
With the tips of his fingers just the same
But you’ll be pulled from the ocean
But just a minute too late
Or changed by a potion
You’ll find a handsome young mate for you to love
You’ll be damned to pining through the windowpanes you know
You’ll trade your life for any ordinary Joe
Will do and I will grow old
Your nightmares only need a year or two to unfold
Been alone since you were twenty-one
You haven’t laughed since January
You try and think of this as so much fun
But we know it to be quite contrary
La la la la la la la
Dare to be one of us girl
Faced with the android’s conundrum
I felt like I should just cry
But nothing happens every time I take one on the chin
Your humor in your coat you don’t know how long I’ve been
Watching the lantern dim starved of oxygen
So give me your hand and let’s jump out the window
“Faced with the android’s conundrum?” Say what? Someone help me out here, please.
Well, that was a surprise. The new new Daily Press site has launched. I guess we need to get cracking on prepping the Star site for the conversion.

And, no, I have no idea what the heck that was actually measuring.
