There is no sunlight, and therefore I want to do not very much.
I had way too many windows and tabs open, some of them for months. It's time to pare these down a little and share some links. I'll probably be going through my Reader tomorrow. Yay Sunday linkspam?
Massimo Carnevale makes digital paintings of popular films. Wow.
Life studies by Glen Keane, classic Disney animator. (Basset puppy! OH MY HEART.)
The Last Breakfast - Because there must have been one of those too. Although the one in the New Testament probably had fewer cartoon characters.
The More/Real Stylus Cap is a funded Kickstarter project: it's a guy who's invented a thing so you can plop an iPad/iPhone/tablet stylus onto a regular Sharpie (or other, slimmer pen, if you prefer) and just go. The video is really engrossing because most of the pitch is just the inventor's friends drawing awesome comics around Chicago.
A comic about Athens! That story about Margaret Schilling is true, by the way. Ah, the Ridges.
Beautiful and unlikely shots from Google Earth. The world is amazing when we're not looking! (Warning: Some shots are also upsetting.)
Grandparents Discover Photobooth, on the other hand, is uniformly hilarious and great.
Want Neko's muscle car from the cover of Middle Cyclone? It could be yours! She's raffling it off to raise money for 826, which only solidifies her position as one of the most bodacious ladies around.
On being Susan Sontag's personal assistant. Spoiler warning: She's intense.
The Geopolitics of Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?
Discovering Suriname's Jewish past - I wish we talked more about this in the United States. Jews: We're everywhere! And not all the same!
Foods I want to try before it's spring (and sadly, given Chicago, I may have time): baked potato soup; Pasta Pan-Fried with Butternut Squash, Fried Sage, and Pine Nuts.
Folder full of photos from Iwo Jima; really something.
I've had this image open since the beginning of the year. I find it really haunting: Skip Muck and Faye Tanner. Wow.
Save Libraries! Reworked WWI and WWII-era posters that support funding for libraries and other things assholes want to take away from us.
The U.S. Senate is really, really broken. I couldn't even finish this article, it depressed me so much.
