Just for yuks, I downloaded Google Talk today. I’ve never been much into IM, but since this is from Google, maybe I’ll be able to do something interesting with it at some point. I’ve been kind of curious for a while about the possibility of using IM for various system notifications and stuff like that. Other IM clients I’ve played with haven’t had useful command-line versions (or APIs) that could be called from a script. I’m kind of curious to see what’ll happen with this one.

Ben Samuels’ Classic Golden Age Comic Book Cover Gallery
I may have blogged this page before. Even so, it’s worth plugging again. Lots of great old comic book covers!

The Thieves
New York Comic-Con
It looks like the new NYC Con is going to be February 24-26 next year. I’m interested, but there’s not much in way of details yet.
