+ Gallery of 12 Vintage Walkman players. At one time there existed a solar powered Walkman!
+ Up for debate: 61 essential postmodern reads: an annotated list. (And no, I didn't join the Infinite Summer project at the beginning of the season. I'm contemplating an Infinite Fall instead. Or maybe an Infinite Winter.)
+ Do you (Heart) the Apocalypse? Sure you do! Quiet Earth is a film blog "Dedicated to genre film and all things post apocalyptic". Lots of material here, films from around the world, small budget, big budget, no budget. Trailers, stills, reviews, production reports, and more.
+ "Beat 'em or burn 'em. They go up pretty easy." Zombie hunting goes academic. Seriously. Read the recently published paper When Zombies Attack: Mathematical Modeling of an Outbreak of Zombie Infection. Eradication, rather than containment or assimilation, is the only feasible solution.
+ Even if you're not a scientist or an academic who will ever display a poster at a society meeting, this Advice on Designing Scientific Posters is still useful for many displays of information.
