Lester Pearson cartoons are hilarious and at the same time likely to be incomprehensible to non-Canadians.

Of the anime-esque shows on Netflix, which ones would you recommend? I prefer shows over movies because they are easier to fit into my schedule.

No doubt I'd do the same but although this book was released back in November, IIRC, it's never made it to any branch of Chapters that I can tell. And not Bakka Phoenix either, not that shopping there is convenient for me.
I am in the process of setting things up so I can order books online, which I have never done, because if I have to pay upfront for stuff, I want a discount.
I love this book and will happily evangelize it to anyone who holds still long enough.

Speaking of Hugo nominations
Jan. 15th, 2011 05:16 pmDespite my lack of diligence in posting reviews, I've been reading their books and been impressed enough by the consistent quality of the Haikasoru line that I will now begin my Nick Mamatas for a Best Editor (Long Form) Hugo nomination campaign.

Spotted over on Tor:
the premise of Miracle Day, the upcoming American Torchwood series; people stop dying and as this comment from the reviewer asserts:
[nobody mention Death Takes a Holiday]
The human death rate on Earth is about 60 million a year IIRC, so the net effect of people not dying is for the net population growth rate to go up by about 0.9% per year. That doesn't seem like it should lead to calamitous overcrowding in the short run (although that is a significant bump in net population growth).
Dear the science fiction community: why do so many of your books, shows, movies and articles read like they were written by the Voluntary Human Extinction Movement, in which one of the worst possible outcomes is for there to be more people?

the planet’s population threatens to increase by millions as the weeks go on, so the world turns to the only person who has experience with not dying: Captain Jack Harkness.

Noticed on Whatever: Today’s Writing Contest To Run Like Hell From
It’s this one, from an outfit called First One Digital Publishing. Why? Because it costs $149 to enter, and because of this little gem in the contest fine print:
