• Can they actually make a TV version of Flash Gordon work? I’ll be interested to find out. Wonder if they’ll be doing it with a sense of parody like the excellent 1980 film did, or if they’re actually gonna try to play this version as straight ahead serious.

• The posts to this site have slowed recently. One of the key reasons for that is my trying to prep a new version of this site, which might launch this weekend (or more likely some time in the near future after that). It’ll be running on the powerful web CMS system known as Drupal. In related news, Drupal just got 20 projects sponsored in Google’s 2007 Summer Of Code. Very cool news. Thanks, Google, for helping to make a great system even better.
