So, it's been a while since I posted here, apparently. I completely missed doing an appreciation post for Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers Day (and I can't even say "But at least I marked the day by showing a fantasy writer monetary appreciation, ie. buying his book", because I didn't get around to that until two days later). Whoops?

Here, have some links:

Dance and movement therapist David Alan Harris talks about his work with former child soldiers in Sierra Leone - The most moving thing I've heard in quite a while. (Note that it does include descriptions of the child soldiers' experiences - the bit where somebody gets an ear cut off is at the mild end of the range - so if that's likely to be a problem even with an uplifting end to look forward to, be warned.)

Conjuring Slydini - Dick Cavett recalls one of the great close-up magicians. In two parts (part 1, part 2), each accompanied by a half-hour of video of Slydini in action.

And a quick palate cleanser:

"You loved Batman Returns. You moderately enjoyed Superman Returns. Now..." - I spent the first 30 seconds trying to figure out where this was going, then laughed hysterically for about a minute straight.
