Friday Linky, Knowing Everything

So. I posted how I took one look at his ruling to decide a British Judge got it wrong, and no lawyer cleared his or her throat and set me right. I posted yesterday about tax rates and no-one who actually understands them said anything. So I can only conclude that it's true: blogging makes you know everything.

You only encourage me.

Wellingtonians, take note: highly recommended art show on at the Adam Art Gallery up at Victoria University - Giovanni Battista Piranesi's Imaginary Prisons series of etchings from the mid-1700s. I saw them in Melbourne and they were amazing. Go see.

Friday linky: Moebius does Cthulhu in the pages of Heavy Metal; a fascinating computer game about the Israel/Palestine problem in which you play a journalist gathering quotes and comments from those on both sides and building them into stories (thanks Svend); we now know that Dumbledore was gay, but I like Neil Gaiman's take on JKR continuing to talking about the Potterverse much more than Salon.com's; and an essay about understanding American class divisions through the Facebook/MySpace divide. Facebook continues to grow at an incredible rate; I now have more Facebook friends than I have contacts on all my other social networking systems put together.

Next week I shall explain thermodynamics and, I don't know, Scandinavian fashion trends perhaps. Whatever I want. For I am a blogger, and blogging makes you know everything.

Well, I guess that's better than the alternative. Maybe everyone's off reading the Gekko-rubber's blog instead ;-)

I've got that issue of Heavy Metal, and there are stories in there far more Lovecraftian and, well, better than Moebius's weak effort.
