May 21, 2007: RIP Lloyd Alexander

Lloyd Alexander, author of the Chronicles of Prydain, died last week.

I encounted Prydain in my high school library, reading The Black Cauldron first. Yes, that's out of order, and ever since I've been extremely careful to research series before starting.

My misadventures aside, the adventures of Taran, Assistant Pig-Keeper, have stuck in my head. I guess it's time to track down those books again, and give them a re-read.

Kind of like raising a glass in salute, but more fitting for an author.

Warehouse 23 News: Mmm, Foamy

When it comes to randomly determining a number, dice do the job splendidly. However, they could use a little work in the visibility department. They're so tiny and hard to read. And Eris help you if they roll under something. Well, no more! To solve all these problems, we present these giant novelty Foam Dice! Giant and novelty? Such a combo cannot be defeated!
