Blenderites: It looks like things are starting to work again on the Love Blender but there are still some bugs (like the author profile page isn't showing up). I'll be getting things up to speed this evening.

Funny of the Moment

Article of the Moment

News of the Moment

Image of the Moment
The miniseries "V" was on one of the movie channels the other day...everyone remember its logo of a spraypainted "V" but I was more struck by the Vistors' "official" logo, which I've tried to reconstruct here. I like how it looks other worldy but still useable, like the alien countdown LED timer in Predator.

Incidentally, the current overapplied gag on Slashdot is "I, for one, welcome our new ______ overlords", from Kent Brockman in this episode of The Simpsons, which fits the old miniseries well.
