- Via io9, via hhertzof in Google Reader: Lovelace and Babbage: Together, They Fight Crime! Includes Wolverine!Brunel. ♥ The notes are also really interesting and fun to read, and occasionally say things like this:

The Difference Engine prints large tables of numbers without error. If that is not cool enough for you, you are reading the wrong comic my friends. It does battle vampires at some point but it has its own way of doing that thank you very much.

There is swag, too, and I am trying to decide whether spending about £20 on this t-shirt is a) ridiculous or b) sensible: I usually buy all my clothes in charity shops so my perspective on what is good value is a little skewed.

- My parents emailed me this v. silly video of sheep, which made me laugh a great deal.

- The Miserable Life of Tom Quinn, Spy. Being The Tragic Story of the Third Saddest Spy in the History of the World. By A Lady.

- HOME TEAM 2009: ROUND TWO. Everyone go and vote for your favourites! Round one was full of AGONISING CHOICES but I found this one a bit easier. Am v. sad that Kira is losing to Daria though: yes, Daria is awesome, but ...Kira! Also I still lament the fact that Wendy Watson went out in round one. :(

The Lovelace and Babbage cartoon is a bit tricky to navigate in places, but it's worth it.

I've just read the first one - and Tweeted the link!

Also Ruuuuuuuuuthhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!

Ahem! I SO need a Ruth icon... And a Romana I icon (she adds randomly)

Sometimes I feel that I should have some Spooks icons that aren't Ruth, but then the feeling passes. I LOVE HER.

Are yours snaggable?

(I confess I had fits of giggles over her breaking the desk lamp 'cos that's SO me!)

They are indeed! I made this one (plus a few more), and the table lamp one is from nicola-walker.net

Cool! I'll check those out and snag at least one...
