1. Youtube: enabling American preschoolers to watch the Teletubbies in Portuguese. Somehow I don't think that's what its founders had in mind.
2. Overheard in the Castiron household: "Spiders with opposable thumbs. Now, *that* would be scary. Why didn't Tolkien think of that for Shelob?"
3. Rule: If visiting Austin for the Texas Book Festival, assume the weather will be warm. Doesn't matter what weekend they hold it; it will be warm enough to make the inside of the tents extremely uncomfortable. I think there's been one exception in the years I've attended.
