An interview with Bill Watterson. He created Calvin and Hobbes (my favorite comic strip — I’m trying to figure out how to take some of the books to Africa) and this is the first interview with him in 15 years.
A good friend, whom I’ve gone to Africa with twice, writes about the Prodigal Son with a mind for spiritual justice, and not just worldly justice.
A favorite band of mine, Midlake, has a new CD out today. Stream it for free here.
Speaking of Midlake, here is a link to download their Denton Session. Need new music? Check it out. Free and legit.
In more bizarro news, it seems that the Somali pirates fashion themselves as modern day Robin Hoods. For one — they funnel a lot of resources back into their incredibly poor communities and two — they are smuggling in aid to Haiti. I don’t recommend any one get into pirating though; I can’t condone armed robbery/hijacking/kidnapping as a modern valid job.
