What do we have for you? Some links, maybe? Yes! I think we do!

Low End Theory podcasts: The Low End Theory podcasts are amazing mixes, two DJs to a podcast, coming out the LA hip-hop/glich/bass melting pot. Best DJ to start with : The Gaslamp Killer. He's amazing.

Two Gentlemen of Lebowski: The Big Lebowski, rewritten as a Shakespearean play, available as a PDF. "Whither the money, Lebowski?"

Formspring: I have been answering questions and making the world a better place. This may continue.

Over at The Signal weblog, you'll find a new Signal mix. Number 62, if you can believe it. Number 62 if you can't believe it. You're just going to have to work harder at believing.

For the last week, we've been on vacation in Indiana. So most time has been spent relaxing as opposed to Tweet-punking or Facebookery, but there are a few things that have seen updates, if you're looking for something to do.

Flickr - Photos and one short film of a child impersonating a werewolf.

Formspring - All questions submitted to date have been answered. (Whether the site's instability will allow further use is unknown.)

YouTube - I favorited one whole video this last week. It's hilarious. But maybe I've favorited some other stuff you haven't seen yet.

If you poke yer nose in over at The Signal weblog, you'll find that EP061 has just been posted. That's pretty exciting, yeah?

...William McPhee noted that a disproportionate share of the audience for a hit was made up of people who consumed few products of that type. (Many other studies have since reached the same conclusion.) A lot of the people who read a bestselling novel, for example, do not read much other fiction. By contrast, the audience for an obscure novel is largely composed of people who read a lot. That means the least popular books are judged by people who have the highest standards, while the most popular are judged by people who literally do not know any better. An American who read just one book this year was disproportionately likely to have read “The Lost Symbol”, by Dan Brown. He almost certainly liked it.
