Nothing from Blizzard, but I was invited to hook up for sex and received several strong leads on enhancements for what's in my pants, so it wasn't a total loss.

Not tonight, honey. My testicles have a headache.

Is there evidence that any of these measures actually convince people to buy instead of rent/stream? I get frustrated and annoyed by the delayed release dates, missing extras and locked unrated editions, but never to the point that I put the DVD back in the Netflix sleeve and drive to Wal-Mart. I assume the studios…

"The scientists have the viruses locked up tight for now..."

"The app, appropriately called WalkSafe"

I'd also buy that for my "kid's" room without hesitation.

I didn't really start enjoying it until about the last quarter of the book. As I read through the first two-thirds I kept thinking that Grossman didn't care about Brakebills—he was just going through the motions of exposition so he could finally tell his version of the Narnia story (which is worth the wait, by the…

You could try a heavier matte stock.

That was pretty much my reaction when I found out (my fault—I really need to learn to read the fine print) that Hulu Plus has some shows that will stream through the PS3 and others that are "web-only."

It's OK, Bill. You're still the best Jell-O Pudding Man.

In related news, Blizzard announced today that the "demon squirrel" is being added as a foe in Diablo III.

OK, that makes sense. Ergo, my job in healthcare publishing does not make me an expert in healthcare publishing. Thanks, Rachel.

Jason, how will you guys vet these "experts?" I think this is a great idea to build the LH community, but if anyone on the Internet can call himself or herself an expert, I'm left wondering if your readers will need to take the information with a grain of salt and do independent research to verify the experts' claims.…
