Mark Evanier has some funny anecdotes about his involvement with the Dungeons & Dragons cartoon show, and links to Michael Reaves’ unproduced “final” episode of the series.

Peter David
Apparently, I didn’t mention so far that Comics (and Star Trek novelization) writer Peter David has a nice site, with a blog. Lots of Buffy/Angel reviews.
I met Peter David at the San Diego Comic Con in 1990, and asked him the inevitable “why did you kill Jean DeWolfe“?. He said he’d killed her off in his story precisly because of the reaction it would provoke, because this was a character fans cared about. Clever guy.

Sacred Texts, 22 Goblins
Sacred Texts is an awesome resource, collecting public domain translations of religious and mythological texts. On that site, I started reading a collection of Hindu fantasy stories, Twenty-two Goblins, by Arthur W. Ryder (1917), which is really good so far.
Lots of interesting reading on Eric Sink’s weblog (well, interesting if you’re a programming geek). Just two examples – he’s put up a nice little client-side weblog-management tool he wrote in C# for managing his site (CornSharp), and he’s got a nice piece on his Memoirs From the Browser Wars.

CSS: More Than Ketchup
Dave Winer got flamed and parodied when he complained about CSS in the mildest of terms, blaming CSS designers for smearing ketchup on his tie
. But when JWZ complains in a more blunt fashion that Web designers, and especially blogging web designers, are self-important fuckheads
, all he gets is help and good advice.
Why? Perhaps because of the blogging/LiveJournal divide, perhaps because people are just much happier to dump on Dave.
