Negative Space: review
- Battle: Los Angeles
-
Whoah. Great movie. This is a traditional war film with no fluff, based on a simple premise: military invasion from outer space.
- Boss
- From 1955 to 1976, Richard J. Daley was the mayor of Chicago and the undisputed boss of Chicago politics. In 1971, reporter Mike Royko published a book about Daley’s rise to power and his firm grip on it. Boss is a fascinating story of the Chicago machine that still in some form exists today.
- The Dresden Files
-
A fun TV show about a wizard named Harry who carries a sports stick with him at all times?
- Fit to Print: A.M. Rosenthal and His Times

- Losing America
- If someone were to tell you they were reading a book subtitled “Confronting a reckless and arrogant presidency” you’d probably think it was written by a right-winger, rather than a short-sighted beltway insider who can’t see out of the beltway box to save his own reputation.

The new Nisus is pure awesome: very easy to use, and it does everything I need.
- The Prince
- Machiavelli’s “The Prince” is an odd bit of ephemera from the sixteenth century. It purports to teach a newly-made prince how to maintain his principality.
- Villains and Vigilantes at Monkey House Games
-
The best superhero game of the old-school, and possibly still, V&V is an easy game to read and play.

-

- Yakyudori Ramen and Yakitori—A first look at the ramen
-
“As far as I’m concerned, this was miles above anything Chopstix, Gunco, or Teri Cafe could produce, and I'm glad there's another option for ramen. When I need to be fortified, it’ll be Santouka. On those days when I want comfort, there’s now Yakyudori.”
