If you look at the top center, you can see the X of the Floyd Bennett Field runways. Yay for identifying Queens from the air. (Taken with Instagram at LaGuardia Airport (LGA))

There are exactly three countries on Earth that do not provide guarantees for paid maternity leave. Papua New Guinea and Swaziland are two of them. Care to guess the third?

Hey guys, did you know my birthday is in November? If you all chip in, I could buy this!

neil-gaiman:

The all-ten-volumes-in-one-slipcase-edition of SANDMAN comes out in November! I’m thrilled. You have no idea how long I’ve been asking DC to do one of these. (Er, about 16 years.)

(Edit to add: lots of questions coming in. I believe it’ll be about $199, so the books are cover price but the slipcase is free. Probably cheaper places that discount books. These are the recoloured editions that use the Absolute edition recolouring of the first few books. And last time DC did something like this they also sold the slipcase separately.)

This is a Spiny Lobster (as opposed to the a true lobster, like the Maine Lobster). You can quickly tell because it lacks the large front claws of a true lobster. These are what we grew up with in Florida; sometimes they were called Bahamian crawfish.

Lovely photo regardless.

“Here’s the problem with Zynga. It would be a great business for a group of about 5-10 people. The business model that Zynga has pursued does not lend itself to a publicly-traded, multibillion dollar company. They produce social games. That is not a defensible product. Buying up games as they become hot is not a sustainable strategy. It takes nothing to produce a hot game. You merely need somebody with a computer, a good idea, and the ability to make a game. Making a game is not rocket science. Making matters worse for Zynga is that it does not and never will control the distribution channels.”
