I realise that I have still not sorted out and made available the Great Bunny Destruction Video, which is because I'm useless. However, The Amazing Stv has pics here and here. Furthermore, as a consolation prize, here are some wonderful Rube Goldberg contraptions, off a Japanese TV show, on YouTube. They make for incredibly zen watching - curiously soothing, although tragically missing actual blocks of ice or blowtorches, and therefore inferior. Also, the chirpy little theme tune might drive you crazy.

The latest issue of Subterranean magazine features a marvellous Charles Stross short story about global warming and the Devil. I recommend Elizabeth Bear's chilling little water-horse, which is chilling for exactly the wrong reasons. I also like her column in defense of fan fiction, specifically its narrative pleasures.

Must go and forcibly separate Golux from a squirrel: they're facing off on the back wall, mutually twitching their tails.
