		<description><![CDATA[A few months ago, I found (via TT) a wonderful series of short videos, &#8220;Mr. Deity&#8220;. There are eight episodes so far, and most of them are brilliant&#8230; especially episodes 5 and 7, featuring Lucifer. Something else wonderful: a Terry Bisson science fiction (very) short story, &#8220;They&#8217;re Made Out of Meat&#8220;, and an award-winning film [...]

<p>A few months ago, I found (via <a href="http://telicthoughts.com/">TT</a>) a wonderful series of short videos, &#8220;<a href="http://www.mrdeity.com/">Mr. Deity</a>&#8220;.  There are eight episodes so far, and most of them are brilliant&#8230; especially episodes <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKM_JlCIMak">5</a> and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8i4le0BIFc">7</a>, featuring Lucifer.</p>
<p>Something else wonderful: a Terry Bisson science fiction (very) short story, &#8220;<a href="http://www.terrybisson.com/meat.html">They&#8217;re Made Out of Meat</a>&#8220;, and an award-winning <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gaFZTAOb7IE">film treatment</a> of it.</p>
<p>Catherine Pandora has a great post in her petri dish on bestiaries, past and present: &#8220;<a href="http://scipop.typepad.com/petri_dish/2007/02/aberdeen_bestia.html">the beasts and the birds will teach thee</a>&#8220;.</p>
<p>The last two movies I&#8217;ve seen, both quite enjoyable though seriously flawed: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Illusionist">The Illusionist</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Prestige_%28film%29">The Prestige</a>.  Hooray for David Bowie as Nikola Tesla.</p>
<p>One great image, among <a href="http://www.woot.com/Forums/ViewPost.aspx?PostID=721339">several very good ones</a> from the <a href="http://www.woot.com/Forums/ViewPost.aspx?PostID=717566&amp;PageIndex=1&amp;ReplyCount=418">Woot! &#8220;wide-screen version&#8221; contest</a>, has given me repeated joy every time I think of it:<br />
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-237" title="This is a pipe" src="http://ragesoss.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/03/This-is-a-pipe.jpg" alt="This is a pipe" width="450" height="253" />And finally, I won an eBay auction on a trio of 1929 <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photogravure">photogravures</a> by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_Blossfeldt">Karl Blossfeldt</a>:<br />
