Did You Know... Tesla has a book now?

That's right, kids! Step right up and get a copy of the one, the only, the, the amazing TESLA GRAPHIC NOVEL Mind Afire on Kickstarter today by Abigail Samoun and Elizabeth Haidle. You can get the e-book version of this mad scientist's mad story for as low a $5: the biggest steal since Edison!

Incidentally, if you don't know anything about Tesla, I highly recommend reading The Oatmeal's handy illustrated guide to why the true inventor of the light bulb and master of electricity is worth your time.

P.S. If anyone wants high-res versions of the Cthulhu Travelogue series, just message me. I haven't figured out how Tumblr makes those "see high-res" links yet, but I can upload them to imgur if people want them.

Cthulhu Goes to Paris

As the apocalypse draws nigh, I'm featuring a series of travelogue posts with Cthulhu in various major cities around the globe. Think of it as Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego, but darker. Each post will feature a different Cthulhu or related Lovecraftian God in a different major city. Beware!!!

For this post, Cthulhu is terrorizing Paris. Welcome to the CthuLouvre!!!

The Bleating Edge: Spider Goats

Move over Spider Pig: you've got competition. Spider Goats are the latest thing in genetics; as spider silk becomes useful for more and more applications, some mad scientists thought, "What if we took the spider silk gene and PUSHED IT SOMEWHERE ELSE?" That else is goats. The goats look, act, and presumably think (do goats think?) normally, but their milk has an extra protein that when extracted can be refined into spider silk. Welcome to the future.
