- Programming Sucks
If you ever wonder what it is I do all day (and I don't blame you, a lot of the time I wonder the same thing), then I suggest you read this. It is pretty much the most perfect encapsulation of my daily working life I have ever encountered, and, I should point out, has been true everywhere I have worked. Warning: after read this, you may never wish to use the internet again.
- Another Way To Breathe – WicDiv Playlist: Alice
Kieron on The Sisters of Mercy, their place in his life (a very similar one to mine, and a lot of other people, I suspect), and their place in his upcoming work. Well worth a read.

- Crossed
Mr Spurrier has a new free-to-air weekly webcomic for your delight and edification, which I urge you to read. I cannot possible top the official blurb for it, so here it is: “Wish You Were Here is a story about a fixed community on one of the bleak little rocks off the coast of Scotland. It’s about monsters who look like people, and people who act like monsters. It’s about how a changed world changes its inhabitants. It’s about class and violence and dignity and love. It’s about twenty-four doomed souls, each with their own story, trying to find a reason to Stay Alive. It’s about resources and strategy and survival. It’s about faith and art and misery. Oh, and in Episode #3 a cow shits out a grenade and explodes.”

- ASHES: A graphic novel by Alex de Campi & Jimmy Broxton
Been meaning to link to this all week. Old chum Alex de Campi, who you may recall did the rather excellent comic SMOKE some years back, is looking for backing to produce a sequel, with art by the superb Jimmy Broxton. I can confidently predict that this will be absolutely brilliant, and you should fork over your cash at once. (I would have already done so, but Kickstarter hates me, and will not let me pledge. So I encourage you all to do so instead, because I really want to read this.)
