If you read the blog of comic book writer Warren Ellis (and if you don't you should, as long as you like good writing with a bit of randomly Gothic underground tinge to it), every couple days he posts links to cool things he's found. Sometimes these 'cool things' are stories or works of art by his friends, but mostly they're stories from scientific magazines detailing the latest breakthroughs on the transhuman fringes of science. This makes sense, given that so much of his work, especially the so-awesome-you-should-definitely-read-it-if-you-haven't-yet cyperbunk comic Transmetropolitan.
The point of all this is, I'm shamelessly aping Warren Ellis' idea, and every couple days (or hell, whenever I feel like it) I'll post links to things that have caught my eye. Here's round one.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/10158517.stm (that's the kind of thing Ellis would post a link to)
http://www.thedailybeast.com/blogs-and-stories/2010-05-21/the-11-greatest-literary-feuds/ (where this post gets its name)

That's all for now. Hope your Memorial Day was good (unlikely considering we're currently in Final Season).
