Cool piece in The Washington Post about "Personal Effects: Dark Art," my innovative novel-meets-Alternate Reality Game.

"Twilight" noobs, behold your salvation: MINE blog writer J.C. Hutchins links you to a LAT story that gives you a Twilight primer, so you'll be well-prepped for the big movie release later this year.

As controversy swirls around Miley Cyrus and her hacked cellphone, the MINE pop culture blog takes the high road and blogs about something far more fun. She and pal Mandy Jiroux goof off on-camera, playing a "maze prank" game. The results are ear-piercingly hilarious.

Sneakers inspired by the 1980s classic "The Goonies"? WIN. A resurgence of "Goonies 2" rumors? Also WIN.

Deskbound paper- (and pixel-) pushers, rejoice! According to the NYT, people might be able to pop a pill to stimulate muscle growth, which will burn fat cells. Fat mice are becoming svelte micro-marathon runners, thanks to the drugs. Are humans next?

A collection of ultra-cool photos of a nasty "supercell" storm hovering over Nebraska. These ain't morbid tornado destruction pics, but amazing shots of a wily storm that the likes of which the veteran stormcaser "had never seen before." Wicked cool.

A seemingly innocent classroom pic ... but somewhere in the frame lurks the wicked grin of the next Cobra Commander, or Lex Luthor. Kids these days. Next thing you know, they'll be building ray guns in their treehouses, and starting their own Sing-Along Blogs ...

Behold, a brilliantly-crafted salute to perhaps the coolest eating utensils around: lightsaber chop sticks.

Novelist and columnist J.C. Hutchins gives you the skinny on the new direct-to-video sequel "Lost Boys: The Tribe." There's good and bad in this flick; curious hardcore fans might be pleased with Corey Feldman's return as Edgar Frog.

Insanely strange -- yet alluringly cool -- Japanese jar-shaped device that's designed to hush your raging screams. Seriously: you scream into the vase (to blow off steam), and the resulting sound is a mere whisper. It's an anti-trumpet!
