Alot of the traffic that I get here is from folks googling the Codex Seraphinianus, about which I posted a little more than a year ago. The post was to a flickr set that has since gone dark. However, you can download the codex as a cbz via torrent here. You’ll need ComicBookLover or Comical or some goddamn thing to read it.
According to this Wikipedia article, at around 5 pm on Wednesday, April 9, 2008:
“Dragonflies typically eat mosquitoes, little peoples, and other small insects…”
“Little peoples” linking here.

Dig also the Flickr set. From Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories.

I just read Far Seer by Robert Sawyer. Great idea- the story of Galileo set in a society of pre-industrial dinosaurs (he’s got another one about the dinosaur Darwin and a third one about the dinosaur Freud). I say thumbs at 4 and 8 tho. Although the inspiring idea is brilliant and the worldbuilding is too, I was quite disappointed by the execution (especially since Hominids was so well done, at least the first half or so that I read). Read it for the way he constructs their psyches from their instincts, and because hey, dinosaurs. I still have faith in Sawyer to entertain me, but I’ll probably read End of an Era before I read the other books in this series.
[Edit a few hours later: My dissatisfactions are more or less in line with those expressed at Prehistoric Pulp, where hope is offered for the rest of the series being better.]
