TOOLS
Publishers Weekly has a story on an upgrade to the Sony e-book reader.  Still expensive ($399) but better touch screen, a readling light and more storage capacty (also will play music!?).  

CIVIC LESSONS
An interview with Tom Tomorrow who has a book collection out, called The Future's So Bright, I Can't Bear to Look.

An interview with Ted Rall who will be at SPX in Bethesda MD this weekend.

Kerry Edwards brings the pain.

NOT WEBCOMICS
Penny Arcade's Episode Two of its videogame Adventures on the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness is almost set for release.

An opera based on Dinosaur Comics -- not the first such cross-medium adaptation (Too Much Coffee Man probably claims that footnote in history) but still pretty unusual.  It's tonight if you're interested in attending!

New MC Frontalot album: Final Boss.
