One of the DAs has realised that I type much faster than he does and has been giving me screeds of hand-written notes to type up. It's nice to have something useful to do (I haven't forgotten your editing Beau! I'll do more today), plus he buys me Cokes. :)

Here are some things I think worth linking to and why.

New Zealand swim-wear label Ginger Lover. I was first pointed to these beautiful vintage styled swimsuits by the now defunct Special Knives blog. I keep going back though, to look at them and drool. Their sheer pretty almost convinces me that buying togs online is not a bad idea. They have ruffle-backed bikini bottoms!!!

Dr Horrible's Tea of Evil is a black tea blend. The company Adagio Teas also has a range of "Serenitea" inspired teas! The Kaylee looks especially num. I don't know if you can get in NZ though :(

The Tor website is giving away free books in various digital formats. I think for this week only though. I may have downloaded many for later perusal. Mmm, bookses. The same page also has links to downloadable cover art.

And now a special something for those who love things both crafty and geeky, Geek Central Station is an etsy seller who makes geeky, geeky amigurumi, aka incredibly cute crocheted toys. She specialises in LotR and Starwars ones, but has done many others. Check out her flickr for even more photos of the awesome.

What, you thought you might get actual content... from *me*?

I figured people might think of the other one, hence me putting PotC at the front. ;)

On a side note, you inspired me to start reading MegaTokyo. Fun!

I totally disrupted the office for about half an hour with those. :o)

Indy was much admired.

Thank goodness we're fairly relaxed about these things, or I might get myself in trouble. :o)

Tor is giving away a different free book every week. Along with a pair of wallpapers from their book covers. I have all of them they have given away so far, and can make them available for your perusal if you're interested.

Baen Books has many available all the time, and people distribute CD's of then all the time.

I remember you telling me that beforehand and I saved that into my memories :)

The current website talks about how they were giving a different one away each week, but now they have put all the ones they were giving away up at once (along with the wallpapers) and they shall be removing them on Sunday.
