Pride & Prejudice.... and ZOMBIES.

NPR recently reported on a new literary adaptation by Seth Grahame-Smith. As my s.o. was working in the apartment yesterday she had the BBC tele-series version of Pride & Prejudice playing in the background so I found this particularly interesting this morning.

The new adaptation sees the undead, or as they're called in the book "unmentionables", invading the grounds at Longbourn. It seems no place and no time is immune from the inevitable zombie apocalypse. Read/hear the story here.

SHHH! Cards

If there's one thing I'm continually on about, it's the decline of refined manners in American society. One specific aspect of this decline is inappropriate cell phone usage. I spotted these today while reading about Coudal Partners' "The Deck".



"SHHH!" is the "Society for HandHeld Hushing". Sure most American's don't call them "handhelds" but you get the idea. It's for those people just a little too unaware of the noisy cellular disturbance they're causing; a problem so far out of control at this point there may be no stopping it. Unless...



...Those brave enough arm themselves with these and seek to alert society's offenders. For the bold and willing, these cards might be the perfect social "citation". Print out your own using this handy PDF.
