Link roundup

1. Since my dumbphone works great and is cheap, I've been waiting for an iTouch with a solid camera. Optional 3G would be the cherry on top.

2. Seriously, it's one report after another of Google deleting accounts without warning, and then restoring them for celebrities. Some class action attorney should look into it. And you'd have to be nuts to buy a Chrome OS netbook.

3. Sculpture of a pigeon pooping on a Nazi. (But I was actually looking for video of this from the opening.)

4. Has there been any evidence that the News of the World phone hackers used their misdeeds to expose actual news? Or was it just to go after tabloidy gossip?

Link roundup

1. I've mentioned this once or twice, but there's a charity raffle for some really incredibly painted Warhammer 40K miniatures. You have one more week to enter the raffle.

2. "Last night, the Culver City Cultural Affairs Commission unanimously approved the art work concept for Tony Tasset's Rainbow, which will soon tower over Sony's Culver City lot." You can see what it'll look like at the link.

3. Large, new, and probably NSFW illustration by McBess.

4. If you buy all #1 issues of DC's upcoming relaunched comics, they'll be 50% off at TFAW.

Ghost girl and bird

"My Drifting Heart" by Brent Nolasco, J*Ryu, and Dodgrr, to be sold at Dragatomi's booth at SDCC. (I prefer the unpainted version.)

It reminds me of the main characters from the Bioshock Infinite trailer.

Link roundup

1. Spider-Man redesign contest announced at Project Rooftop.

2. The Princess Diana fanfic cover got all the attention for the most recent issue of Newsweek, but there's another inspid feature inside about how some mob wives end up poor:

"This is not some glamorous fantasy," says Schiro, known as Big Linda, while her daughter is called Little Linda. She spends most of her days at the kitchen counter of the rented, sparsely furnished Staten Island condo that she shares with Linda and three of Linda’s four children. Instead of gazing at a banquet-length dining table laden with stolen diamonds and gold, as she did many nights during her 30 years with Scarpa, Schiro clears a place amid the box of Cheez-Its and sleeves of Oreos to rest her elbows and put her graying head in her hands. A pair of Yorkshire terriers yap nonstop at her feet. "This is hell, my life."

3. 27 foot tall cardboard box sculpture of a man that was installed in Cordoba, Argentina in 2006.
