That birdbrains video was unexpectedly charming! Do you know, there was a wild songbird in Germany that sounded like R2D2.

Oh My Gods Digger won the Hugo. I know Ursula Vernon, kind of, to say hi at conventions and we have a lot of her art and oh crap I’m squeeing. From Ursula’s blog about winning the award: “It was kind of like going to the school nurse because you just fell down and validated your life’s work.” See http://www.redwombatstudio.com/blog/?p=5222 for the full rundown, including some comments on the ustreamfail.

I’m gonna confess, I’m a little surprised that Boing Boing hasn’t made a bigger deal of Ustreamfail at the Hugos. This feels like the sort of thing that’s right in Cory’s wheelhouse.
