Bunk Magazine, a Hypermedia Humor E-Zine, Launches

Bob is also paranoid about security, complaining that his tactical high energy lasers and other high-tech security measures can’t protect him from magic, the literary assault or emotional vulnerabilities.

By way of if:book:

This Spartan Life, our favorite talk show in Halo space, just posted a hilarious video blog entry making the case for network neutrality. In some ways, this is the perfect medium for illustrating a threat to virtual spaces, conveying more in a couple of minutes than several weeks worth of op-eds. Enjoy it now before the party’s over.
