Welcome to another round of FBB linkblogging, brought to you by your friendly Jamaal. All opinions expressed below are those of the author, and do not reflect the official position of the FBB mob. (1) True Stories of the Core Marvel Universe , in which Chris Sims points out that the Marvel Universe is wacky! I really like most of Sims’ work, but I don’t see the big deal here. I like ...

First off, here's a very clear breakdown of the new Facebook security options that actually compares and contrasts the new to the old (wonder of wonders! Astounding!). It also offers a lot of perspective and scenarios for why this or that security setting might be better.

The History of the Internet in a Nutshell: pretty good, though it says Unix “influenced” Linux and FreeBSD.  Influenced is right for Linux, but there’s parts of the ...

Some weekend linkblogging… Comics and…Other Imaginary Tales looks back at DC Two Thousand, a two-part story from the turn of the millennium in which the modern Justice League of America goes back in time to 1941 and meets the Justice Society. The Golden Age heroes aren’t entirely sure the JLA’s future is worth saving, though. Collected

First, some linkblogging… Today’s flashback post: T-Shirt Irony. # The Spam Primer has been “completely revamped.” # Mars Express Orbiter catches video of moons Phobos and Deimos. # And then the “fun” started.
