If any newer Mac OSX users (Leopard/10.5 and newer PPC and Intel) are curious if they may have the "flashback" malware that's claimed to be on 1% of Macs out there, they can download this checker:

My friend Karen Hallion is an artist who does awesome fannish work (like this Amy Pond Art Nouveau print) and frequently has designs for sale on TeeFury and the like. Today's TeeFury is her design: an Art Nouveau take on The Princess Bride. It's beautiful, and it's only $10! Go buy it!
You can also check out her Etsy site or follow her on Facebook and find out when she's got other shirts & artwork for sale.

Diamond Pet Foods has issued a recall for a number of dry dog foods manufactured at its facilities due to a salmonella threat [link] That's the link to the announcement on their website. The list of brands under recall is by no means complete - Wellness and Natural Balance have both announced through their email newsletter lists that they are recalling some of their dry dog foods manufactured at Diamond facilities. I recommend checking out the website for instructions on how to identify what foods are included.
