A slow Thanksgiving day, but the Nerd World, the Geekonomy, and everything else we love still goes on:
Economics/Freakonomics/Geekonomics:
- Let's see how the bailout stacks up against other government projects – A good example of economic geekery, as well as quite depressing.
Publishing
- Time Magazine is shifting, consolidating, and otherwise dealing with economic changes – Which we can guess may mean more cuts and soforth depending.
- Borders is NOT for sale – It may still sell Paperchase, but it appears the CEO thinks they can make it through. Good news for writers as I think competition is very good for the market.
Video Games:
- THQ's Destroy All Humans: Path of the Furon canceled for the PS3 – Not sure why, things are tough all over – and THQ has its own issues. It's also the second playstation-related DAH cancellation. There's many possible reasons for this, but no news yet – I'm more paying attention to it for what people may say about it.
