snurriAside from the news in my previous post, that is.
Top of the list has to be something which is related to something that is not awesome. By now you have probably heard that Terry Pratchett was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. As a result, he's donated $1 million to Alzheimer's research, and Pat Cadigan (aka![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
fastfwd) has started a project called Match It For Pratchett, for Terry's fans to equal his donations. Details are at the site. There's probably not a disease that scares me more than Alzheimer's, personally; this is pretty much the definition of a good cause.
Other awesome things:
A gorgeous little Flash game at the BBC site, called Questionaut, which is suitable for all ages. Click around in your airship, and answer elementary science questions for more fuel. Kind of like that smarter-than-a-whatever-grader show, except awesome. (The game is made by the same people who did Samorost, which is also awesome, perhaps even moreso.)
Awesome (unless you are easily offended by religious humor): Bible Fight, brought to you by the folks at Adult Swim. It's basically Streetfighter, only you can choose to play Jesus, Mary, Eve, Noah, Moses, or Satan. Less awesome: I canNOT get past Satan. Damn him.
