Tale of undersnail's quest is derivative but has its charms [online title - 'Turbo' is derivative but also clever, entertaining].

Today: Weldon on Superman at Politics and Prose
Glen Weldon - Superman: The Unauthorized Biography
As Superman turns 75, what better time to look back over his life? Weldon, NPR blogger, critic, and comics expert, considers not only the Man of Steel's adventures and achievements, but also his place in the culture as the first, and still most popular, superhero.

Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: Pipeline Peace Walk Begins!
Pipeline Peace Walk Begins!
http://sinkers.org/stage/?p=1316
This is the art I created for the cover of the Pipeline Peace Walk Guide, published as an aid to the activists walking the length of the Keystone XL Pipeline, from the Canadian border to Mexico in a pilgrammage to defend the environment from the ravages of oil drilling and pipeline construction. The Walk began this week and will continue through the summer.
From the Pipeline Peace Walk donations page:
"This summer, Love Bomb Seed Bomb, the People's Garden, the Harvest Collective, Permatecture Design, the Compassionate Earth Walk, Occupy the Keystone XL Pipeline and Pipeline Peace Walk will walk the length of the Keystone XL Pipeline, from the Canadian border in Montana, down to the Gulf of Mexico, in a pilgrimage to defend nature from the Oil Machine. We walk for our children, for nature, the plants and animals, and for the next seven generations of humanity...
...We will walk thousands of miles to shift our reality, and to build a better future, by demanding we depart from the old paradigm, and enter into the new. As we walk we will be visiting communities along the pipeline, lending support to their current struggles, and telling their stories.
Along the way we will be in service to communities who are resisting the Keystone XL Pipeline. We will meet up with Moccasins on the Ground in South Dakota, Farmers Unions in Kansas, Bold Nebraska in Nebraska, Great Plains Tar Sands Resistance in Oklahoma, and Tar Sands Blockade in Texas. Throughout the summer we will be traveling to be in service to these causes, and to help create links between the communities along the Keystone XL Pipeline path. At current, we are also coordinating with #Fearless Summer to create collective movement..."
