Uh, Monday Linkfest?

I got home really late yesterday and was too pooped from Fan Expo to deliver the Sunday Linkfest.

Good news: I have Yoshitaka Amano's autograph, and did a photo-op with William Shatner. I also spoke about my proposed thesis to a bunch of strangers which was strangely satisfying.

So, in no particular order:

The Most Amazing Bookshelf In The World

This link needs an excerpt:

Welcome to Berkeley, probably still the best public university in the world. Meet your classmates, the best group of partners you can find anywhere. The percentages for grades on exams, papers, etc. in my courses always add up to 110% because that’s what I’ve learned to expect from you, over twenty years in the best job in the world.

That’s the good news. The bad news is that you have been the victims of a terrible swindle, denied an inheritance you deserve by contract and by your merits. And you aren’t the only ones; victims of this ripoff include the students who were on your left and on your right in high school but didn’t get into Cal, a whole generation stiffed by mine. This letter is an apology, and more usefully, perhaps a signal to start demanding what’s been taken from you so you can pass it on with interest.
