Loving the Tor gallery as a place for iPhone backgrounds...and to see some great art. - Andrea

Dude, I know some library displays are less than stellar, but I've never seen one that could cause a need for $120,000 in compensation for damages upon viewing. (Also...they want to burn books...at least they are acting as crazy as they are.) - Andrea

Inspired by the daring adventures of women characters and compelled by the brilliant works of women authors, Sirens is a conference dedicated to women in fantasy literature. The conference, both scholarly examination and professional retreat, welcomes academics, authors, professionals, and readers to attend—and provide varying perspectives on fantasy books by women, female characters in fantasy works, the market for fantasy by and about women, and how to support women in fantasy literature. Sirens will be held October 1–4, 2009, at the Vail Cascade Resort and Spa in Vail, Colorado. Yellow aspens and warm fires will welcome you to the Rocky Mountains, and your free time during the conference can be spent relaxing in the resort's acclaimed spa, traveling the wilderness, or shopping in Vail Village's many boutiques. - Andrea

WANT - What do you get when you cross a bicycle with an electric scooter? Probably something like Ultra Motor’s “Light Electric Vehicle,” the A2B. Silent and stylish, the A2B is designed for urban and suburban commuters (check out that comfy, oversized seat). It’s like your bicycle, except with a lithium ion battery-powered motor that you can plug in and charge at any ordinary electric socket. And if you run out of power on the road, no worries — just start pedaling. - Andrea
