The universe brings me a gift. I share it.

At first, I thought to keep this secret to myself, a treasure trove to mine for ideas and scenes, dialogue and snippets. That is, after all, one of the things that writers do. We hope that what we find is fresh and interesting (I winced this morning when I read Iain Banks in The Algebraist quote the whole "interesting times" quote).

But I can't. The webcomic A Miracle of Science is too good, Benjamin is too cool, Caprice is too wonderful to not share. Read each page carefully: there are little jokes scattered about this graphic novel that are absolutely hilarious. The themes and ideas of Caprice's post-humanism are so well handled I'm in awe.

I could (and should) also advocate for Jett's Frakkin' Toasters, but it has a built-in base of Battlestar Galactica fans. I think Frakkin' Toasters is funny and sometimes hilarious ("Awwwwww!!!!"), but it has over 500 external sites linking to it.

Miracle of Science has less than 40. It deserves more. A lot more. Give it your attention. Hate me when you realize it's not finished and it's currently waiting on a cliff hanger. Send them encouraging noises. Experience SRMD for yourself.

[Edit: Oh dear, I hope I didn't create my own slashdot effect on their poor server. In any event, seem to be back up as of 1:30 PM PST.]

Oh no! Me? Responsible for a slashdotting? I hope they get back up and running soon. I might even throw a couple of bucks their way if they've got a donation button somewhere...

Nah, they just got over disk quota, and fixed it a couple of hours later, once they noticed.
