It's a payday weekend here in the Philippines and three huge shopping malls (and therefore the bookshops inside) are on sale.

• It's Jeffrey Ford interview mania! Three Questions at How to Write Stories About Writers and Omnivoracious covers the Well-Built City trilogy (The Physiognomy, Memoranda, The Beyond).
• John Klima has an article at Tor on the Espresso. Check out that baby (and the video). Now if only I had $100,000.00 (alas, human labor in the Philippines will always be cheaper).
  
• John C. Wright on How to Survive an Alien Attack.
• One of my favorite game designers is John Wick (Legend of the Five Rings, 7th Sea, Houses of the Blooded). Check out his Greatest Movies Ever Made.

To quote Jon Stewart: And now, your moment of zen.
