First off, today is Joss Whedon’s birthday, so I deem that important internet goings on.

In that vein, we have a fantastic display in the art of naming geeky children. (via @whedonesque)

Also, the next installment of A-Z of Awesomeness is for the letter “J.” Guess what “J” is awesome? (via @Agent_M)

And tonight I’m going to the midnight showing of Transformers and while it’d be nice if it was good, I’m okay with it being THIS BAD. Roger Ebert sure can ream em out. (via @bonniegrrl)

I may have a small obsession with Twilight.  I may have had it since the first book came out. I realize it’s horrible and angsty and give vampires a bad name, but that is also why I love it.  Anyway BARBIE DOLLS!

Now this girl is an idiot.  For multiple reasons. She got 56 stars tattooed on her FACE and then lied about how they got there. (via @Agent_M)

The best article on the new photos from the new Alice in Wonderland movie.  It talks about the actors as well as the characters and where they appear in the book. (via Yahoo!)

Apparently, it’s Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Day.  Because Neil Gaiman said so.  Because if Joss is the TV god, Neil Gaiman might be the Science Fiction/Fantasy god. (via @neilhimself)

Ye gads! And this seemed like a slow internet day.  Off to bed!

I’ll mark this now.  I’m going to start doing my own blogging thing where I’ll talk about what I want, but the major thing I expect to do is round up links. A sort of “What you missed on the internet today” giving credit where credit is due.  I find some stuff on my own, but I get a lot from Twitter and the people I follow.  I’ll see how this goes.
