Oh, and on March 22 & 23 in SAN FRANCISCO, Lynda is teaching a class called Writing the Unthinkable. (Can't make it to SF? An illustrated book all about this very class comes out in May.)
What is Network Neutrality?
What is Net Neutrality (and does learning about it put you to sleep)? This is a photo of seat-fillers at an FCC hearing. They were paid by Comcast so that the public couldn't get in.
If we don't want to live in a bubble like Truman Burbank or my kids (or the Alabama viewers of 60 Minutes?) I guess we should do something about this.

From The New Yorker to Shrek: The Art of William Steig, there will be a panel discussion titled Shrek: From Book to Film to Broadway on March 3rd at 7 PM.
