Link roundup

1. Microscale Lego X-Wing. Here's the parts list.

2. Tentacle girl cake.

3. Jim Romanesko's new site is active and he wrote a long post about the ugly drama surrounding his leaving his old site (which I've been reading faithfully since I discovered the internet). The bit that stands out:

I was told that traffic to my page had dropped about 30% in 18 months. It was easy to explain why: I was one of the few journalism town criers on the Internet a decade ago; now every news junkie with a Facebook page and Twitter feed is shouting out stories about the news business.

Also, he made a six figure salary on his site.

4. Andy Suriano's new comic book comes with a free sketch.

Link roundup

1. "There have been whispers at times about possible cheating by the Brewers at home because they have been so much better at Miller Park than on the road. They are 40-14 at home, the best winning percentage in the majors, and only 21-35 on the road."

2. Long hatchet article about Martha Stewart. For example:

At the flagship magazine, Martha Stewart Living, one editor after another would come in and try to Real Simplify it, to make it more about hamburgers and chocolate-chip cookies and less about tassel-strewn, Venetian-themed dinners for twenty. A Thanksgiving story shot at Stewart’s stables in Bedford featured a long table and was so complicated that it became almost a comedy of errors. A child’s hair caught fire. Stewart sliced her thumb and was sent to the hospital. At the table, Stewart was flanked by Brooke Astor’s son, ­Anthony Marshall, and his wife, hardly avatars of the simple life. (By the time the story was published, Marshall was on trial for misappropriating his mother’s fortune, and the pictures had to be blurred out.)
