Happy Zombie Novel

BoingBoing has a mini review of a 1943 book titled “I am Thinking of My Darling”.
Originally published in 1943, the book is about a happiness virus that spreads across New York City like a plague. The disease makes the afflicted lose their inhibitions, act like they perpetually have 2-3 drinks under their belt (without slurring or clumsiness, they’re sharper in fact), and extremely resistant to doing anything they don’t want to do.
Sounds good to me. I’ll have to see about getting a hold of a copy. Read the full review at BoingBoing.
BoingBoing has news of an artist who has come up with a great plan. Great for us… and possibly the death of the artist. Mouse has decided to create a steampunk wallpaper everyday for a year! Of course Mouse would appreciate it if you could help this project along by submitting ideas for new wallpapers. You can read a little more, and find a link to Mouse’s site (and the pretty wallpapers) at
