Just announced this week, it’s the Freedom Tower, the replacement for the WTC. There’s a link on this page to the slideshow of the design. You’ve got to register with the New York Times, but you don’t have to commit to any mail or spam.

I’m especially thrilled that they’re aiming to be the world’s tallest building. That’s the American spirit!

To get you in the holiday spirit, it’s Twisted Christmas radio!

This will appeal to a particular kind of Gunter. Have you seen and enjoyed Kevin Smith’s movies (Clerks, Mallrats, Dogma)? Do you like Marvel superheroes? Have you seen the animated CLERKS series that ABC sat on?

Then HEROES may be for you. It’s only a couple minutes long, but it’s pretty #2%&ing funny.

Where is that Dave Barry Blog
, anyway? Featuring real items from alert readers.

And why isn’t he a Gunter god? He even plays guitar with Stephen King
, Warren Zevon
, and some guy named Bruce
.

The title
speaks for itself… It’s the picture of everything, all right.

Having watched THE MATRIX RELOADED 3 times this week, I’ve obviously had it on my mind. Imagine my pleasant surprise to find Matrix comics on the official movie website.

And not just any comics: Comics by Neil Gaiman (SANDMAN), Paul Chadwick (CONCRETE), Bill Sienkiewicz (STRAY TOASTERS), and Dave Gibbons (WATCHMEN).

BTW, I couldn’t find a link to take you directly to the comics. Enter the Matrix, then click on the upper left box of the “mainframe” icon.

Check out a nice little desktop clock radio featuring 3 stations of They Might Be Giants radio: B-sides, live, and new songs (plus the mysterious FDR feature). Download the Flash player at TMBG.com

And don’t forget their Dial-A-Song on the web: Still free when you call from work!

Start with Scott McCloud, the creator of the comic ZOT!. Give him a 1-hour improv cartooning session every morning. Add in “Talk like a pirate day.”

You end up with Scott McCloud’s Morning Improv, “But No One Ever Noticed the Walrus”
