taraljc has a post with links about the recent decision to cast the Avatar: the Last Airbender movie with all white actors, when the characters are clearly supposed to be Asian. The direct link to the write-in campaign is here.

I wasn't looking forward to the movie that much, since I think it's going to be re-doing the series rather than just adding on to it, but this is pretty crappy.

Our cold weather has been off and on this year, which is normal, but the off and on seems to be offing and oning a lot faster than usual. For example, it was near freezing yesterday and it may be back to 70 by tomorrow.

For people like me, who only discovered this accidentally last night, NickW is running new episodes of Avatar: the Last Airbender every night this week, leading up to a longer climactic episode this Saturday.
