Ooh, you know what opens tomorrow at the Morgan Library? The exhibition of Jane Austen's letters! See you there, yo.

Kickstarter has launched; it is a new micro-funding scheme for artists and makers of things in which anyone may "pledge" money towards a concept-you only pay your pledge if the proposer meets his or her fundraising goal. I am maybe going to go give a dollar to this guy who wants to write a novel about "an amnesiac ninja trying to save the world from a demon invasion." I would read the hell out of that.
