It’s late. You’re up. It’s finals week so instead of the news let’s just do various things to entertain you.

Dinosaur comics: If you don’t read this series already, you are missing out. Here’s the latest installment.

RIP, Maurice Sendak
Where the Wild Things Are is one of the first stories I remember having read to me at bedtime as a child. It was amazing. Yesterday, its author, Maurice Sendak, died at 83. Here is some “man on the street” reaction, courtesy of The Onion.
