Domo stars in a Star Wars commercial (link roundup)

Domo stars in a commercial for the Clone Wars cartoon in Japan. (And by "cartoon," I mean weekly animated toy commercial.)

And a few more links:

1. Scott Turow on the importance of persistence in becoming a writer:

"Presumed Innocent was written over a six to seven year period with intervals in between where I was figuring out the end of the book and writing other stuff ... My life as a writer was carried on against the odds. I had written four unpublished novels by then.

Via.

2. Relatedly, Malcolm Gladwell says:

I see storytelling like a puzzle: you arrange details for people until you get them in just the right order.

3. And speaking of authors, Neil Gaman's stance on public speaking is pretty funny:

Q. How can I get Neil Gaiman to make an appearance at my school/convention/event?
A. Contact Lisa Bransdorf at the Greater Talent Network. Tell her you want Neil to appear somewhere. Have her tell you how much it costs. Have her say it again in case you misheard it the first time. Tell her you could get Bill Clinton for that money. Have her tell you that you couldn't even get ten minutes of Bill Clinton for that money but it's true, he's not cheap.

On the other hand, I'm really busy, and I ought to be writing, so pricing appearances somewhere between ridiculously high and obscenely high helps to discourage most of the people who want me to come and talk to them. Which I could make a full time profession, if I didn't say 'no' a lot.

His appearance fee was the scandal of the day earlier this week.

This alien hunter takes no prisoners (link roundup)

"No phone home" by Serge Birault, who has several prints on sale here.

And a few more links:

1. Domo energy drink.

2. In Peru, as of 2005, "pirates were employing more people than formal publishers and booksellers, and their combined economic impact was estimated to be 52 million US dollars – or roughly equivalent to one hundred per cent of the legal industry’s total earnings."

3. Giant koosh ball/ottoman.

Domo at 7-Eleven (link roundup)

Go here for a gallery of photos of Domo-themed packaging and goods at 7-Eleven. There's also a minisite. Via.

And a few more links:

1. "The Swimming Cities of Serenissima is a fleet of handmade boats and a crew of artists traveling the Adriatic Sea from Slovenia to Venice this May and June, 2009. Here's the dedicated site." Via.

2. You know the phrase "heard it through the grapevine?" Well, this is the grapevine. Via.

3. Microsoft's ads all seem to go viral for the wrong reasons, but if you do want to throw a Windows 7 party, you might be able to get some swag like this. Via.
