Link roundup

1. Matt Kindt's next comic "Super Natural" will feature "the paranormal, and stars the ghosts of Houdini, Amelia Earhart and even a character from Super Spy, among others."

2. Augmented reality candy:

At SFC Open Research Forum 2010, Keio University's Yasuaki Kakehi Laboratory exhibited TagCandy, where the sensations produced by candy are varied using augmented reality. By sucking an ordinary candy inserted into the device, users can experience fizzy soda or crisp apple sensations, or even things such as the sensation of fireworks, that can't be achieved in reality.

3. I'm not really into Suckadelic's Land of the Lost figures, but Sucklord's comments about the project are pretty funny:

The Movie is gonna suck, and Will Ferrell is a total douche for making it into some stupid asshole comedy. For real. The show, as cheezy and flawed as it was, had some pretty serious Sci-fi themes going on. There was a real charm to the low budget effects and the hoakey over acting. There is for sure a lot of opportunity for comedy there. I'm not mad that it's a comedy. It just looks like a very lowbrow, typical Will Ferrell show that shows no respect for the integrity of the source material or it's fans. I hope I'm wrong, but that awful clip they showed on Conan the other night was not encouraging at all. Stupid potty humor. That's why these figures are coming out now. To act as a salve to the heartbroken fans that are being screwed by Mr. Ferrell and his bullshit, self-serving stinkeroo. Enjoy!
