Ever had your credit card stolen?
I got robbed a couple weekends ago and somebody took my card for a run. I wish I could be more like Jeff Barnosky and turn it into a Philip Roth-esque ride through a society built on shaky credit.
Speaking of money problems, Edward Champion just wrote a fierce essay about his ethical position as a reviewer in this new media world where journalistic rules can too easily be broken: "I do not care if I am forced to live on a diet of Top Ramen or if I must pay my rent by sifting through the coins in my piggy bank. I would sooner pump gas or work retail somewhere than allow myself to be corrupted like this. Let it stand for the record that my opinion cannot be purchased."
In 2003, Kevan Davis built a zombie Infection Simulation. The simple game allowed you to control the spread of zombies within a crowded urban area, bring the curse of the undead to an imaginary population of pink dots. It is surprisingly addictive and may help you write a very morbid story. (Thanks, SF Signal)
