R.I.P. TVT
via Stereogum by Stereogum on February 18, 2008
Yeah, the industry keeps on shifting. TVT, the New York-based independent label that brought us Nine Inch Nails back in the day, has reportedly "terminated" most of its employees and is filing for Chapter 11.

A lot of PC hardware these days - graphics cards in particular - is impressive technology. Know what's not impressive? Their box art. Poorly-rendered boobs, fairies and monster trucks do not a respectable product image maketh. Anyway, Kotaku special guest and Boing-Boing Gadget's own Joel Johnson has done us all a great service and collected a gallery of the worst. And by worst, I mean...

Fidel Castro, Commander in Chief of Cuba, resigns
via Boing Boing by Xeni Jardin on February 18, 2008
Here's his resignation statement in Spanish, here's a copy in English. But wait, is a livejournal on the way?My only wish is to fight as a soldier in the battle of ideas. I shall continue to write under the heading of ‘Reflections by comrade Fidel.’ It will be just another weapon you can count on. Perhaps my voice will be heard. I shall be careful.
