Scott Westerfeld books

One of my favorite trilogies is Uglies-Pretties-Specials by Scott Westerfeld. (Actually, there'll soon be a fourth book, Extras - cannot wait! This is another on my list of galleys to look for at ALA.) The covers of the US editions are pretty good, but nowhere near as awesome as these German versions.

Knutterly hilarious

This is a strange but interesting site called atelier v. (or perhaps umdenken?) with alternate uses for everyday objects. This one in particular doesn't make much sense, unless you've really got it in for the child who lives with you. The whole thing is auf Deutsch, so I'm not sure what the creators were thinking. I like it, though.

Perhaps meine Mutter can help out with some translation?
