Chain reaction.
I was Flickr-surfing this afternoon and came across a picture of a nice man at Walt Disney World (his Disney Flick pages here). Then I discovered he was the famous Disney intellectualist Cory Doctorow, modern sci-fi author and the writer of 'Down And Out In The Magic Kingdom'. Then I discovered that he is also the co-author of brilliant blog Boing Boing. Is there no end to his talents? Fans of the 'darker' side of Disney are few and far between but we do exist and it is great to see that Cory is exploiting his 'fascination' and entertaining us along the way.

From his bio:
There are certain recurring themes in my work; garbage and Disney appear in almost everything I write. I'm obsessed with both....The Disney organization fascinates me: internally, the theme-parks operate like socialist utopias, while externally, Disney is known as a rights-grabbing litigious bully.
