Links for Tuesday April 22^nd, 2008

• 4 color rebellion » YEEEE-HAW! Cowboy Jed Hawks Mario Kart Wii: Official ads for the new MarioKart Wii. It sure does look like fun. ;)

• Rebel Alliance | Fast Company: Great article about "transmedia" - TV shows that are extended in other media. Includes a nice diversion into the realm of Joss Whedon.

• Japan's hunger becomes a dire warning for other nations | theage.com.au: More trouble for Japan - it is amazing how complex the relationship is between food, population growth, this ethanol farce, and globalization. I really hope that the Japanese government is able to find a sensible solution to this problem.
