Things We Saw Today: Indiana Jones and The Raiders of the Plywood Ark

The magic of movies, everyone! Also, the magic of silhouettes. (Blastr)

• The Frisky recommends some summer reading we wholly approve of.
• Aisha Tyler responds to criticism that she’s not a real gamer and only attended this year’s E3 for “money and fame” like a boss. (Facebook via Daily of the Day)

• Want to see a Static Shock fan film? Visit this Kickstarter.

Natalie Kim is retelling the story of actual person Cheng I Sao (a.k.a. Cheng Shih), a former prostitute who took over her dead pirate husband’s fleet and became one of the most successful pirates of all time, in comic form. (Boing Boing)

It’s already half funded, and there are a lot of goodies in there.

And here’s something to make you go awwww. Awwwww. (Geek-Art)
