Things We Saw Today: The First Official Photo From Iron Man 3 is a Bunch of Tech Porn

I wanted to say “suit porn,” but I thought that might be interpreted badly. So, that’s the suit he made in a cave with a box of scraps, the unpainted prototype, the painted prototype, Iron Man 2‘s main suit, the briefcase suit, the suit he wears at the beginning of the Avengers, and the one he wears at the end. I think.

• It’s National Cheese Day! (The Frisky)
• Many of you are probably waiting for us to say something about the Hitman: Absolution trailer, and it’s pretty bad as things go but honestly, it really doesn’t seem that shocking or exceptional in the face of the rest of the video games industry to me, so you should go read what Alyssa Rosenberg has to say about it. (ThinkProgress)

JoPincushion cosplays my second favorite Lydia Deetz costume, the first one being that awesome spider-webbed poncho from the cartoon. Retailers, I’m talking to you.

• The NYT had some trouble talking about women in the tech world and sexual harrassment, and Xeni Jardin takes them to task. (Boing Boing)

This ring is a Horntailed dragon from Harry Potter. Your argument is invalid. (Fashionably Geek)

• So the misleadingly named One Million Moms left Facebook after their page was inundated with people telling them that a gay Green Lantern in a parallel universe was totally fine, and a pro-Gay Rights organization has taken over their url and page name, and are committed to associating the idea of one million mothers with supporting the rights of people of “all orientations, creeds, genders, and colors.”

Paper Passion smells like a new book, and io9 recommends spraying it on your eReader. But what about the smell of an old book?

• AMC announces, of course, a Nolan-Batman movie marathon culminating in The Dark Knight Rises. Guys, I’m emotionally exhausted after watching just The Dark Knight. I’ll just take the one movie, thanks. (Collider)

You mean a visual dictionary compiled by the first Google image result for each word in Webster’s without safe search is a about half “revolting medical photos, porn, racism or bad cartoons?” I am shocked, shocked, I tell you.
