Amazon just released a version of Kindle for the iPhone. So now I can read all those eBooks that are only available in Kindle format without shelling out the extra money for a 3rd device (who really needs a Pocket PC, iPhone, and a dedicated eBook reader like the Kindle even if they do read as many eBooks as I have recently?). Everyone is reporting on this - see sources at: Techdirt, VentureBeat, ZDNet, PC World, NY Times, CNet Crave, CNet Fully Equiped, and SFGate.
Spectrum 16 awards have been announced for art.
Blood Ties is finally coming to dvd this June.
Random House is launching a free eBook library with 5 pdf books by Naomi Novik, Robin Hobb, Harry Turtledove, Kim Stanley Robinson, and T.A. Pratt. (Now that I have Red Mars as a hardcover, an audiobook, and an ebook, will I finally get around to moving it off the To Be Read pile and actually reading it?) Per Tor.com's article, they will make the books available on their suvudu.com site, through Stanza (for the iPhone), and other content portals.
Brian Fuller has expressed an interest in making a new Star Trek TV series in the campy 60s style.
Another device is being developed to play internet-sourced TV on the TV. I wonder if they will have the same rights problems that Hulu has had.

Joseph Fiennes and John Cho are in negotiations to join the cast of Fast Forward.
SF Signal lists a huge batch of free SF short stories that are now available online (including stories by Jack McDevitt and Nina Kiriki Hoffman).
Neil Gaiman lists his favorite 3 books for Barnes & Noble. How is it that I've only read one of these?
The Well Medicated blog has 45 vintage illustrations from Popular Science, Popular Mechanics, or similar showing how people imagined the space age would look.
SF Signal links to discussions on what your bookshelves say about you. However, in the 2 schools of thought they mention, they don't seem to consider the combination. My bookshelf is very much a combination of books I've read and liked and books I intend to read at some point (and I do periodically chip away at those).
The BBC is planning yet another version of The Day of the Triffids. Haven't they told this story enough?
MTV Movies blog has an interview with JMS about his World War Z movie adaptation.
Crystals found in Australian rocks have made scientists completely rethink the way the Earth would have looked 4.2 million years ago.
This week the New York Times had an article filled with chestnut recipes. I like chestnuts, but tend to serve them the same couple ways all the time. I might try some of these.
SciFi Wire has an article about the 3rd Librarian movie, playing this Sunday on TNT.
DVRs for tonight:
Stargate: Atlantis
Sanctuary
Ghost Whisperer
Numb3rs
--for Saturday:
Legend of the Seeker
--for Sunday:
Librarian 3: Curse of the Judas Chalice (TNT)

Spiral Galaxy Reviews suggests eBook readers for short fiction.
The list 10 Cool Gadgets Every Geek Should Want makes me doubt I'm really a geek, since most of them I wouldn't want (a couple are tempting).
Lucasfilm announced that a live-action Star Wars series will be on TV by 2010. Apparently it will reveal the "greasy, seamy underbelly of Star Wars" and "involve some characters we know".
DVR for tonight:
10pm Men in Trees
