Sunday Morning Recs
Sep. 2nd, 2007 09:47 amSince I'm discussing both Heroes and SPN in this post, I'll use my pre-series xover icon.
SPN Fics:
Sam learns cross-stitching and uses it for protective reasons by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
embroiderama. Gen. If you like SPN and/or crafting, read this - it's very different.
musesfool posted There's Never Time to Save, You're Paying By the Hour, which reads like a casefic but feels like a character sketch. Or vice versa. In other words, it's a terrific piece of writing with many, many layers.

Intrepid reporter12_12_12 has been collecting picspams and interviews and more from the Heroes World Tour, and you can find her collection of links here (and ancillary discussion of the sublime potential of a Jim Profit/Steve Carrington fic/art challenge here).
And Adrian Pasdar has posted a new video on his YouTube page here starring Milo and Jack and a vending machine. I just love how he's making these little films all along their trip, and sharing them.

Also, a legal story rec - Google has settled a trademark infringement suit with American Blind; in the settlement, Google "agreed not to make any changes to its AdWords trademark policy that would adversely affect American Blind in exchange for the company’s dropping its claims." Not sure exactly what this means, and I'm trying to get my hands on whatever settlement document was filed with the court. The reason this is interesting to me is because it deals with whether a company's competitor can purchase keywords in Google's AdWords system that are registered trademarks of other companies. In other words, a parallel would be whether Pepsi could buy the keyword Coke. Google seems to have come out of this situation with a settlement document that doesn't say that such purchases are trademark infringement, which means that Google doesn't have to start restricting AdWord keyword purchases, but since the case isn't resulting in any rulings, there's also no additional guidance as to whether a company can sue the competitor who purchases its registered trademarks as keywords.
