Auction: This is your last chance to get in on the action and buy your very own autographed PyroManiac bumper sticker. It is a one-of-a-kind item as Phil has declared he will not autograph any more of them. You can check the eBay listing here.

Blogging: Mike Russell, who formerly blogged at Eternal Perspectives, has created a new and unique site, Lord of the Kingdom. He will be examining images of biblical character and themes in the writings of J.R.R. Tolkien.
