Star Wars: The Clone Wars ★: New computer-animated Star Wars motion picture, in theaters this fall. How did I miss this until now?
Lego Model of the Discovery From ‘2001: A Space Odyssey’ ★: Exquisite. (Via Geekdad.)
kottke.org Ten-Year Anniversary ★: As ever, the home of fine hypertext products.

The Theory of Interstellar Trade ★: 1978 paper by economist Paul Krugman on the feasibility and implications of interstellar trade:
