I wouldn't trust DuckDuckGo with my data. They got bought out a while ago (if I remember correctly). Been using startpage.com with good results for a while.

Well that's the end of Google, as far as I'm concerned. (Not that I've been using Google for the past few years anyway.)

In case you're a fan of Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli and saw Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, you still may not know her glider, the Mehve, has been recreated in real life by artist Kazuhiko Hachiya.

It's called M-02J and has a 963 cm wingspan.

Christopher Paolini, so my brother imparted this joke this week: Why does Durza love Ellesméra?

Because of all the shade.

I don't recall if I laughed, but here it is, immortal as any other tweet can make something.

How a snake climbs a tree

Smaller than that. More like a decent chunk of the western US.

I just checked. The full rectilinear map is ... big:

Thank you so much Christopher Paolini for sending this to my Arya! She was in tears at your beautiful letter. We loved seeing you in Toronto last year.

I first painted the map of Elëa in rectilinear projection. Then we used a NASA program to convert to a Nicolosi globular projection. The original rectilinear map (which looks AWESOME) will be released at some point this year, both as a file and a print.

I just realized that #Murtagh has lasted for six months on the #NYTimes list! Wow. Half a year. You really are the best fandom ever!

Probably not exactly like this. We did deluxe editions of all of the other books back in the day. This continuing in that tradition.

Shed a tear for the poor folks working to replicate Alagaësia in Minecraft. :D

Etymology:

Alagaësia
ala = land
gaësia = rich/fertile

Alalëa
ala = land
lëa = a beautiful dream

Elëa = the dream itself
