My how things have changed: Here's a 1990 BBC TV documentary about hypertext, hosted by "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" author Douglas Adams and narrated by former Doctor Who, Tom Baker. Found via Boing Boing.

Exciting news for Jack Kirby fans: DC Comics plans a series hardcover "New Gods Omnibi" reprinting Kirby's entire 1970s saga, chronologically and in color. Doing that means incorporating stories originally published in the separate "Jimmy Olsen," "New Gods," "Mister Miracle" and "Forever People" titles, along with the 1980s coda graphic novel, "The Hunger Dogs." It's estimated four, 200-page books will be required to the do the job. More details.
