This is an absolute treat, I read the teasers and the first episode and enjoyed it a lot. I would not have heard about it except I read the blogs of several authors I enjoy, and some of the authors involved happen to be on my list - they then pointed me to the others and they have all been talking about this.
It’s also the product of a childhood imagination pastime being reinvented by the author the child has become.
So I thought I’d check it out. Could have been self indulgence, but so far it’s good 
What is it? A donation supported episodic fiction - let me quote:
The FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit hunts humanity’s nightmares. But there are nightmares humanity doesn’t dream are real.
The Behavioral Analysis Unit sends those cases down the hall.
Welcome to Shadow Unit.
Nice teaser, eh?
Something I have had long discussions about, with several close friends who tend to be on the other side of the argument. Seems the topic is warm again!
are new mathematical truths discovered or invented? http://www.sciencenews.org/view/generic/id/31392/title/Still_debating_with_Plato
If anyone cares I’m squarely on the invented side of the argument.
I don’t buy the concept of absolute ideas that are somehow in a different sphere - and I dont buy the challenge which says that it is proven wrong by the fact that so many different people and cultures come up with the same concepts.

This is the site of someone who left his engineering job to join the UNHCR. The stories on the site give you a different perspective on life and issues - geopolitics, the dignity of people, what people can do - but also lots of anecdotes and funny/dramatic stories.
some posts to give you an idea if you’ll like this or not
introduction: how it started
deserted island story
deportation from the us
current topic food crisis
I think this site also drove it home to me what people can do in all sorts of places, and indirectly he sparked this UNESCO idea nagging me in the back of my mind, which is that as a scientist, technology expert, small business leader and feminist, and someone who is always harping about the wonder of people and cultures of all kind… I really ought to put my skills to use for an organisation like this. How to get about it is another matter…
Anyway, enough about me, go check that site :D
Sometimes you will see a link to a site, or news item on one site, think “oh that’s nice must check it out”. The you find out that several more of your daily sites/feeds/newsletters all mention it.
I dont usually jump on bandwagons but this deserves it :D
Each picked a different entry, here’s my choice

Happy news today. My super friend Lene and I have found out that there was no draw for the 4 days of Nijlmegen and therefore we are in.

I am very excited now, but I also must train up a little. I know that I used to do whole weeks without much training, or 100 km straight.. but I was a bit younger.
