When we began working on Leverage, the Electric Entertainment offices were on a studio lot. Across the way, a giant steel and glass building was under construction - a new post house. I idly asked Mark Franco, our VFX supervisor, what they did in that building. "Everything we do on six Macs," he answered.

"So that's not the future of visual effects?" I asked.

"John, the future of visual effects is four guys in a garage with a bong."

in which the producer and writer(s) for Leverage talk about their work.

Leverage is a one-hour heist drama on TNT; it may be the best-written show currently on air.

The Red Line announced a delay due to "police action".

Hot police action?
or should I be thinking of the Korean War?

The RSS feed from Warren Ellis just carried several items about Dardick trounds, a weird ammunition system that nobody adopted.

My brain made a few connections, and out popped _Body Armor 2000_, an anthology from 1986, in which on page 163 we have this story:

# The Chemically Pure Warriors · Allen Kim Lang · na If Jul ’62

(Thanks to Locus and Google, which was faster than walking into my library and finding the darn thing. http://www.locusmag.com/index/t40.htm)

Anyway, that story involves bacteriological warfare and Dardick trounds... the only place I've ever seen them mentioned before.
