   We're very happy to be launching code.google.com today. To begin, we're releasing some developer-oriented libraries and tools. A number of engineers have used their 20% time to ready these tools for release, and will also help build the communities we hope will form around them.
   
   We're also featuring links to all current Google APIs.

8. WHEDONesque: Joss Whedon Confirmed for Wonder Woman. Awesome. I'd rather have him do X-Men 3, but I'll definitely settle for this. If anyone can make Wonder Woman not suck, it's Joss.
