And here I am, back in time for Halloween. I will natter on about the conference at some point soon, but right now I'll get back to links.

• There's now another possible solution to the mystery of what happened to Agatha Christie during her eleven-day disappearance: a fugue state. (Bunny thinks he had one of these happen to him once, although it was for considerably less time.)
• Artist Michael Fleming is creating virtual monster cards for the Halloween season.
• The sounds of the season, meanwhile, can be heard at ScarStuff.
• The space invaders have taken over Amsterdam! Beware of the Amsterinvaders!
• Apparently TV show theme songs are dying out. I can't really say this is a bad thing, even though my brain still has several theme songs from the '70s and '80s playing on brain radio occasionally.
• Speaking of nothing, did you know David Byrne has an online journal?
• And finally, for the photography lovers, check out these images from 1930s German culture magazines. Great stuff.
