But on Tuesday night she came to Emeryville for a new role: evangelist for change in Hollywood.&lt;br \/&gt;<br \/>\n&lt;br \/&gt;<br \/>\nSpeaking to a packed auditorium at Pixar Animation Studios, Davis spoke about her work to create a cultural shift in American media &#8212; ending what appears to be insidious gender bias in movies and television aimed at kids, which she believes is sending the damaging message that girls are less valued in society.&quot;<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/trekmovie.com\/2010\/09\/04\/new-record-for-costumed-trek-fans-set-at-dragoncon\/\" title=\"New Record for Costumed Star Trek Fans Set at Dragon*Con\">New Record for Costumed Star Trek Fans Set at Dragon*Con<\/a>: &quot;On Saturday night at Dragon*Con in Atlanta, GA Star Trek fans gathered to attempt to break the record for costumed Trekkies set just a month ago at the Official Star Trek convention in Las Vegas. And based on the count, it looks like they did it. &quot;<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.metafilter.com\/95329\/The-Authorized-Guide-and-Companion-to-Dune\" title=\"The Authorized Guide and Companion to Dune\">The Authorized Guide and Companion to Dune<\/a>: &quot;Snippets of poetry from the Imperium; a sample folk tale from the Oral History; brief biographies of over a dozen Duncan Idahos; two differing approaches to Paul Muad&#039;Dib himself and to his son Leto II; Fremen recipes; Fremen history; secrets of the Bene Gesserit; the songs of Gurney Halleck &#8212; these are just some of the treasures found when an earthmover fell into the God Emperor&#039;s no-room at Dar-es-Balat. Out of print for more than two decades, disavowed by Frank Herbert&#039;s estate, and highly sought-after by fans, the legendary Dune Encyclopedia is now available online as a fully illustrated and searchable PDF.&quot;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sometime between September 1st and September 8th, I thought this stuff was interesting.
