Please don't spoil my day/I'm miles away/And after all/I'm only… reading the Wired News Blog Network:

• Gadget Lab checks out a new book called "101 Spy Gadgets for the Evil Genius," which offers advice on how to listen to and watch people without bothering to tell them. The best part: the book is surreptitiously equipped with a invisible-to-the-naked-eye webcam, allowing the author to monitor your every move.

Maybe I'm kidding. But maybe I'm not!

• Digg is different, and Monkey Bites tells you how. Essentially, your chances of joining the Digg glitterati set have diminished.

• When I go to the San Diego Comic-Con here in my fair city, women can be hard to find. But there are female comic fans out there, and Table of Malcontents wishes that the writers of "Veronica Mars" had a clue about this fact.
