Austin Blog-gasm - Week of July 8

Here’s a round-up of things we found in Austin Blogs this week.

• Big Red Barbie gets to the bottom of those Flocking Hell comic strips that have been appearing in the Chronicle. Turns out they’re ads trying to convince you that iPods are stupid. Or something.
• An Austin company is planning to clone cows for human consumption. Spontaneous Prose has visions of Soylent Green.
• It’s too pricey for us, but Los Brushes gives Eddie V’s Edgewater Grill a thumbs up.
• Austinist reports on yet another new high-rise coming soon to a downtown near you. Tokyo Effect, baby!
