I don’t know that I have anything resembling an insightful review to give Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. As some of my friends have mentioned, that sure was a pilot. I mean, other than not knowing Shepherd Book (Ron Glass) was going to show up, I didn’t see much awesome in the premiere episode that wasn’t in …

With Spotlight all caught up on here until I finish the next chapter, I think we’ve taken a sufficiently-long break from Power Pack that I can post some more of this stuff. 🙂 (from Marvel Age Annual #2, words by Louise Simonson, art by Jon Bogdanove and Art Nichols.) I’ve previously discussed Power Pack’s wholly …
It’s been just about long enough that I’ve recovered the energy to do a show again, and one of my favorite local directors is directing something that seems fun and has several roles I think I’d enjoy trying on, so Sunday and Monday I signed up and lined up for Manatee Players’ cattle call auditions. …
I subscribed to Upworthy‘s RSS feed a while ago when friends kept linking me there to see things I thought were worth seeing. It seemed only reasonable to, in turn, pop on over to SoulPancake when I realized I’d seen their logo on a lot of the Upworthy video links I’d liked. While I was …

Inspired a lot by these minimalist super-icon iPhone wallpapers, and the fact that my old wallpaper and lock screen didn’t play as nice with iOS 7, I started playing at trying to make some Power Pack symbol wallpapers. So far, I’ve managed to do the boys: Gee is all square edges, of course, so he …
I’ve been wanting to watch this TED talk since I saw the link on Upworthy, but only recently had the time to spare. I’ve been fascinated by hearing voices and schizophrenia for a while (part of the metaphor of Crowd over in Spotlight is a more literal conglomeration of voices, to use the most recent …
Another day, another bit of filler pretending to be content. While that’s probably true of me, it’s especially true of Yahoo! I ran across this one t’other day: How to tell if your honey’s being dishonest. Is your girlfriend playing with her hair? Forget split ends: she might be lying! Did your boyfriend just compliment …
The title is from an old boss I had, who would pull that phrase out as a half-joke whenever someone would balk at a task. It is, however, a kind of continuation on some of the things I was nattering about yesterday. In this case, I’m not so concerned with time / pay math breakdowns, …

via the Concept Co-Op Twitter feed, I ran across this article on pay expectations for artists. Specifically, the author (an artist who goes by Daarken) takes on what’s apparently a quite common offer for one-off corporate illustrations: $100.00. It seems like a nice little sum, until Daarken does a bit more breaking down: Minimum wage …
Via a reprint of one of the stories on Upworthy (link NSFW), I’m quite curious about the Anything That Loves anthology, which promises to “explore the wild and wonderful uncharted territory between ‘gay’ and ‘straight.’” The comic on Upworthy, for example, is about a gay may who finds he’s been repeatedly attracted to trans men, …
