What’s a young person to do with all this economic uncertainty and job worry? Well, lookee here: Yahoo! has just the answer to your prayers, without needing all that pesky college: That would be the link text, anyway, for this article, which hasn’t nearly as misleading an a headline, although its sub-title starts with the …
I’ve been a big fan of Ctrl+Paint since I started really trying to play with digital coloring / art. I’m not especially good, but, seriously, Matt Kohr’s videos are responsible for both most of the small improvements I’ve made, and the fact that I haven’t yet thrown up my hands in defeat and utter self-loathing. …

No one can ever accuse Mark Millar of not having hellishly good success in the media markets, especially as concerns synergizing his comics properties with Hollywood. His latest is apparently meant to be a series, set in Detroit, about folks with super speed. The cover appears to feature one of the young speedsters in action: …
The other half is a fan of tattoos, and of reality competition shows, so Ink Master is on the watch list will me or nill me. This week, at least, my squirming at the thought of needles in flesh was at least going to be countered by something I’m into: comic books. Specifically, this week …
I just caught up with Continuum via our On Demand, and I may eventually have something coherent to say about it, but right now it’s only relevant in that it caught one of my hangups with its finale: the season-ending cliffhanger.

It all started as I was trying to come up with a super-hero named after a stinging insect that wasn’t already taken. I failed miserably. There’s already a Wasp, a Yellowjacket, Green and Brown Hornets, Red and Queen Bees, and a Bumblebee of both the human and transforming robot persuasion. And then there’s Ant-Man, of …
I’m making very small steps to try to rein in the eating out / eating poorly. Certainly, making one’s own food is a good step, but I’m tired and lazy and we said very small, remember? So: lower-calorie, frozen meals. Little boxes, little boxes and all that. On the continuum of healthy choices, it’s a …
As usual, once my brain latches onto something, it tends to go into mental pitbull mode. Peter Pan is no better at escaping those steely obsessive jaws, it seems. How obsessive? How about turning a gag line into a mission statement? There’s a bit right after Peter meets Wendy, when he says “You mustn’t touch …
My fiancée is in the preparatory research stage of costume designing a local production of Peter Pan, which means there’s a lot of Pan talk around the homestead. And, honestly, there’s a lot to talk about. We’ve nattered about discussing the “Indians” quite a bit, as that section of the show is especially … delicate. …

Visited the local franchise for The Big Mouse recently, where things seem to be taking an upturn technologically. In lovely money-saving news, Disney resorts have finally decided to include free Wi-Fi in room prices. Okay, the frugality here is relative. Even “value resorts” aren’t bargain-basement prices. Which was, of course, why it was nice to …
