Bizarro Me and You and Everyone We Know

Tue, 19 Aug 2008 19:16:10 GMT

Want to read something funny? How about me trying to wrap my head around string theory physics, the fabric of the universe, and how it pertains to comics/speculative fiction?

Dr. Pol-Arity and the Legion of Science: Me and You and the Multiverse

Even if you're not a comic fan, there's some interesting discussion on the theory that there may be an exact copy of you out there in the universe. Geeky stuff, but fun to think about.

All of this stems from an episode of Radiolab, which is essential listening to anyone who's ever ended a sentence with a question mark.

Summer Movie Wrap-Up

Tue, 22 Jul 2008 16:22:30 GMT

I wrote a wrap-up of the summer's five comic book movies over......here. Really pleased with how it turned out.

Perfect

Sun, 29 Jun 2008 12:58:04 GMT

I speak without hyperbole when I say that Wall-E is a perfect film.

It is without flaw. It is Pixar's finest film, and a superlative example of their signature brand of storytelling. Wall-E is a stunning showcase of modern animation, but more importantly, a reminder of where movie's began. This is Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin, with a simple and effective understanding of the best tools in a screenwriter's kit, regardless of budget or technical ability. Never lazy and always inventive. It's the definition of movie magic. Impossibly clever, heart-felt, and dazzling. From script to pixel, it is a wonderful, wonderful movie.

I guested on a special edition podcast discussing the Incredible Hulk movie with the guys at iFanboy. It's really surreal being on the staff of a show that I've been listening to as a fan for close on two years. Remember, new geeky columns from yours (mostly) truly every Tuesday.

Check it out here.

Also, you should be on Twitter. Seriously. Such a better way to communicate.

Yes.

New Weekly Column

Tue, 03 Jun 2008 16:08:34 GMT

This week I started a new weekly column about comics and related media for iFanboy.com. I'll be posting a new article every Tuesday. This first of which is up today. It focuses on comics as escapism, relating to Houdini and other escape artists.

Set up a new blog on wordpress. Eventually it'll get it's own domain, but for now...

That's where I'll be posting the reviews and flash fictions. Hopefully some photography too.

Broke out the ol' camera and I'm gonna hit the books to see if I can't build up my skill set. Less shadow-face in the future, hopefully. Did some topiary action on the vast brambles of beard I had going. Feels much better.

A couple more on Flickr, including some tongue-in-cheek T-shirt modeling I did for the guys at iFanboy.

life is beautiful...and full of hot, hot subway air

Mon, 31 Mar 2008 12:44:40 GMT

An anonymous artist is collecting plastic bags and fashioning small dog/polar bear looking creatures, fastening them to subway grates, and then slinking off into the shadows. As the subway rushes by, air fills the bags, bringing the creatures to wriggling, billowing life. Potentially creepy as all get-out, but still a worthwhile curiosity, wouldn't you say?

EDIT: video of an Air Bear in action.

I've been trying to figure this video out. I have no idea how you'd go about training an elephant to do this.

never gonna give you up

Wed, 26 Mar 2008 01:31:23 GMT

You've been bamboozled into watching the opening beats of Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up" on YouTube by way of cleverly disguised links. You've seen RickRollers storm sporting events and Scientology protests. And you've wondered where it would possibly end.

The last word on the RickRolling phenomenon from Rick Astley himself!

This has been around for a while, but I can't help but adore this commercial for Monster.com. I do love when whole hordes and heaps of people clump together to work on something a handful would find brilliant. Even if the rest of the shaggy-headed masses shrugged and flipped the channel.

triple dog dare

Sun, 23 Mar 2008 22:22:53 GMT

Everyone has things they blog about. Everyone has things they don't blog about. Challenge me out of my comfort zone by telling me something I don't blog about, but you'd like to hear about, and I'll write a post about it. Ask for anything: latest movie watched, last book read, political leanings, thoughts on yaoi, favorite type of underwear, graphic techniques, etc. Repost in your own journal so that we can all learn more about each other.
