Commented on Today is 24 hour Comics Day!
mayanmargret- If you aren't seeing underground comics in a comic book store then you probably aren't looking very hard.. or you just don't want to see them. After all, the above post is about a large number of artists all...

Commented on Offworld's Retro Remakes week: what needs to be remade?
oh... a remake of Penn & Teller's Smoke and Mirrors would be awesome too. Maybe as an iPhone game? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penn_&_Teller%27s_Smoke_and_Mirrors...
Commented on Offworld's Retro Remakes week: what needs to be remade?
Atari's Hard Drivin' is the first thing that comes to mind. http://www.klov.com/H/Hard_Drivin%27.html Modern racing games are too realistic... what's the point of that? I want ramps, loops, shortcuts, and phantom racecars. I'd also like to see remakes of Street Fighter...

Commented on Listen: Anamanaguchi, Minusbaby, goto80 appearing on Beatles chiptune cover compilation
Crazy, this I was sharing links to chiptune Beatles covers all morning on Google Reader, but I had no idea about this. Can't wait to hear the samples....
Commented on Home again, home again: I'm back on Offworld
To be clear, I absolutely love the Jejune Institute. The game design is creative and I enjoy the "world" within the game. I didn't care for the ending of the first big segment of the game, and didn't bother to...
Commented on The death of "locational privacy"
mdh #10 posted- "you use Twitter AND value your privacy? Not incongruous actions I suppose, but can you really simultaneously want people to know, yet not to know, what you're up to?" I don't see any correlation. If I share...

Commented on Notes from the San Francisco Zine Fest: Doctor Popular
Doctor Popular Doesn't Know Anything About Commenting. I thought I posted that comment in this thread http://www.boingboing.net/2009/08/27/meet-the-hon-james-d.html but I guess I made a mistake... or something happened cause I had two windows open?...

Thanks for stopping by the booth Mark. Glad you enjoyed the comics. There's some more info about RDKABT here http://www.docpop.org/2008/10/23/robots-dont-know-anything-about-twitter.html I'm currently watercoloring each page with the hopes of releasing a free copy of the book as an iPhone app...

Commented on Notes from the San Francisco Zine Fest: Sean Logic and The Great MySpace Swindle

Commented on Behold! Music labels introduce own music file format, CMX
I'd love to see a more standardized system for metadata. Since I really want the songs to appear correctly (with album art, lyrics, artist info, etc) I have to sell my album as a zip file with mp3s, album art,...

I would totally buy this if it were available as a download, but I'm not buying cds anymore. Writing the store now to encourage them to offer an mp3 option....
Commented on Documentary on the Church of Satan from 1970
I just want to address the misconception that Anton was some sort of organ virtuoso. He certainly played the organ, but anyone who has heard his records can probably tell that he wasn't that great at it. His own claims...
Commented on Bill Maher: Birthers must be stopped
Ever since I heard Orly (who is one of the loudest voices in the birther movement) I waited for someone to create this image. http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/7862/orlynpy.jpg ORLY? Ya, RLY....
Commented on Radley Balko on NY Times photo: " I can’t really conceive of a scenario where it wasn’t staged."
I can tell you for a fact that GETV's Irina Slutsky does this all the time. It's so scary. I try not to be an enabler, but when she takes her hands off the wheel... it's do or die for...

stellar! Can I wait until the TPB or will I just end up collecting the individual series? Hopefully I can wait....
Commented on World's oldest basketball shoes (hoax!)
yeah, I'm feeling totally duped. The shoes in the photo are obviously modern. They are made from http://colchesterrubberco.com/ who probably created the whole "first shoe" story to promote their "replicas". They still look good though....
Commented on World's oldest basketball shoes (hoax!)
Those look amazing! I would have imagined it would have taken longer to refine the basketball shoe, but these shoes come from around the same time as creation of the sport itself and they look modern. Here is some more...

God bless that Mr. Kochalka! I'd love to see him design a game some day....
Commented on The Mac Mini Rules
I was talking to my boss about buying an Apple TV for my new apartment, but he suggested getting a Mac Mini instead. Considering over half the video I would be watching would be coming from Hulu, and most of...
Commented on Timbaland finally sued over chiptune plagiarism
Category- I hear people argue that Timbaland steals all the time, but I have not found any other cases. I know you make music as well, you know there is a difference between stealing and licensing, right? Tim has carved...
Commented on Video: Overeager Fanboy Bum Rushes 3G S Launch, Gets Blocked

HaltingPoint commented on Today is 24 hour Comics Day!
Ah 24hr Comic Day. As an alumni of the Minneapolis College of Art & Design I had quite a few comic major friends who celebrated this holiday religiously. Gotta say I enjoyed clicking the Minneapolis link and seeing at least one person I know in those pictures. Some pretty crazy stuff comes out of this day, it is amazing how creative people get in a crunch....
andygates commented on Today is 24 hour Comics Day!
#15 The 99 isn't around here so I torrented a few episodes out of curiosity. It's your standard teen super fare - very Marvelicious - and nicely done. Not preachy or inaccessible. I'll probably spring for a TPB once it gets collected. Alas I'm going to score a 'noble failure' for 24HCD after a Power Nap Malfunction (super-saiyan slumber powers: activate!). 15 pages inked, the rest just barely roughed out. Great fun. There's something about pressure that forces you to stop dithering and perfecting and just get it on paper: it's the NaNoWriMo effect (or for professionals, the Angry Agent...
Lea A Franco commented on Today is 24 hour Comics Day!
I used the opportuniy of 24HCD to accomplish a 24 Hour Comics Day first: a 24 Hour Comic made entirely on an iPod Touch/iPhone; writing, research, art, uploading and Tweeting updates. The happy (and successful!) result of piling one challenge on another begat "Daruma Every Day" and can be seen here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/divalea/sets/72157622508030458/ The art was created using Steve Sprang's badass Brushes app, with apps like cool fx and Photo Finish for textures and finishes. My 24hc is also the first made with Brushes. I was hosted by Dragon's Lair San Antonio, and I'm the point person for next years' event....
Geoff Sebesta commented on Today is 24 hour Comics Day!
It was a good event this year! Here's mine: http://megatexas.livejournal.com/196424.html I did it a little different this year. I used Zach Taylor's idea -- instead of writing a new book, I "covered" an older book, and spent twenty-four hours reworking and redrawing an old Gil Kane issue of Superman. I don't know if it's "original" or "publishable" but I'll tell ya what, I learned a ton and it was fun....
cuvtixo commented on (BB Video) Mighty Boosh: Live at the Roxy / Pocket Book of Boosh (pt. 4 of 4)
I'm not surprised Korea would have monument inspired by Gary Larson- they're culture is weird (and wonderful). Ironically, I've read that many fomerly malaria infested areas solved problem outbreaks through DDT. Now, areas like southeast Mexico have not found an ecological alternative....
