This is a clip from Cosmos, a PBS series that is available on Hulu. Hours of watching, coming up.

Also, the book he mentions which is the first use of flatland as a phrase.
Back to work.
Bone continues?
San Diego Comic Con is happening right now, and there are all sorts of neat announcements. New Umbrella Academy series. New Gerard Way book that isn't Umbrella. New Non-Hellboy Universe Mignola book. Etc etc etc. Those all seem fairly obvious. The one I never expected in a million billion years was this one right here.
NEW BONE!
So, one of these Bone books is only partially new, and the other is 3 novels with illustrations inside. But all of this is being drawn by Jeff Smith. Does this mean RASL will be even slower and be 1 issue a year instead of 3? I love the guy and all his work, but I wish I could see more of it. It also seems kind of weird to me. I always loved that in BONE proper, you never see Boneville. Only the Valley. To set stories in Boneville may take away the magic. Like finding out about the Wizard of Oz. Or uh, midichlorians.

scribblenauts x fft
i think scribblenauts looks really cool, and i love the obsession/detail of these street fighter/other characters in the same style:

so, i wanted to dabble with some. here's my first, a male black mage from fftactics. going to keep going until i'm bored with fft (never), and then maybe try out the invisibles or doom patrol or something like this.
while searching tonight, i may have found the most amazing resource for this...instead of just using tiny 200x200 images i find.

This site is amazing. I wish the Odin Sphere art was in game pixels, but still. Whoa!
as if i need more reasons to go to japan
i want this in my house, or, to live right in front of it. could get a nice tent that has room for a desk and bookshelves.
brüno
went and saw bruno last night -- the 10:41pm show. there was a ~7 year old in the same row as me, two seats away. this is amazing parenting. in the swinger party scene, he was finally asked by his dad to look away. he pretty much asked 'why' the entire time. when i saw the Hangover, there was a 5 year old in my row. Rated R should have a minimum age, because this is gross.
the best part of the whole experience was the new District 9 trailer. previously i saw interesting posters on a bus station and upon closer inspection saw they were for that movie. i told leah about how it came to be made and a rough plot synopsis. as the trailer ended last night, she said, to herself, something along the lines of "whoa, i can't wait to see that". therefore, everything is amazing.
here's the 1st district 9 trailer which is good too..but this new one was really cool.
also, a lady in the row in front of us said, after the trailer, "i'm skipping that one!"

"Space Bar", finale
timestamp on the first progress shot was 7:00 pm. Time on the last one: 2:00 am. factor in about 30 minutes of screwing around and eating black beans...the time just flew by.
tomorrow i'll upload it to the derby and maybe get a couple more votes than last time.
good night. (click for huge version)

"Space Bar", process 2
finished the tail section first, and then started in on the exterior of the window.
"Space Bar", process
This week's shirt.woot theme is space. I jotted an idea down in my sketchbook once...about how the star(*) key on the keyboard could hang out at the space bar if it wanted to get drunk. I thought it was kind of funny. Space bar. So, for this space theme I chose to recreate nighthawks as a bar/space ship. a space bar.
After a couple sketches on paper, here's how I started.

treasure world
when i read the title of this game, treasure world, i thought it was some sort of combination of all treasure's games...like marvel vs capcom but with insane shooters and stuff. instead it's an even more insane wifi-hot-spot-turned-into-treasure-collecting-game. i know – another one of those, right?
you can read way too much about this game here...if you are like me, you may get really interested.
at first you'll think, ok wifi hotspots become treasure. that seems pretty fair for an idea. but then you'll read that the arrangement of your in-game town is also sheet music for a song...well that's nuts.
honorable mention on shirt.woot
got an email the other day letting me know that i picked up an honorable mention for this shirt.woot submission. i think i've had 4 now that have been honorably mentioned. keep trying, i guess.
when i submit shirts, i'll go and check to see what place it's in sometimes, but i guess i forgot to read the comments on this one... seems like there was a little unhappiness that a similar shirt exists. i didn't know of the shirt before hand and checked it out, but don't really think it's all that similar to mine. same subject matter, way different execution. anyways.
Cloud Gaming
This really interests me. Hope to be playing some of my old favorite PC games through a browser on my mac (Silent Storm, I'm looking at you).
