She's From Away

sfa-graphic-sml.gif

She's From Away is a brand new web comic from Hope Larson that just started last week and updates every Thursday. It's an autobiographical comic about how Hope and her husband, Scott Pilgrim creator Bryan Lee O'Malley moved to Nova Scotia where the locals refer to them as "come from aways". Hope's drawings are sophisticated in their cuteness and I love how she incorporates her narration into the compositions.

Read the first episode of She's From Away.

Near miss over London?

1374902-1
A scary series of pictures of what could have been a near mid air collision over London, although there's no telling how close those planes really are. But even if there's a lot of foreshortening going on, I doubt they're the 3 nautical miles apart that they're supposed to be.

Lego vs Sony

legoman.jpg

Two companies take very different attitudes towards their customers.

The February issue of Wired Magazine has a great story by Bendan I. Koerner about Lego embracing the community of Lego Mindstorms obsessed fans to tap into their enthusiasm and loyalty and make the product more popular and even improve it in future releases.

Koerner writes about Lego executives (and their legal department) debating their response when the Mindstorms firmware was hacked and released on the net within weeks of release:

"Bubble" *** (out of four): Steven Soderbergh's bold experiment is noteworthy as much for its delivery as for the film itself.

bubble.jpg

Sometimes Steven Soderbergh’s films are better described as “projects”. The director clearly enjoys the flexibility his career affords him. Since his 1989 gem “sex, lies and videotape” made him a name, his wildly uneven career has teetered between popcorn fare like "Ocean's Eleven" and serious Oscar bait like "Traffic". With “Bubble” not only is the film itself an experiment (minimalist storytelling using non-actors) but so is its delivery. “Bubble” is being released simultaneously in theaters, on DVD and on cable.

404 Error

Whoops! We're not sure if it was your fault or ours (probably yours, we're good that way) but you've encountered a FATAL ERROR!!! Or at least, a pretty grumpy one.

Specifically the Latvians who run our server are telling us in a weird accent "Smarty error: [in evaluated template line 5]: syntax error: unrecognized tag 'mtfeed' (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 580), Comrade!". Ain't life a bitch.

If you want to vent, email our slacker of a webmaster. Otherwise, we'd suggest going back, using search, or clicking around aimlessly on this page like a moron.

Have fun.
