The Self…

Recently I seem to have become somewhat obsessed with the idea of “self”. What is it? How is it created? Etc.
I’ve turned to one of the many books that I own as I look for some information that might make the self more understandable to me. The main book that I have been reading is […]

Rudy Jachan on new BSG…

Fired up Adium today and saw that Rudy Jachan of Galacticast fame was online.

the long tail strikes.

Comicology has been something that I just ran out of time to do a while back, but as of late people have been sending me email asking about if I’m going to ever do another show.
I guess that this is proof of the idea of the long tail (the idea that something that […]

Harvey Awards

You can now vote on which creators you think should win Harvey Awards.

However, the main site might look a bit […]

The Ping-001

Intro: What the hell is “the ping!”???
There are A LOT of comic book news sites that a person can go to for news, many of them overlap with the info that they toss out there on the web.
I always thought it would be cool if there was a ONE STOP sort of […]
