  1. Re:Narrow-minded kitchen sink mentality on EA Exec Won't Green Light Any Single Player-Only Games · · Score: 1

    Actually Steve Jobs has been reincarnated and is a warrior-philosopher. Fox News covered it, it has to be true! http://www.foxnews.com/tech/2012/08/31/steve-jobs-has-been-reincarnated-as-warrior-philosopher-thai-group-says/

  2. Thank goodness for Ubisoft??? on EA Exec Won't Green Light Any Single Player-Only Games · · Score: 1

    I'm confused and don't play games online. Medal of Honor games are fun for a few hours though.

  3. Days of Destruction, Days of Revolt with Joe Sacco on And Now, the Cartoon News · · Score: 1

    I just finished Chris Hedges and Joe Sacco's new book , Days of Destruction, Days of Revolt. The book is about specific examples of unbounded capitalism in the US and how it destroys the communities.

    I found the illustrations made the book a faster read (of course it would have been shorter otherwise), but I really like the "comic" style used in each section to portray the events described in specific interviews. It was a really interesting approach that I hadn't really seen before, at least in non-fiction.

    You can see what I'm describing starting on page 25 on the Amazon Look Inside area:
    http://www.amazon.com/Days-Destruction-Revolt-Chris-Hedges/dp/1568586434/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1345639118&sr=8-3&keywords=joe+sacco#reader_1568586434

    Anyway, I think it could be good experiment, running a line between video and pure text content, allowing for graphic depiction of things without the associated production costs.

  4. Re:WHERE?!? on Perseids Meteor Shower Maximum Is This Weekend · · Score: 1

    It's my fault, I will admit, in terms of details about the event. I've noticed that such reminders are often after the event, and I submitted a terribly short description, not including any details, but a link which wasn't used. I submitted this text: "The Perseids maximum is on August 12th/13th, but Saturday night looks to be pretty good as well. The moon won't be an issue. In the midwest cloud cover shouldn't be an issue ei Mther." And this link: http://meteorshowersonline.com/perseids.html I believe the editor did a great job livening up my submission. My comments were targeted to the midwest, I get to go camping tomorrow night to watch the show...

    Northeastern sky from the US.

  6. My First Accepted Submission!!! on Perseids Meteor Shower Maximum Is This Weekend · · Score: 0

    I feel though I have accomplished something. Finally after 8 hours of unsuccessfully troubleshooting a damn bug at work.

  7. Re:HOAX! on Bar Performer Arrested For Copyright Violations · · Score: 1

    You mean this article?
    http://www.blogs.oregonlive.com/oregonian/newsupda tes/default.asp?item=214112

    It clearly states that he didn't pay ASCAP and that is why he faces a lawsuit:
    Because his place features local musicians and covers are rare, he didn't think he had to pay the musicians and publishers group an estimated $2,000 to cover performances of copyrighted tunes.

    Hoax? I think not.
