- That Blue Checkmark
Twitter Blue is what happens when you start treating a tool as a status symbol, so you throw the tools away and start selling gold-plated hammers made out of thin plastic.
- Battle for the Net: Help Keep the Internet Open!
The FCC wants to eliminate net neutrality, the principle that ISPs should treat all traffic the same, and not block, throttle, or promote data based on what service you’re using or who you’re connecting to. But we can stop them. What’s Net Neutrality? Simple: your cable company shouldn’t decide where you get your news, what […]
- WonderCon Wants to Go Home
WonderCon still wants to return to San Francisco, but the only convention center big enough is awfully busy…and so is the spring con schedule.
- WonderCon Staying in Anaheim for 2014, Long Beach Comic-Con Next Week
It’s official: WonderCon will be back in Anaheim next year, which means I’m almost certain to go. Coming up sooner, though: Long Beach, next weekend.
- DC Comics Goes Digital
DC Comics has launched a digital comics program, starting with the iPad/iPhone and the Playstation network. And by launched, I mean launched. As in, you can download the app and buy comics right now. I’m really looking forward to the day when they expand this to more platforms (desktop PCs, Android and Windows–based tablets, etc) […]
- Mental Telepathy
It’s just redundant, like “big giant” or “fast speedster.” Is there any such thing as non-mental telepathy? It was nice to see someone taken to task in this panel from a Flash story…back in 1978!
- Unexpected Shower
Bad idea of the day: I’ll be back before the rain starts again. No need to bring my umbrella.

Photos and remarks about Al’s Brain, fried food, Melissa Etheridge concert and a night ride on the Ferris Wheel at the OC Fair.
- Kindle DX: A Digital Comics Platform?
The Kindle DX screen is comparable in size to a manga page. It’s black and white, but it could easily handle print comics without formatting or zoom.
- Comic-Con Hotel Booked – Sort Of (2009)
It took 1 1/2 hours, but I managed to reserve a hotel for this year’s Comic-Con by phone. I never did get through online.
- Election Day 2008
Katie and I got up early so we could hit the polls first thing in the morning and not have to worry about whether we’d be stuck in an insanely long line at the end of the day, like we were in 2004 and 2006. The first thing we noticed was the sound of rain […]
- Dead Flash Covers
The Flash has a long tradition of appearing dead on the covers of his comics, and most of the time he gets back up again.
- Minicon: LA Sci-Fi, Flash and Teen Titans: Trouble in Tokyo
My second trip to the LA Comic-Con at the Shrine proved far more interesting than my first, with a Teen Titans screening, signings, and some cool discoveries
- To The Con: Getting into SDCC 2004 at the last minute
Back in the day when you COULD get Comic-Con tickets and hotel reservations a week or two before the event. It still wasn’t easy, but it was possible.
