One More Day! Please remember to enter my Bloggity Contest if you'd like a copy of Colonia: Islands and Anomolies by Jeff Nicholson OR a page of original artwork from the series. Just write a micro-essay of no more than 50 words on why/how comic books are good as educational materials and send it to emeraldtegan@comcast.net with a subject line of Bloggity Contest #1. I still don't have many entries, so the odds are very good.
The teaser trailer for the Fantastic Four movie is up. I can't really judge... doesn't look absolutely awful, though, and that's something.
Via Elayne, the official Alan Freakin' Davis Website is now live and in action. Go check it out.
Google is attempting to make comment spam useless. I can see this making a lot of things useless, so I hope it's implemented carefully. Check out the Slashdot article and discussion.
You can see a movie poster for Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy at Ain't It Cool News.
Free Comic Book Day 2005 has announced the Gold and Silver sponsors. As usual, the Marvel and DC contributions are lame. Check out the lists here.
Paul O'Brien of Ninth Art ponders why comics with critical acclaim are cancelled.
An animation director took the scary zombie-like people in "Polar Express" and shows how to make them look normal.
I love the article about photography back when it was a new medium. I particularly love this quote: "The fact is, people don’t know their own faces. Half of ‘em have never looked in a glass half a dozen times in their life, and directly they see a pair of eyes and a nose, they fancy they are their own." Via Boing Boing.
Also via Boing Boing is an experiment with the US Mail. A group tests the mail to see what will go through and what won't.
Tomorrow is my birthday. I will not be celebrating at all tomorrow, I'll probably wait until the weekend. I'll be working tomorrow, and I've got an all-day event on Friday, which is hubby-Eric's birthday (yes, we have back-to-back birthdays).
