Random Thoughts

The first thing I did this morning (after getting dressed) was open all the windows and doors in the house in order to heat it up. Looks like it's going to be a beautiful day here in Seattle.

Early Visual Media shows how special effects were created in the Victorian age.

Strip Fight.

John wasn't as impressed as I was by Planet of the Capes. Yeah, I fell hard for that first sweet Elseworld idea, and John raises some good points.

24 Hour Comics Day is over. Wonder what came out of it this year?

Take a whole bunch of one panel comics. Mix up their captions. Exhilarator. Reload often to get funny mixes. Note: some of the images are not child-safe. Via Boing Boing.

Greg McElhatton does a Previews Review for Ninth Art. I found it interesting to compare the books I noticed to the ones he mentions.

Mike Sterling posts a wonderful Batman cover of interest to Aquaman fans. Must... find... issue... and... read... it...

The Sci-Fi wire has rumors of Angel TV Movies. Since it doesn't look like the effort to save Angel is going to work, a series of TV movies isn't a bad result.

Yet another researcher thinks he's found Atlantis. Ok. Whatever.

WARNING! WARNING! POLITICAL GARBAGE AHEAD! (people tired of my political rants can just skip the rest of the post):

Here's an editorial that dares to name Bush as a Traitor. In the meantime, Maureen Down of the NY Times (registration required) visits Bushworld. Links via Blah3.com. And in other political news, here's a site I can almost agree with (warning: naughty language). I don't particularly like John Kerry, but he's a whole lot better than Bush (which really isn't saying much, is it?).

Meanwhile, in Iraq, Raed Jarrar continues his roadmap to reconstruction posts with the demand that American companies pull out and let the Iraqis do the reconstruction themselves. Of course, that would mean that Cheney's business buddies wouldn't get their cut, so it'll never happen.

And lastly, North Korea Zone continues to monitor the situation in... well, North Korea obviously. They include links to video that shows some of the devastation.

END POLITICAL GARBAGE. WE NOW TAKE YOU BACK TO NORMAL PROGRAMMING.
