Hirano’s back at work!

January 31, 2009

Hellsing: The Dawn is due to run for another 60-80 pages. It hasn’t actually been decided where yet, but Young King Ours editor Yoshiyuki Fudetani has said that “For The Dawn alone, I can make a completely new magazine.”

In the meantime, though, he’s moving on to a new series, set to debut in YKO in June. (We can has higher-resolution preview, please? Also, who wants to take bets as to how many Hellsing character designs will be recycled…?)

History: made.

January 21, 2009

Nine-to-twelve-year-olds’ letters to Obama.

We Didn’t Start The Fire, remixed for the current generation. (Has anybody sung this and put it on YouTube yet?)

Steve Carell bought himself a store. (His sister-in-law is running the place.)

Assistance animals, beyond dogs: seeing-eye horses, medication-fetching monkeys, and at least one antipsychotic parrot.

ICU recovery apparently works better if you get patients up and walking.

Anatomically correct model of the human brain, made of yarn.

I was just wondering the other day if someone had collected links to Helpful Information For Clueless White People, and lo and behold, here they are. (This one in particular has lots of thorny statistics.)

Obamicon.me – take any picture and convert it to the red-blue-beige style of the iconic Obama portrait (see META). Some of my favorites: SLOPE, ONLY HOPE, AAACK, PEZ, EXTERMINATE, and the obligatory NEVER GONNA. It’s all about the HOPE and CHANGE.

On the road again

January 15, 2009

Spare clothes: Check.

Cell phone: Check.

Dalek slippers: Check. (They say “EXTERMINATE” when you step on them right.)

While everyone else streams into the area for the inauguration, I’m heading out of town to spend the weekend watching sci-fi movies of varying quality with a crowd of aging geeks.

Internet access will be sporadic. Don’t wait up.

It’s been a long day~

January 11, 2009

Terry Pratchett has been knighted. I can think of few more deserving.

The art of the clever insult – which certainly might include comparing Senators to potted plants.

Apparently the mustache is making a comeback.

It’s a bit late, but have an animated Doctor Who Christmas short, featuring Three, Ten, and K-9.
