Replacement Felt for Wacom Mouse
Every so often I post a LiveJournal message more to remind me of something than to communicate to others... although if this helps anyone else, then that's a bonus ( Read more... ) -
Converting Video for iPad with Multiple Audio Tracks and Subtitles
Sanity . . . slipping . . . must write this down . . . before darkness consumes me . . .
Yes, in case you can't tell, I've just spent the past few hours trying to bash my head against the wall that is video file production for the iPad (and, quite possibly, for the iPhone and others). I'm knee-deep in insanity here, but I've found a process that I ( Read more... ) -
Today's Random Comic Book Thought
Many fans of comic books from the past few years might be asking themselves, "When is the exact moment that Reed Richards revealed himself to be a total jerk?"
I can state with reasonable confidence that would be Fantastic Four #7, from 1962 ( Read more... ) -
The Most Disappointing Beatles: Rock Band Possible!
The Beatles: Rock Band video game came out yesterday, and I have no doubt that Beatles fans are enjoying themselves immensely with that game -- at least, those who have next-gen video-game systems and hi-def televisions and lots of money and time and... no, I'm not jealous ( Read more... ) -
Just Make Sure It's Wet . . .
Wikipedia currently has an article that uses italics to serve as the mildest warning for one of the most unsafe experiments I've ever seen:
[The Leidenfrost effect] has also been used in some dangerous demonstrations, such as dipping a wet finger in molten lead... without injury to the demonstrator.

The Comic Pamphlet Is Officially Dead
For many, many years, I was an avid comic-book purchaser. But for a number of reasons, I gave it up cold turkey; I stopped buying comics in a weekly format about four or five years ago. (I still buy a number of graphic novels, but even then I've mostly been limiting myself to those that have ultra-snazzy "Absolute"-style oversized hardcovers, ( Read more... ) -
You Sound Fun; Where Are You?!
I'm sick of conventions that don't say where they are on their front page. If I've learned that an event I might enjoy will be at (say) FUBARCon, it shouldn't take me 10 clicks of browsing through the FUBARCon website to learn where this convention actually is (which is almost always the first determining factor of "Can I go?"). -
A Mighty Swashbuckler Am I!
I'm deeply honored to have won first place in the Swashbucklers of the 7 Skies logo remix contest, for my Frank Gorshin: Swashbuckler entry. I'm especially honored because so many of the other entries were really, really good. (Thanks also to the comments in various spots from folks who liked my 7-Eleven and Loch Ness remixes ( Read more... ) -
DungeonADay.com -- Jump On Now!
As someone who spent nearly a decade working for and with a weekly subscription-model gaming website (that'd be Pyramid), I was intrigued by someone else giving it a go . . . especially when it's as big a name as Monte Cook.
His latest endeavor is Dungeonaday.com; despite the name, it's not really a dungeon a day, but rather one huge sprawling " ( Read more... ) -
More Swashbucklers of the 7 Skies Logo Remixes
I confess . . . I'm finding these logo remixes fun (and I've learned more about Photoshop in the past week than I have in years). Unfortunately, I'm not thrilled by either of these, but I also find it hard to mentally compete with the Frank Gorshin homage from last week.
