The Education of Shawn Barber - (USA)
As an art teacher, Shawn Barber had a reputation. Teaching damn-near every class offered at the Ringling School of Art & Design in Sarasota, Florida, his alma mater, and later at the California College of Arts in San Francisco, he was often frustrated — frustrated and disappointed — at what he saw as a lack of dedication from many of his students. Not that they were unskilled, necessarily, but he didn’t see artists: He saw people who wanted others to think they were artists. And so he told

10 Types of Comic Con Fans - (USA)
If you missed Comic Con, you missed more than just the costumes of course. You also missed the array of personality types that seem to pop up at these large-scale geekfests.You may think you know about the attendees, based on the stereotypes, but really, there’s a lot more too it than you thought. The Stereo-typical Geek These are the kids that smell like they haven’t bathed in a week and still get giddy over the concept of seeing a girl “IRL.” While revolting to everyone around them, th

Ten of the Biggest Sports Scandals - (USA)
With the suspension of Manny Ramirez, I felt it was a good time to take a look back at some of the biggest scandals in sports history. Everyone does their own list, this is my version.10. Danny AlmonteThe Rolando Paulino All Stars from the Bronx, NY was led into the Little League World Series by their star pitcher, Danny Almonte, who dominated district, state, and regional levels. He led them to a third place finish at the World Series. However proof that Almonte was actually 14, which would mak

Comics A.M. | The comics Internet in two minutes - (USA)
Quebecor World Industry | Global printing giant R.R. Donnelley has offered to buy the assets of Quebecor World for $1.3 billion in cash and stock. Montreal-based Quebecor, which filed for bankruptcy protection in January 2008, is the world’s second-largest commercial printing company, and one of the major printers of comic books in North America. Quebecor reportedly reached an agreement with creditors last month that is expected to allow the company to emerge from bankruptcy protection as e

the 2016 o-lympics - (USA)
Somewhat under the radar, the White House is making strenuous efforts to bring the 2016 Olympic Games to Chicago in 2016. Obama has put an unprecedented amount of presidential clout into securing the bid. He's assigned one of his closest aides, Valerie Jarrett, to the task (as a member of the Obama inner circle, former Chicago businesswoman, natural-born diplomat and fixer extraordinaire, Jarrett was made for the role). He's already recorded two separate videos pitching Chicago to the Olympic

Why Chinglish Deserves A Spot In The Hall Of Fusion Languages - (USA)
Chinglish is not all about poor grammar and misplaced context. This is according to German Oliver Radtke who is now based in Beijing and blogs about his Chinglish love in The Chinglish Files . I can imagine it was a sad day for Radtke when the Chinese government started a quest to stamp out “embarrassing” Chinglish signs in preparation for the Olympic games . He has a personal Chinglish favorite: “You can enjoy the fresh air after finishing a civilized urinating.” “It challenges you as

Counting Down the Zeroes 2001: Heist - (USA)
Here is my second entry (fourth overall) for Film for the Soul's brilliant, and impressively exhaustive inventory of the films from the 2000's, Counting Down the Zeroes . The film I chose for my second go-round with the films from 2001 was David Mamet's underrated thriller Heist . And don't forget to check out the other fine entries at Film for the Soul. Heist opens with a classic 1940’s black and white Warner Brothers symbol; setting the mood throughout that this is going to be a c

Passion of the Weiss Top 50 Rap Albums of the ’00s: 30-21 - (USA)
30. El-P — I’ll Sleep When You’re Dead (2007) The migraine mid-point between Nine Inch Nails and the Bomb Squad. Math rap. Bombs + Nails = the sort of weapon built by suicide squads intent on creating obscene carnage. If last time, the damage was fantastic, now it’s fatal. El-P’s masterpiece is both explicit and subtle, political and apolitical — a snarling, maladjusted multi-tentacled beast capable of belting you in the stomach and picking your pocket in one foul swoop. Like all

Ego - (USA)
Back in 2003 I sat in a room in L.A. with 12 other award-winning writers listening to Tim Powers talk about the craft. I honestly think I learned more about the business of being a writer in those 7 days than I had in probably a decade of trying to sell my soul for 3c a word. We were the nineteenth class of Writers of the Future contest, and everyone in that room was more talented than me, that was my immediate thought listening to them. In terms of talent, a very quick breakdown would tell yo

Gun RIGHTS ADVOCATES…A MUST READ - (USA)
August 7th, 2009 Dear Desert Conservative Visitor, This week’s main article is much longer than our usual articles. Our own Cody Alderson happened to be just down the road when the incident occurred. Proximity to a catastrophic event makes one think, What if I was there? What if one of my loved ones were there? Journal of a Murderer is a good article. Take your time with it, and walk away with something you can use to help defend you and yours. Journal of a Murderer “…I kept

Movie Marketing Madness: Star Trek - (USA)
Download PDF: MMM-251-Star-Trek “Reboots” are all the rage in Hollywood when it comes to reviving a franchise that’s seen as either irreparable in its current state or simply too long in the tooth to be attractive to the current audience. The Incredible Hulk, Batman Begins and others have all either ignored their big-screen predecessors and tried to start the character from scratch or taken a drastically different tone than what came before. (Batman Begins is an example of the former, which

SD09: The New Invaders - (USA)
Before I get into this let me state that unequivocally San Diego Comic-Con is a fantastic experience, and despite any kvetching that follows, it’s an incredible, inspiring event and I remain amazed by the organization and efficiency with which it is run. For better or worse, Comic-Con wouldn’t be the mega media event that it has become if the infrastructure to make it so weren’t there. I think in all our suggestions and observations we forget that there is only a small crew of full time people w

Review - Command and Conquer: Red Alert 3 (PC) - (USA)
If you’re a fan of the RTS genre then this is a game for you. Remember the good old days of Red Alert 2, building truly epic armies of tesla tanks and wiping out opponents in one swift burst of electro static explosions? Welcome back. Red Alert 3 has evolved. Now with even more ways for you to annihilate your opponents. The game this time round has a real focus on naval warfare with a lot of the constructible buildings having the ability to be built on water. Some of the naval battles I ha

How I spent three days at Worldcon and never saw Neil Gaiman - (USA)
If you have ever thought “The one thing that would improve Montreal is more people in Starfleet uniforms,” you would have been mightily pleased by this year’s Worldcon. Possibly the funniest thing about the con was that it was held in a really staid part of town, at a convention centre that normally hosts business and professional conferences; I think I must have had a sign on my back that said “Normal-looking guy,” because I can’t count how many locals stopped me to ask just what the heck was g

Lisa & Teri’s Fancy Neo-Victorian Parlor Wedding - (USA)
The offbeat bride: Lisa, Office Monkey (now with grad student action!) Her offbeat partner: Teri, Grad student and Office Monkey Location & date of wedding: Harrington Mansion in Minneapolis, MN on October 3rd, 2008 What made our wedding offbeat: We came in under our 5k budget, and still got our fancy to-do. We had board games, chess and card games, and a really (really really) tough puzzle instead of dancing — since our buddies don’t dance and empty dance floors are depressing.
