I see that Google now offers downloads of some out of copywrite book on its Book Search. I think that this is great and all but is this really better that Geutenberg project. The 2 PDFs that I download from Google were literal scans to PDF, pictures of the book itself. Not very flexible to put on a book Reader.
Comic for Aug 30th
Finally after all this planning I have something up! It is a start and I see that I still need some work on lettering and speechballoons, but I am excited to see where all this takes me, us, everyone.
Posting comics will be spotty at first but I plan on making this a daily thing, So […]
68 Corvette finds it’s way back home.
This is an amazing story…Guy buys Vette, looses Vette, and gets it back 37 years later.
Fat Superheroes need Love too!
Recently Scott Johnson started a Fat Superheroes Pool on Flickr, and there are some good ones on there. I made aFat Spiderman and uploaded it, check it out.
Windows..Sound Off!
You have got to be kidding me. Microsoft wont allow us to turn off the Start Up sound..or Configure it?
Forget that.
Speechballoons
I found this via Digg.com…the Evolution of Speechballoons.
How appropriate since I am getting my own comic together.
Mass., Microsoft Office, and ODF
Looks like Mass. is going to use the ODF plugin on MS Office instead of moving to OpenOffice all together as ZDNet Reports.
Is this good? I think so. I don’t have a problem with anyone using Microsoft Office, I do have a problem with requiring people to use Microsoft Office to view public documents or do business with your customers. This has been an MS problem for a long time, locking customers in with propritary formats. This should force them to compete on features, which Office is good at.
I think the Empire is behind this!
SurgeTV, what tha…
This is the stupidest thing I think that I have read in a long time. First G4 takes over TechTV to become G4TechTV then just G4 again…and now we have the SciFi Channel changing the name to what sounds like a Cola? AND adding wrestling? What the Heck is going on!
Maybe I am just getting older…I don’t know.
SCI FI Channel to Change Name to SurgeTV
Effective
November 1, 2006, the SCI FI Channel will change their name to SurgeTV,
to reflect the changing demographic thrust of the successful
long-running cable channel. In addition, deals are currently working
out to bring back ECW for a three-times a week run in prime time, as
well as reruns (Pre-WWE) of professional wrestling events.
Update: Ok, I am an idiot…Looks like I was taken in. Apparently this is a prank…I went looking for an official notice on their site but didn’t find one, and now I see others questioning it. Guess I should have looked before I pulled the trigger on my blog! Bleh.
Nothing like Fat Superheroes!
Scott Johnson from MyExtraLife started a Group Photo Pool at Flickr for pics and drawings of Fat Superheroes.
There are a few good items in there already…
