Google Me
A co-worker/friend of mine is tracking himself through googlerankings.com, trying to get his site listed as the number one search on Google, Yahoo! and MSN for his name. Out of curiousity, I manually searched my full name on each of the search engines to see what my years on the internet have reaped. Google Top
COMMENT: Moon Knight Hype; WonderCon News
Joe Quesada’s hyping the new Moon Knight series, and while he’s been on point lately – at least with the examples he gives here – I have to admit to cringing a little bit whenever he goes in to spin mode in connection to anything I’m looking forward to. NRAMA: “Scribe” – If you had
LINK: The X-Men (Vs.) Sneak Preview
The boys over at Metagame have an article up with pictures of the swag available at this weekend’s preview tournament. Everyone gets a side-by-side stacker of Colossus and Wolverine doing the fastball special. Playmats, deck tins, and T-Shirts are random door prizes. The extended art Snikt! card is for top players in the tournaments. I’ve
COMMENT: Code Black
Damn you, ABC! From America’s Funniest Home Videos to Extreme Makeover: Home Edition to Desperate Housewives, ABC slowly but surely took possession of my Sunday nights last season, to the point where our entire night is now structured around watching as much of those shows as we can. We eat during AHV, bathe the kids
COMMENT: Marketing Musings
Stealing a few minutes on Bloglines during lunch, a post from The Beat caught my eye, wherein Heidi links to a list of the top selling OEL of 2005. OEL=Original English Language, aka American manga. (Check out Tania Del Rio’s great column on the terminology debate, “You Say Potato, I Say Manga“.) I’ve only read
Blog, I have forsaken thee…
Remember when I used to post every day, sometimes multiple times a day? Those were heady times, between the war and the elections and the poetry scene, etc. Nowadays, I don’t think I’m even averaging one post a week. Part of the reason is that comics have pretty much taken over the little bit of

COMMENT: JMS’ “What If…?” Concept
Dan pointed out this NEWSarama interview to me last night, with spider-scribe J. Michael Straczynski talking about an upcoming project of his called Bullet Points: …in this story, I looked to the past to find probably the one most critical moment in the history of the Marvel Universe, which was the moment when Steve Rogers
LINK: Reality Check + NYCC Update
My latest Establishing Shots just went up, and I go off on a bit of a personal, real world tangent before ripping into idiot trolls: At this point, there’s some ill-mannered idiot out there reading along wondering why I’m not writing about Spider-Man’s new costume (I give it six months), or offering yet another opinion
