Comics Online – Improving

Via Slashdot. Hm, maybe someone at Marvel Comics is reading my blog? About a year and a half ago, I made a suggestion of a $10 monthly charge to read any number of older comics online. Now Marvel comics is doing just that. I'm not claiming my suggestion was original or revolutionary, it's just good to see the comic book companies finally starting to get a clue.

I took a look at a sample issue and the quality is pretty good on my 19" monitor. Who cares about the fancy page transitions, though? They use Adobe Flash 9, of course.

I hope DC follows suit because I bet some of those really old issues are impossible to find through any other means.

More Kick-Ass TV: Journeyman

Once again, NBC's Journeyman is proving itself to be a solid science-fiction serial drama, overshadowing its sophomore lead-in Heroes. The stakes have been escalating over the past few weeks, and last night's episode was probably my favorite so far. Last night was the first time I felt really bad for Livia, too.

Heroes? Blah. Journeyman? Yeah!

So far not one of the plot lines on NBC's Heroes has intrigued me. But Journeyman looks good so far. Read the rest of this entry ...

Chad Vader: YouTube Diversion For Today

I found Chad Vader last night and finished watching the series this morning. This is not your typical YouTube video, the production value is pretty high. Apparently they are compiling the series onto a DVD while planning for "Season 2". Each video is about 5 minutes long. Here are the links in recommended watching order:

Chad Vader Season 1

Chad Vader Video Blogs

Chad Vader Music Video

I like how the last episode of Season 1 and the video blogs set up the major plots for Season 2. I'm looking forward to it! 🙂

iPod Nano Gets Feisty

My wife was watching TV in the other room and suddenly I heard Feist's 1 2 3 4 (that I wrote about only a couple weeks ago). We saw Apple's new commercial twice tonight for the colourful iPod nano. Looks like much bigger exposure for Feist.

For me, I'm still holding out on buying an Apple product - it's not a boycott, it's just that I already have a free mobile phone and a cheap DAP. We'll see how the iPodTouch fares - that might be what I need (an audio player that lets me browse the web over WiFi). Some may claim that it makes more sense to spring for the iPhone because the iPhone is only $100 more - but it's the 2-year AT&T chokehold that I dislike...
