Sequential Tart
"I had the great privilege of interviewing Grant Morrison way back during Tart's first year of existence. The result, while interesting, wasn't the definitive Grant Morrison interview I wanted for our publication (mostly due to my inexperience as an interviewer back then). I waited three years to pose the possibility of an extended interview with the man. In that time, I thought hard about every question I ever wanted to ask the author about his writing. I realized that I didn't want to ask him about specific pieces of his work (which speak for themselves, by and large), as much as I wanted to ask him questions concerning the craft of writing, the influence of other art forms on his work, how and why his work keeps evolving and changing every few years, and so forth."

Once More With Rampage!!
An interesting looking blog by another geek. Looks like a nice mix of news and opinion. I'll have to check the link on Warren Ellis and the Global Frequency series.
Once More With Rampage!!
Edit: Checked out the Global Frequency site and was left overwhelmingly unimpressed by it. I am sure that it will be an ok program, but the site was just boring and, well.... boring.

Acting in the office of a parrot
Just reasons to dislike John Byrne, outside of the usual of course...
Acting in the office of a parrot
"I remembered that this wasn't the first time Byrne had to retract a public statement (later proved to be false) about a fellow professional. When Fantagraphics recently asked people to place orders with them in order to help them with their financial troubles, I made an order which included a few back issues of The Comics Journal, which always make for interesting reading. One of those issues (#82) featured an apology written by Byrne in which he retracted some statements he made about Roy Thomas at a convention panel. Like the Larsen apology, however, the phrasing of the apology left something to be desired, as you will see below."

Please save my mother
Please save my mother
A kitten watches fire Capt. Levy Davis try to revive its mother at a house fire in In Bowling Green, Ky. The oxygen did the trick, and both cats, along with a third, were taken to the Humane Society.

Cunning Folk
Just a little something interesting to throw out for folks, something to put a little flavor into their Fantasy games. Particularly useful for Fantasy Fudge GMs and Players, using the Hedge Magic "rules" for 5-point Fudge.

Killer In The Phone
"A NIGERIAN mobile telephone firm has sought to quash a widespread rumour that users answering calls from two "killer numbers" had been struck dead on the spot."

Hatebeak
No, seriously....
Parrot Lead Death Metal Band
"Face-crushing guitars, head-pounding drums, bass so low you'll vacate your bowels, and vocals so scorching, so extreme they simply can't be human! They're not. This death metal outfit with a parrot for a singer makes trashes the pathetic birdfeeder you call the metal underground!
"That's correct, a parrot for a singer, savaging you with feathers of razored steel! This is not Jimmy Buffet's parrot - be warned! Try as one might, they will not escape the claw; nothing can dodge the talons of hate!! These three songs are an ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY beak in the ass of all things sacred in the underground. The holiest shrines of metal and hardcore seriousness are duly trashed, burned, laid to waste, smeared in Avian excrement. The pecking order has been established! For the last time, it really is a parrot, not the loser from Six Feet Under.
Groundbreaking, nest-crushing, egg-shattering! You can run, but you can't fly."
