mccloudtour: Scott McCloud has posted the promised chapter 5 1/2 of 'Making Comics'. "A short online extension to Making Comics' fifth chapter, covering some of the issues associated with creating color art and panel layouts for screen display. "
I would recommend this to anyone interested in web comics. Food for thought. Of course I've been aware that by scanning pages and posting them 1:1, I'm not exactly using the medium to its full potential. Posting online offers many possibilities, of which hypertext is just one... at the moment I'm quite happy to keep doing what I do, work in print format basically and use the net to find a ready audience... but it's something to keep in mind for future projects *ponders*
One advantage of having this chapter published online - he links directly to examples. To my shame I must admit I never really looked into web comics, and after following some of the links, I must say I've missed out.
Take a look at this: "Pup" Ponders the Heat Death of the Universe by Drew Weing... surreal and beautiful. Also, quite large - the whole strip consists of one giant panel so if you have a lo-speed connection, be prepared for a long time to load (it's worth the wait).
Also looking interesting: Nowhere Girl by Justine Shaw. I haven't read it yet, but the artwork looks fantastic. I'm torn between turning green with envy and being inspired. Choosing the latter.*** In other news, I went running today and yesterday, wearing a t-shirt. To my right, birds singing. To my left, daisies and dandelions blossoming. Well, better than last week's perma-rain, I guess.*** via ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
yhlee: A Timothy Takemoto argues why Japanese would make a good international language. I believe he's not kidding and the funney is entirely unintentional.
Probably even funny if you aren't currently trying to hammer over 1900 Kanji into your head. I'm still voting for Klingon instead.

I did love "The Physics of Star Trek" by Lawrence Kraus. There, it is possible to explain this subject matter without confusing your audience or putting them to sleep. If only my physics teacher had know how to do that.
