I have just discovered, via applegeeks, that some girls are bigger than.... wait, no, a new site for me to check and giggle at everyday - bunny. Go there, be amused, be very amused. It has to be one of the best daily update art sites (it's not really a comic, is it? so what is it exactly?) I've seen since the otter side stopped updating - although ( Read more... )

Until this gig I had never heard of the term Jazz Bop, but hearing Bobby Blackbird and the Blue Jays (who are a great local line-up doing the jazz bop thing, at least as close as I can tell) and then ( Read more... )

For me, as a historian of media, newspapers in particular, the future-history of news and media, the way that we get access to, understand and construct our world is fascinating. The power of the media too absorbs and worries me. The narrative of Epic 2014 ( Read more... )
