DC Comics and The Success of the Dark Knight concert, Let's Get Real A quick show of hands. How many managed to see The Dark Knight? Not too long ago a seeming run-away movie based on comic material would be thought of as an opportunity for the general public to discover.e source material of the comics themselves. The thinking was that John Q. Public would be so enthralled by the exploits of Spider-Man, Batman and other cinematic translations of superheroes that there would be a run on comic shops for material featuring the superhero.

Dr. Dog: Fate The new album from Dr. Dog, Fate, hit store shelves this week.

The Main Stream Media (MSM) is Trying Really Hard To Commit Suicide I can't really think of any other explaination for what happened at CBS. Apparently, McCain pulled a blooper during a CBS news interview by mixing up his timelines around 'The Surge' .in Iraq which is actually a big story in itself (since he seems to be basing all his credibility on it) but the real story, for me, was how CBS, effectively, covered up the mistake. Thank god for MSNBC madman (corporate newsroom speak for 'TruthSayer') Keith Oberman. He took the original footage, and the modified. Tickets.

Filter Pssst is back! Filter tour tickets, Once upon a time, every issue of Filter magazine contained a sampler cd of new music. Those cds were awesome - they introduced me to bands such as Silversun Pickups, Youth Group, Team Sleep, La Rocca, The Sword.I could go on and on. They stopped producing those cds awhile back ago.

Tweaking the Image Uploader For fun I went trolling through the images people have uploaded via the YUI Uploader implementation I wrote a while ago. When it took my browser a solid 30 seconds to even be remotely responsive and start rendering images it struck me that perhaps it was time to paginate the images instead of just dumping them all out onto one page. So I added pagination. It's currently super simple which makes for easy explanation. The PHP still collects and sorts every single image in the directory by date. , Tickets for Filter.
