War Story

I read 300 the other day. Like many comics I have mentioned lately expectations were very high. It is very good. Bottom line given the current real-world political situation I am having trouble generating a lot of enthusiasm over a war story, even a very good one.

I Can't Believe I Missed It

Even if it was my birthday I can't believe I missed the news. Sun has open-sourced Java under the GPL! Sun Announcement, Groklaw story. That is excellent.

I assumed they would "open-source" it under yet another wannabe license that would not make Linux vendors happy and generally just be a pain-in-the-neck PR move, but this is actually quite promising.

I literally can't believe it.

They Say It's My Birthday!

Cool. It is my birthday!

Comics Blog Migrated

I migrated my old comics blog here so I just made a bunch of posts, that are really info from days gone by that I didn't want to lose.

The A-List

I've read alot of comic books. I have an idea about what's good. The A-List is where the two meet. 

Under this category I intend to point out things that I like. It might be a title, a creator or an individual issue. 

The bottom line is that it's something I think is worth checking out. In this first entry we kick it off with arguably THE all-time great, Jack Kirby. A portion of the titles that Kirby co-created is a simple testament to his achievement:

Captain America  

The Fantastic Four 

The Mighty Thor 

The Incredible Hulk 

The Avengers  

The X-Men 

Machine Man 

Devil Dinosaur   

The Eternals 

The New Gods   

Mister Miracle 

The Forever People 

Kamandi... 

That list is of course incomplete and it only hints at all the other characters and things he created/co-created along the way like Galactus and the Negative Zone. Not to mention all the subsequent greats like Steve Rude and Walt Simonson that he influenced.

 

Looking Good...

I mentioned this in a previous post:


It looks cool.

JR JR. and Gaiman on Eternals

JR JR. Interview Could be cool.
