CREATURES card game on Kickstarter

Looks like a really fun and cute card game, especially if you have kids (although, I'd play it even if I didn't). I like to look around Kickstarter.com and saw this for the first time today. I'm on the edge… will probably back the project with at least enough to get the card game when it comes out! 😉

CREATURES – the card game.
A creative, strategic, 'survival of the fittest' card game where players battle it out with wildly unique creatures of their creation.

[Occupy Wall Street]

Silence is Golden (to the 1%)

My number one kudos to Occupy Wall Street is that people are waking up and speaking out! To everyone in the 99%, if you have not already, don't just ignore what's going on. Find your voice. Those that have spoken so far are only the tip of the iceberg.

Please share and add your voice!

Remember, we're all in this together folks!

With so many disappointing images and videos out there of NYPD going after Wall Street occupiers, it's nice to see one like this. Setting factions against each other is one of the strong-suits of the 1%. Not this photo. Not this time.

Thanks +Cyrille Marceau and +Matthieu ETIENNE for sharing. The irony that I first saw this photo in a non-English post does not escape me. 😉

India's $35 tablet computer…

I heard a blurb about this on NPR this morning. Intrigued. The prices we pay for tablets and smart phones are, IMHO, ridiculous.

Zombies! Zombies! Zombies! book edited by Otto Penzler

A quote from the article: But despite its rather uncomplicated title, "Zombies! Zombies! Zombies!" actually presents a more nuanced portrayal of death brought to life – one to which Gen Xers, Gen Yers and others probably haven't been previously exposed. Not every zombie out there wants to eat your brains, kid.

Question to Writers / Illustrators

How does the writer / illustrator partnership work? Does a writer write and then hire an illustrator? Does a publishing house put the two together? If a writer writes a story needing illustration, but does not have a publisher, how does that work; i.e., without an outlet for the work guaranteeing any sales or advance? Is self publishing an option, and then, how does the partnership work?

I was going to hit up Google, but thought, perhaps, with the number of writers and illustrators here, some of you might have comments…

[On the Tubez…]

Rhett & Link are fantastic even at the worst of times. But this concept is pure genius!

I needn't say more, as they explain at the beginning. While the original script isn't exactly inspired, or even particularly interesting, the caption translations are where the gold lies!

What's awesome, too, is that they clearly wrote the script with the intent of challenging the transcription. To see how well it would manage. And, well, there's a reason FAIL is in the title of this video…

Enjoy!
