Link of the Day [12.03.08]

My cousin, Bob, has gone car free. He's riding a bike. That's the way
to commute. Who needs the hassle of owning a car? Who wants to save
money? Be more healthy? Fossile fuels are for sucks.Someone in Hawaii is pushing for electric cars. That's an even crazier
idea. He should be pushing for more bikes. I can't imagine a more
perfect place for a cycle culture. Sunny and warm every day. The
islands are pretty small: you can take a bus around Oahu, so the
distances are not very far. You can always hop off and go for a swim if
you're sweating too much. A more casual attitude. Frick. That's
pretty awesome now that I come to think about it.Hmm. This link of the day post went off on a tangent. I guess it
happens when you're scrambling for posts in the morning over coffee.http://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/03/technology/start-ups/03hawaii.html?par

I don’t know about this site, but for any Star Wars geek, it’s URL is one that provides sheer pleasure. I’m actually smiling. Or if I was a dead stormtrooper, then I would be frozen in rigor mortis, not smiling, but with a funky smirk on the face. Now where did I put that blaster of mine.

Link of the Day [11.30.08]

Went to the big Thanksgiving sale at my local comic shop. Picked up both hardcover volumes of Osamu Tezuka’s Black Jack at two for the price of one. I don’t know about Tezuka. He’s the godfather of Japanese manga, but his stories, especially the releases from Vertical, are pretty gruesome. The have cute characters, but then they feature gore. It’s like a rated R cartoon with cute Disney characters. Disturbing.
