We’ve discussed Celtx before. Beyond it being free and open-source, it really is an incredible tool. The mere fact that it makes collaboration between [...] -

Hey all– it’s Chris, your always absent author. Joel’s been doing a kick-ass job with the site, putting up some great links (did you check this out?) and some great posts (sorry Canada). But while he’s been here keeping things clean, I’ve been out in the field playing with toys. One toy in particular [...] -
Marvel Digital is Stupid
Posted on 14-Nov-07. Filed in Breaking News, General, Rant, Silly. Comments (1)
Marvel is offering its archives online for $9.99/month, or $58.99 a year. Sounds great, doesn’t it? Well… “Marvel Digital Comics Unlimited products will be viewable only in a Web browser and not downloadable.” Well, that’s a drag. But at least I can check out the comics I plan to purchase online first, and then go pick them up at [...] -
New Zine Library at Ontario College of Art and Design
Posted on 13-Nov-07. Filed in General, News. Comments (0)
via boingboing OCAD has a new ‘zine library opening up, which, I have to say, is awesome. I wonder if I can send them copies of my two-issue ‘zine, the NS Business Learn-all. See, the company I was working for at the time published the Nova Scotia Business Journal, and I, just to annoy the editor, decided [...] -

Tekzilla Review — Is Rev3’s New Show As BIG As Promised?
Posted on 28-Sep-07. Filed in News, Video. Comments (0)
No, not really. First off, there’s nothing especially wrong with the show. It’s just not very impressive. It’s disappointing, really. If you’re a Revision3 fan you’ve already seen the ads for it. Promised to be “BIG,” the show instead feels utterly small, simple, and nothing we haven’t seen before. -
