New “Siege” Teaser
Marvel has released another new Spiderman-centric teaser image for their upcoming “Siege” event. Considering all of the crap Peter Parker has been put through by Norman Osborn, maybe he’ll finally do what he should have done years ago and put Norman down once and for all.
I know Spiderman isn’t a killer, but how many friends, family and girlfriends has Peter lost to Norman. He should kill him, or at least have it seem like he did, and have to deal with what comes with that. It’s only logical at this point in the Spiderman mythos.

Yeah, but it was also logical to let Aunt May die and not do a deal with the devil. I can’t say I rooting for Pete to off Norman, actually I’m against it; but they’re gonna do what they want to do. Whether the fans like or not, and whether it’s in-character or not.

I think that we are necessarily moving toward a geek culture. The health of our society is going to rely on information technology. It’s going to rely on a familiarity with math and science and technology. Geekery in general is founded on questioning and proof via analysis of the actual world and not the world as we wish it to be. By contrast, jockdom — not sports — jock culture proceeds from a certainty you create in your mind: ‘My town is the best because the incredibly wealthy owners decided to keep the team for now.’ Or, ‘My political team is the best because it was my dad’s and they best stoke my primitive fears,’ as opposed to ‘They have the best policies for me and my family.’

Jockdom is very noble. It’s not deliberative. It’s certainly the best way to win wars. It’s the best way to motivate teams of people to fulfill a goal — not just war, but getting things done. The most important way to motivate a factory floor. But as you know, we’re not as much of a manufacturing society as we were before. China and other big industrial nations are rewarding their nerds and technicians rather than creating a culture that makes fun of them — it would be wise for us to embrace the book-smart as much as our culture has traditionally embraced the street-smart, the jock-smart. I’m not saying nerds must have their revenge; I’m just saying the time for wedgies is at an end.

New “Siege” teaser

Looks like Wolverine will finally unmask his annoying brat of a son and let the world know that he’s the “real” Wolverine.

Oh snap! Logan watch out for that Murasma claw.

Wolverine vs. Hulk - Motion Comics

not crazy about motion comics, but this is probably the best I’ve seen, probably because it more animated. Motion comics just feel like a horseless carriage; either it’s a comic or it’s animation.

Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photos, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic. Authenticity is invaluable; originality is non-existent. And don’t bother concealing your thievery—celebrate it if you feel like it. In any case, always remember what Jean-Luc Godard said: ‘It’s not where you take things from—it’s where you take them to.

Finding and Losing Purpose

I often wake up with some sense of purpose and drive. At the least, I feel like I have to come up with something to try to redeem all the time I pissed away on yesterday. And I usually come up with something that if accomplished would count for a productive day. But by the time I make it to the office, I’m like, “Now what did I get up to do today?” I’m thinking this while sifting through my infinite inboxes (email, RSS feeds, Tumblr dashboards, favorite websites) like I’m gonna find the rewarding feeling of accomplishment and relief that all the stuff I really want to get done is done.

You’d think it would be a simple as writing it down, but sometimes the clarity of purpose feels lost as soon as I pick up a pen. And I just want to get on with the day, get some notches on my belt. So I don’t take the time to clear out the mental cruft and be definite. And so I usually meander the whole day.

But no more. I can’t do all the huge, nebulous projects before me right now, but I can take one step to complete one step right now. I can’t break all my bad habits all at once, but I can restrain for one day or for one hour or for one minute. I choose to believe that I can continue moving in the direction of the real me, the me I want to be, one step at a time.
