dhole @ : The wonders of Wikipedia.
"Foom appears in the limited series Nextwave as a pawn of the Beyond Corporation©. He is now back to his original size. Despite having no genitals, he wears purple pants." From the talk page to the same article: "This article falls within the scope of WikiProject Buddhism, an attempt to promote better coordination, content distribution, and cross-referencing between pages dealing with Buddhism. Please participate by editing the article Fin Fang Foom, or visit the project page for more details on the projects." 15th May 2012

filkertom @ : My Complete Lack Of Interest In BEFORE WATCHMEN Is Justified
At least Len, JMS, and the Kuberts are getting paychecks. This entry was originally posted at http://filkertom.dreamwidth.org/1519697.h
dhole @ : The danger of writing for anthologies.
Then I wrote one, of course. Unfortunately, I wrote a thousand word story, and the call for submission had 2500 words as the lower limit. So, I added bits and pieces, and came up with something. Which got rejected, and fair enough. Unfortunately, I'm left with a Zombie Kong story; in theory, I could keep shopping it around, and maybe get someone who hadn't heard of the anthology (which is most people, I assume--no offense intended to the publisher and editor, but this is not exactly a heavily promoted offering from a major press.) to buy my story. But, honestly, Zombie Kong is this other guy's idea, and I'm not sure that I want to try and sell a story whose selling point is someone else's idea. Also, it's a thousand words long, so there's really not a whole lot of money on the table here. So, here you all go: ( Legend of Screen and Stage )

kmelion @ :
You're supposed to rock your hips either side to side or front to back, NOT circle your hips, which is what we'd been doing. I tried it out and definitely saw better results... I mean we're talking keeping it going for 10 seconds rather than having it drop immediately or after a couple seconds. Slowly but surely... I figure in a couple weeks I can actually get through a song or two... 13th May 2012

filkertom @ : Printing A Computer From Another Computer
What's your favorite site for stuff like this? I'm just starting to poke around into it, and Thingiverse is very cool but it can't be the only one. This entry was originally posted at http://filkertom.dreamwidth.org/1518375.h
kmelion @ : On the bandwagon... sort of
Now from all that I've read, and speaking with the instructor who sold me my hoop, the recommendation is the larger size hoops for beginners. And now I have to ask WHY????? I can't keep the hoop going! I give it a twirl, start moving my hips and down it goes. I've decided to blog about it in an effort to not get discouraged and stop doing it. And here I was, expecting to be able to troll Youtube for music videos and hooping videos to hoop to. Instead I need to build up my expertise to be able to keep the hoop going after I let go. 12th May 2012

filkertom @ : Cakewalk Sonar X1 at a Really Great Price This Month
If you're interested, that very same LE Starter Kit is on sale for $19.99 for the next two weeks. Also on sale is the upgrade from that to Sonar X1 Studio, only $79.99. (Just leapfrog Essential, the version between LE and Studio; the power/utility difference isn't worth the savings. The Producer edition has a few nice tools and extra instruments, but I don't really think they're worth the extra few hundred bucks for our level of sound work. On the other hand, even just the LE edition is amazing, and Studio includes some excellent tools and instruments and lets you use 64-bit plugins.) Any other great, cheap software we need to know about? This entry was originally posted at http://filkertom.dreamwidth.org/1517313.h
dhole @ : I don't really consider myself an expert, but.
This bit stood out, for me: For the past four years, the crisis has culled incumbents without discrimination, from the Republican George Bush and conservative Nicolas Sarkozy to Labour's Gordon Brown and the Spanish Socialist José Luis Zapatero, while the far right has advanced across Europe by preying on anti-migrant insecurities and posing as anti-establishment outsiders. I realize that not everyone pays that much attentions to foreign elections, and that the US is quite a long ways away from Britain. I also realize that quite a lot has happened since the most recent American elections, and it's unfair of me to expect the details of these transatlantic affairs to stick in people's memories for so long. And yet, even though it would have interfered with the balance and flow of that paragraph, I cannot help but feel that the author should have noted that George Bush's failure to continue as president after 2008 was not solely because of the state of the economy.

filkertom @ : Farewell, Maurice Sendak
Sendak's work is like a cross between that of Dr. Seuss and Edward Gorey: whimsical, detailed, unnerving, scary, and most of all engaging. I am shamed to say I am not as familiar with it as I should be, but WTWTA is fortunately damn near universal. (And, as an aside, you can get the fairly well received movie on DVD at Target on their five-buck-movies-for-kids endcap.) Farewell, sir, and thank you.
