    Thanks so much for covering their event! We had a great time at the competition (8AM in Long Island) and they did a great job. It’s the first time PS 217 has competed in Odyssey of the Mind.

    Now we invite you to come see “The Odyssey” at PS 217 on Newkirk Avenue on Saturday, March 20th.

    • 20 Future Trends For The Comic Industry July 30, 2010
      The following 20 future trends for the comic industry (and fandom) is scheduled roughly for the next two years -- by 2012. They are based on a combination of market research and intuitive insight. My track record for previous predictions is quite good, as I have successfully predicted things like the DC restructuring and Disney buying up Marvel a couple of y […]

    • The Paradigm July 29, 2010
      I think I'd just address one more thing, while I'm getting stuff off my chest.I still love comics. But the old mainstream paradigm, for the most part, doesn't work for me anymore. It has been, to a degree, toxic to the women who tried (and continue to try) to love it. Not so much now, in this present generation -- but definitely in the last ge […]
    • Cool and Chilled Soup Links July 29, 2010
       Quick Chilled Cantaloupe Soup by Aimée Wimbush-Bourque -- Featured on Simple Bites Chilled soups in the summer are a delicious treat. They are refreshing and flavorful and oh, so easy to make.  Although I love a classic warm soup, the rising temps are keeping me far away from my beloved soup pot, but that's OK! Especially since my blender has been serv […]

    • On the rats = geese = rats...issue July 29, 2010
      The other day, Liena from Ditmas Park Blog was nice enough to post my entry about geese returning to Prospect park - filling a vacuum, as it were. The comments have been educational, revealing, and sometimes horrific. There are a couple of people who equate geese with rats as far as being a pest. I object. Even though I did refer to the geese's nazi-lik […]
