Otters
I just came across a great reason for being proud of being made a member of the Happy Otter Clan™, in this quote by Neil Gaiman from an article in Time magazine:
Except the trouble is, as a creator…I saw a lovely analogy recently. Somebody said that writers are like otters. And otters are really hard to train. Dolphins are easy to train. They do a trick, you give them a fish, they do the trick again, you give them a fish. They will keep doing that trick until the end of time. Otters, if they do a trick and you give them a fish, the next time they’ll do a better trick or a different trick because they’d already done that one. And writers tend to be otters. Most of us get pretty bored doing the same trick. We’ve done it, so let’s do something different.

Codex Seraphinianus
An interesting tale, and a site about and amazingly beautiful book that documents a world that simply doesn’t exist. I have to say, I really, really, really want one.

Tales of the Odd, Issue 3
Well, it’s now officially available for pre-order! Yes, you too can own the beautiful cover art I created, attached to a wonderful comic book written by my friend, Ron "AAlgar" Watt. As AAl puts it:
This is it— the end of the backstory and the beginning of the… er… front story.
Penny Lawson’s life never turned out exactly the way she’d hoped. A chance encounter with a supervillain ruins her budding career in journalism before it has a chance to even begin. Since then, she’s managed to barely eke out an existence, working a thankless retail job, living uncomfortably with her ex-boyfriend, and attempting to slow the loss of her sanity by playing with "Secret War Surplus" gadgets. Now, finally, at age 30, her luck is about to change.
Also, more stuff happens with that Canopenerman guy.
Go, now, and consume!

Celluloid
Film speeds
Through the camera
Flicker flash
The light imprints
Scenes of life
Real or imagined
Burned into silver
Spun into gold
Light returns
Back to life
Reflected in faces
On the edge of their seats
