52 DC Title Breakdown
DC The New 52
Alright as promised I am finally getting to the relaunch break down. As you might recall from my last post on the DC relaunch it was just announced and not a whole lot was revealed and i was doing more complaining and speculating. Now that all the official #1s have been revealed I can break them down through my view point. I’ve been doing a lot of forum reading, checking dccomics.com everyday, and keeping up to date thanks to twitter. I’ve been gathering as much information so that I can properly gauge and prepare myself for what is about to happen.
For those of you that don’t know, here are all the titles I’m about to
RIP Dwayne McDuffie
Dwayne Mcduffie
These past few days I have been ranting about how excited I was to watch the new All Star Superman movie and in doing so was more than happy to mention the man who wrote the script for the movie, Dwayne McDuffie. I have enjoyed his comics and cartoons/movies (even before I knew he was involved in making them), and wanted to give proper credit and explanation for why his work is so good. I have never been very good at writing stuff like that (always more technically minded, sorry)… I was going to ask my buddy/cousin Jeremy to write something to put on here to better explain why McDuffie is such a great asset to the Comic

OK so today I was showing off my new mobile theme on my iPhone while at work. My buddy Bran was checking out the icon I made (with a little help from GIMP and the logo Bran had made for my website — thanks again man) and he made a great suggestion… why not use use the icon for my favicon on my main website?
So I did…

Logitech Mouse
4yr old Logitech mouse (by Alex)
So I was looking for a book that I needed for a class (an old APA Manual) and came across my old (about 4 years old) Logitech Wireless Mouse. I do all of my school work upstairs in my “office” on my 17″ Acer laptop (running Ubuntu of course).
