Coffee, the magical bean that allows millions of Americans to become junkies. Caffeinated, and 50 years ago, brimming with nicotine, there has been a surge of people drinking coffee due to the popularity of places like Starbucks and Seattle's Best(now owned by Starbucks). The area in Seattle is so cut throat where now the servers are wearing bikinis to pump up business.

Paris is exposed… again. This time she forgot to pay a bill when she moved houses. All that stuff that no one would think to save. She did. She saved it all. Then lost all the items from the storage shed for a little under three grand which was then sold for 50 grand.
LOS ANGELES -
Paris Hilton filed a federal lawsuit Monday, seeking to shut down a Web site that displays personal photos, videos, diaries, and other belongings once kept at a storage facility.The Web site was launched last week claiming the items were auctioned off after Hilton neglected to pay the Los Angeles-area storage facility. It also promises visitors who pay a fee of $39.97 access to Hilton's passport, medical records and other legal documents.
Link to the site. But just a warning, not safe for reality

Meet Susan Kare. Tom, Dick, Harry, you or me wouldn't know her from the next person walking down the street. But to our fathers who only interaction to a computer is solitaire, she is an icon. She is a mother of their only knowledge of the computer.
She's the graphic designer of the game.

Has finally gotten his site up and running. After what felt like a year with Batman stalking a window. We are now treated to the wholesome goodness of John Paul Leon's own website.
Now only if the Wintermen came out on a monthly basis.

For those who never pay attention to the credits at the end of animated movies, good ones at least, the name Ronnie Del Carmen may mean nothing to you. For those other people are who do look around, those with to much time on their hands, Ronnie is a guy who works a lot in story boarding and character design for several animation firms, mainly calling Pixar his home for now, but has also worked for Warner Brothers, and did character designs for one of my favorite films the Iron Giant.
Ronnie has a blog and it filled with sweet, sweet imagery.

In an odd twist of time, I've heard similar words mentioned in the fifties from a psychologist who read way to far into comicbooks and what they were "reportedly" doing to children across the country.
"They poison the mind and corrupt the morals of the young, who waste their time sitting on sofas immersed in dangerous fantasy worlds."
I can only give thanks to Paul Pope, who caught this in the an issue of the Economist.

Almost the coolest thing you can purchase right now. A USB Hub of thh Tardis from Dr. Who. It does everything that the Tardis on the show does, except fade from time and space to other places in the multiverse(OK, it doesn't do that anymore, save twice with the newest Doctor).

Sometimes boards get reflective.
In this thread, the Bendisboard takes a look inward.
What do they find?
This place is pretty great, really. Really creepy, but great. I've been here since the Image boards and wouldn't change it for the world (except maybe to dial down the creepiness).
There are also references to "The Incident"... after which it seems the creepiness dialed down a notch. What was The Incident? There seems to be a gag order of some kind in effect...
I honestly think the statute of limitations on The Incident should be up, but It's not my decision.Other than to say it was crazy, crazy, crazy. I mean damn.
Scientists speculate that The Incident might have involved some kind of space-time inversion, but lab results have been inconclusive.

Spiderman really never wore a mask. He used a specially made hoodie.

The Crumbs, Robert and Aline, are profiled in the New York Times in an interesting article about their lives at present. How they live in France, their relationship, what Aline and Robert are both working on at present.
Robert has been an influence to comics since the '60's, and his popularity was given even more strength through the documentary in the early nineties about him and his family.
For those of you that don't know Crumb, either one, you should be shamed.

Wizard, come on now... what the hell?
Diamond Select plays both sides with its new 'Civil War' busts...Captain America vs. Iron Man, liberty vs. security, military vs. industrial…what a complex issue. These gentlemen are so furious for a fight their crotches are exploding, and the explosions say “Civil War.” You’ll sympathize with the feeling as the ship date on these busts based on Marvel’s blockbuster Civil War event grows closer and closer and you begin exploding with excitement. These Diamond Select releases are sculpted by Dig Deep Entertainment, who show that compromise is always possible. Prove them right by buying both pieces. Hey, gang—how long till we get “Whose side are you on?” bookends?
"These gentlemen are so furious for a fight their crotches are exploding, and the explosions say 'Civil War.'"?
Seriously?

We've mentioned this right. Paul Pope, the guy behind Batman:100, 100% and Heavy Liquid to name a few has a blog. A glorious blog at that.

There was a time when Harvey Dent, also known as Two Face would have taken this pretender out back, flipped his coin and shot the the pretender in the hear twice. Instead, he's taking this pretender to court for copyright infringement.
"This is a moral outrage in this time when someone can try and steal your thing. I am TWO-FACE. I was here since the forties, and copyright forbid will be here until there is no one else here. Now this pretender has copied me. I am seeking for restitution on behalf of myself," said Dent at a press conference earlier today.
"Yeah!" was the response from Dent's other half, Dent.
When the pretender was reached for comment, all what was said was "Mooo!"

Newsaramians argue over the implications.
could anything be more emblematic of everything thats wrong with Marvel under Quesada than this?
Possibly...
I think it's funny the way people always blame Joe Q. instead of blaming the author, Warren Ellis in this case. It's more easy that way, huh?
But wait...
didnt paul jenkins write the front line series this has all happened in?

It seems that the latest issue of Spider-man(536), is a thinly veiled criticism of the Bush Administration's War on Terror. Or at leas the Examiner points out to the world of the interweb.
