Kieron Gillen's notes on Young Avengers »
Spoilers are in the link, but it’s worth linking to anyway.
Kieron has been posting writer’s notes for his books (Iron Man, Young Avengers, I’m sure he’ll do Uber) and they’re great to see way behind the curtain of certain decisions and choices.
I’ve been absorbing as much as I can about structure, beats, rhythms, and other bits when it comics lately and these notes are just freaking fascinating.
I can’t believe I read Young Avengers. #noshame
All of the Comics. All of them.
Things I’m planning and/or actively working on in 2013/2014

I just needed to get the list out of my head
“I realized that I needed to get myself out of the way first, then, hopefully, the rest will follow.”
Mihoko Ogaki’s sculpture installations are a poetic interpretation of Carl Sagan’s assertion that we’re all made of star stuff. She sculpts dead and dying figures that beam pinpoints of light from the inside, turning them into the origins of glorious galaxies at the moment of death.
Ogaki’s work often reflects a fascination with both the beginning and the end of human life, portraying it in ways that attract our fascination with moments in human development we sometimes push from our consciousness. Her dying figures are sometimes distressing and sometimes meditative, but when you turn off the lights, the LEDs surround the viewer with a brilliant reminder that so much exists in the universe beyond that single human life.

Space tourist Dennis Tito plans first human Mars mission for 2018; funding is uncertain »
Who gives two craps if ‘funding is uncertain.’ The fact that this cat wants to make this happen is just awesome.
Vowing to inspire “all Americans,” the world’s first space tourist, Dennis Tito, is set to announce a plan Wednesday for a “high risk” human mission to Mars. It would launch, by necessity of orbital mechanics, in January 2018. […]
Only celestial harmony makes such a plan feasible: A once-every-15-years alignment of Earth and Mars. With the two planets’ orbits pinching as close as they ever do, a so-called low-energy trajectory could shoot a modest craft to Mars and back with minimal fuel.
