Friday LinkFrogging – 4/15/11

Greetings from the Land of 'Geek kids. Today would normally be Tax Day, but since Washington, D.C. is closed down for Emancipation Day (?) you've got until Monday to "render unto Caesar." Until then, why don't you let us take your mind off all that with some links and cheesecake. This week's selection is the …

Summer Movies 2011

Every year about this time, we start to get more and more visuals about the upcoming summer movie season. I love summer movie season.  I don't have to think or worry about Oscar consideration.  I can just sit back, eat my popcorn, laugh and watch stuff blow up. And, really, isn't that what you want …

Sketch of the Day: Moon Knight

I've always had a soft spot in my heart for Marvel's 'Batman'.  One of the first books I read regularly.  At one time I had everything he'd been in from 'Werewolf by Night' to the 'Hulk' magazines and up through his second title.   Who doesn't love an Egyptian God's  schitzo-billionaire agent of vengeance.   In fact, …

Stan Lee Draws…?

I stumbled upon this book at the local library earlier today. I was a bit surprised. Stan Lee is known for writing/creating most of the characters associated with Marvel Comics. From the Fantastic Four to the X-Men they all sprang from the fertile frontal lobe of Stan the Man. But drawing? That really wasn't Stan's …

Friday LinkFrogging – 7/9/10

   ENOUGH! Just enough.   I hope Lebron James enjoys Miami.  I hope Miami enjoys Lebron James.  But the gratuitous blowjob the national sports media has given and continues to give this story is beyond ridiculous.  I'm looking at you ESPN.   Professional sports aren't about loyalty anymore.  Let's just forget about that.  They are about money, …

L.A.M.B.  Happy Friday to everyone. I hope you've had a good week.  I hope you're ready to peruse this week's offerings. I also hope you're in the mood for cheesecake, because I have an excellent slice for you today. Say hello to Gwen Stefani. Lead singer of No Doubt.  Founder of L.A.M.B.  Husband of Gavin …

Like Unto a Thing of Iron – The Essential Power Man and Iron Fist Volume 1

   ...he summons his chi -- the essence of his spirit and strength, channeling its raw power down into his arm, into his hand until that hand becomes like unto a thing of iron!     A couple of months ago, I picked up Marvel's The Essential Power Man and Iron Fist - Volume 1.  I …

Friday LinkFrogging – 2/19/10

Photo - SI.com Welcome back kids. What a week.  The Olympics are in full effect, provided you don't mind staying up until the wee hours of the night to see the full coverage.  Tiger apologizes, sort of.  ECW dies, again. And the GonzoGeeks are back with some more links for you. Before we get to …

The Orson Randall Project – Update 1

I've made no secret of my admiration for Marvel's new take on Iron Fist.  They took a very one-dimensional character and gave him some serious depth. In fact, I have a pair of Iron Fist action figures sitting on my desk at work.  One is the Marvel Universe action figure.  I have to be honest …

News: E-Bay Buyer Blows Chunks

So. Like many of you, I’ve bought and sold stuff on E-Bay from time to time.  Really, at this point, who hasn’t. Most of the time it goes fairly well.  I win, I pay, they ship, we post feedback and life goes on.  Sometimes things get broken or hung up in shipment.  Sometimes your buyer …
