This is just incredible! I'm really impressed with these artists that are taking old animation concepts and giving them fresh approaches.

Quote by Rudyard Kipling
Arthur C Clark dies at 90 and selects the following quote. It's quite apropos.
In his posthumously published poem “The Appeal,” Rudyard Kipling said to us all:
If I have given you delight
By aught that I have done
Let me lie quiet in that night
Which shall be yours anon:
And for that little, little span
The dead are borne in mind
Seek not to question other than
The books I leave behind.

Garfield without Garfield is a far better comic!
Who would have guessed that when you remove Garfield from the Garfield comic strips, the result is an even better comic about schizophrenia, bipolor disorder, and the empty desperation of modern life?
Friends, meet Jon Arbuckle. Let’s laugh and learn with him on a journey deep into the tortured mind of an isolated young everyman as he fights a losing battle against lonliness and methamphetamine addiction in a quiet American suburb.

Article: Big Foot: - In measuring carbon emissions, it’s easy to confuse morality and science
Calculating carbon output is a complex, if not counterintuitive, process, Specter says. In the February 25 issue, he writes about the difficulties of measuring carbon footprints in an article titled "Big Foot: In Measuring Carbon Emissions, it's Easy to Confuse Morality and Science."
Specter was formerly The New York Times' Moscow bureau co-chief, and before that the national science reporter for The Washington Post.
Read the article by Michael Spector in the New Yorker
Terry Gross interviewed him on FreshAir. Listen to the interview
