The New New 52
Over on Ye Olde Webcomic, Kris and I had figured that the seventh issue of DC’s The New 52 series would start to see creative team changes. Considering that DC has announced three new creative teams this week, it looks like our theory is holding true. The party line is that all three creators voluntarily decided to leave their books, although the post announcing Fabian Nicieza’s...

Changes to the Firestorm creative team matrix →
I’m a big fan of Simone’s run on Secret Six and her original Birds of Prey run, but all of the more recent stories that she’s written have fallen flat for me.

Objectives Redux
After my previous blog post, I reworked my corporate objectives so that it included Be Awesome (most of the others were a verbose equivalent to Meet Your Deadlines that actually listed what the deadlines were) and submitted them to my manager. I figured that I’d have to cut it, but at least for a minute I let my strategy show. You know what? He liked it. Said it was a good objective to...

Objectives
Today I had to work on my 2011 Objectives for my office job. There are seven bullet points filled with buzzwords, techno-jargon, and productivity slang to outline what I will do this year and how my managers can evaluate my accomplishments at the end of the year. I really hate doing this objective stuff because it’s all bullshit noise that clouds what you need to be doing. To really get...

Finished watching Smallville season 2 last night. When Lionel Luthor helped rebuild the Smallville High Torch newspaper offices, he replaced all of the Macs with Alienware boxes. That’s how you know he’s evil.

izs: By now, if you haven’t heard the outrage at the TSA’s “enhanced” pat-down procedures, then you don’t use the internet, and you’re not reading this blog. They grope children. They touch your junk. The procedures are ludicrously ineffective and harmful from a security point of view. And the…

At the time it was very helpful in getting over some mental hurdles I had concerning my work and life in general. Three months...

This entry (which I’ll probably update as I find new things) will have a running list of things I’ve found useful when getting started into iPhone development.
