“The thing you loved as a kid is the thing you should do when you grow up.”
– Paul Pope

Paul Pope has built a reputation as a visionary artist and writer on the strength of some of the most acclaimed graphic novels of the past decade, including Heavy Liquid and 100%. His multiple-Eisner-winning story, Batman: Year 100, immersed the dark knight in the same kind of near-future dystopia that makes his creator-owned work so thrilling. If you saw The Dark Knight this summer, you saw a motorcycle that looks remarkably similar to the one Paul designed for Year 100.

Technology is advancing all around us, and it’s not always easy to be for it when it continually changes so many facets of everyday life. I recently purchased a Kindle, after several days of convincing myself that it was ok. You see, I have complained about them for years, never intending to buy one. The concept of getting rid of my paper books was more than appalling, and the English major inside me died a little every time I saw someone with one.

Then things began to happen that made me reevaluate the idea of a handheld reader. Kindle announced its 3G Wireless model with access to Wikipedia from anywhere (little did I know it was actually full internet access). Soon after this announcement, I moved into my current apartment. It didn’t take me long to realize that I have too much stuff. My book collection takes up its own case as well as three other shelves. As I tried to shove all of my books into the tiny living space, I found myself considering the advantages of a handheld reader for the first time.

A while back I really wanted to make up some waffles, but realized I didn’t have any milk. After a little bit of googling, I found some recipes for beer waffles. I scratched my head for a few minutes and decided that, wow, that sounds kind of amazing. I made them up and am definitely sold on beer waffles; I even like them more than with milk :]

“I’m becoming the artist that I’ve always wanted to be.”
– wiL Francis

Best known as the lead singer of Seattle’s enormously popular bandz Aiden, wiL Francis has embarked on his first-ever solo project under the pseudonym William Control. After several years of success with Aiden, he found himself on the precipice of personal disaster. But instead of succumbing to drink (he’s sober), suicide, or worse, shitty emo ballads, he has unleashed his inner drum machine and transferred his anguish into a record filled with deliciously dark, undeniably ’80s, four-on-the-floor dance hits.
