Take A Look At The Digital Human Library

by

Some time ago I discussed the idea of the Human Library and how it is something geeks should join and duplicate.  Little did I know someone had had a similar idea – only taking it digital.

That’s when I found the Digital Human Library.  It’s not affiliated with the Human Library, but it’s just as awesome.

Founded in Canada, the Digital Human library is an education tool (currently for k-12 teachers and students).  The idea is to have people easily available to chat digitally in video conference, Skype, and other technology.  Think of it as a kind of virtual field trip or easy way to get a speaker no matter the distance.

A Fantastic Review of “Quest For Employment”

by

Over at Cosplay With a Brain, Yunie has produced one of the most detailed reviews of Quest For Employment I’ve seen.  It’s so detailed, I may need to refer to THIS when I speak on the book (which is coming up by the way).

This is a fantastic review as it seriously, seriously explores what the book is about (gods knows what she’d do with a larger book . . .).  It’s also very well-written.  If you’ve read the book – or are thinking of getting it – go here.

Also you know, this is pro-level writing, maybe someone should offer her some opportunities . . .

Why The Next Anime Adaptions May Not Be Obvious – Or Exist

by

I’m starting to loose track of the amount of adaptions-of-anime going on in Japan.

Yamato?  Check.

Gatchaman?  Coming up.

Captain Harlock?  Enjoy a badass trailer.

Patlabor?  Coming.

I would like to make an interesting speculation.

You know how now and then I talk about live action anime adaptions here and elsewhere? About how Hollywood may someday adapt things?  What it means for our careers?

What if we should ask not about American adaptions, but any adaptions?
