Opening the door to a wider world of expression
Last week while I was writing a Pull List post on Comics Unbagged, I found that I was unable to upload an image. After doing some troubleshooting based on the error message, I determined that the problem was that I had hit my server’s limit of 250,000 files. This actually explained a problem I’d had…
I left the poll for naming the new sub-site that will replace Spotlight Sunday open through Election Day here in the US, and the results of that should not surprise anyone. Very few votes resulting in a tie. Yep, that checks out. I could do another poll to try to get a tiebreaker, but I’m…
As an addendum to yesterday’s post, I should mention that the existing Spotlight Sunday posts aren’t going anywhere. The only real change that’s happening is that there will be no new posts, and that all similar posts will appear on the yet-to-be-named site that will serve as their new home. And they won’t be limited…
Thinking about an ending brings to mind a beginning, which means there are spoilers ahead for… You sure know how to fill up a girl’s lungs! This will be the last Spotlight Sunday post, as I have decided to bring this feature to a close. That does not mean, however, that I’m no longer going…
“I’m not even supposed to be here today!” – Dante, Clerks (And also my inner twentysomething who didn’t figure on making it to 30, let alone 50.) As of today, I’ve been hanging around for half a century, and while many parts of those five decades have been rough going, I can’t say it’s all…
In what we now know as “The Before Times,” today would have been the best day of the week, AKA New Comic Book Day. However, as noted last week, one of the many challenges we’re facing in the midst of this global pandemic – and, admittedly, one of the more minor inconveniences, all things considered…
Today is New Comic Book Day, which is normally a happy occasion for those of who eagerly rush to our local comic shop (LCS) to pick up the latest four-color adventures. But this New Comic Book Day is unlike any other, in that it’s going to be the last one for an as-yet undetermined amount…
Over the weekend news broke that DC Comics Co-Publisher Dan DiDio is no longer with the company. As of this writing, details are scarce, and there has been no official announcement of any kind. Naturally, this has led to rampant speculation as to why and what it means for the future, but, again, no one…
Last time I talked about how this whole thing got started and how ever since that start things have been stalled at the gate. I also got into some of the reasons why I think that’s the case, why there has been no significant growth of the platform or movement towards achieving the vision that…
Six years ago, finding myself in a set of circumstances – both personal and professional – that could be viewed as either a challenge or an opportunity, I decided to pursue thinking of it all as the latter, and began weighing my options. It was that options-weighing that ultimately led to the creation of OpenDoor…
