Aujourd’hui, de nombreux sites qui traitent de l’école ont fermé, en
soutien du mouvement de grève. J’ai réalisé un dessin pour
l’occasion libre de droit et que vous pouvez voir par exemple là , là , là ,
là , là ou encore sur les sites de cette liste . (Mais bizarrement pas
sur ce site ).
Et parce qu’elle est toujours d’actualité, je rediffuse cette planche de
l’album “Le journal d’un remplaçant ” que vous avez probablement tous
déjà lu (sinon ça vous fait une bonne idée de cadeau de Noël )
et que j’avais dessiné à l’occasion de la grève du 18 janvier

20 ans après
la sortie du premier tome, la saga des Chroniques de la Lune Noire
s’achève aux éditions Dargaud. Pour marquer le coup, l’éditeur
sort 3 couvertures
différentes, représentant un triptyque signé Olivier
Ledroit, alors que François Froideval planche déjà
sur de nouveaux cycles !
Dans une interview au magazine Casemate, l’auteur annonce un tome 0 sur la
jeunesse de Wismerhill, dessiné par Fabrice Angleraud, qui s’est
déjà occupé du deuxième tome des Arcanes de la Lune
Noire. En plus de cet album qui clôturerait bel et bien la série, le
scénariste prévoit d’étendre son univers avec de nouveaux
cycles courts – fini, les 20 années de saga
–, situés 3000 ans après la fin des
Chroniques. Si aucun dessinateur n’est encore annoncé pour
ces nouvelles aventures, Olivier Ledroit se chargerait toujours de La
Succube, présumé tome 3 des Arcanes de la Lune Noire.
De son côté, Cyril Pontet, dessinateur des aventures de Wis depuis
le tome 6, nous a expliqué passer à autre chose, même s’il
n’exclut pas, un jour, réaliser un des albums consacrés aux personnages
secondaires de la série. «Â L’heroic fantasy dépeinte dans
les Chroniques n’est plus celle qui a ma
préférence. Trop de dragons, trop de magie qui tue la magie, trop d’objets
miraculeux, trop de troupes ! Avec les années, je me suis tourné vers
la low fantasy, la sword & sorcery ou les histoires historiques que j’aime
teintées de mystères et de léger fantastique telles
Murena ou la Complainte des Landes Perdues,
préférant les intrigues à l’échelle humaine à celles
à l’échelle d’un empire. Je suis également revenu à mes
premières amours, les comics américains qui me firent découvrir la BD, la
notion d’héroïsme et les rebondissements improbables, tous ces
éléments qui me poussèrent vers le métier de dessinateur. J’ai
d’ailleurs pour objectif de tenter une aventure, qu’importe la durée, dans le
comics, peut-être chez DC ou Marvel, afin de réaliser un vrai rêve de
gosse ! Qui sait ? »

Âgé de 74 ans, Guy Peellaert est
décédé le 17 novembre 2008. Avant d’être mondialement connu pour
son travail d’affichiste au cinéma ou dans la musique, l’homme avait
signé deux albums de bande dessinée dans la mouvance pop culture à la fin
des années 60 chez l’éditeur Éric Losfeld, Les Aventures
de Jodelle et Pravda la surviveuse, ce dernier titre
étant cosigné avec le réalisateur Pascal Thomas. Peellaert
est l’auteur, entre autres, des pochettes Diamond
Dogs de David Bowie et de Pour nos vies
martiennes d’Étienne Daho. Son livre le plus
connu reste Rock Dreams réalisé avec le critique
Nick Cohn dépeignant les rock stars des années 70, entre fantasme
et réalité. “Bye bye” monsieur, comme le disait le sous-titre de son
ouvrage et son site.

Prévue à l’origine pour être en ligne le 23 octobre, la nouvelle mouture du site Glénat
s’est quelque peu fait attendre. Enfin disponible, cette évolution sent encore la
peinture fraîche pour une version bien plus moderne. Previews, interviews d’auteurs,
blog, tout est présent ici. Ne reste plus qu’à animer tout ce petit monde. En
attendant, la meilleure partie du site reste l’espace dédié au livre de
Zep et Tébo, Comment dessiner, où l’internaute peut
s’essayer à dessiner un beau coucher de soleil et le voir se transformer en une
paire de fesses poilues.

Les vampires vous connaissez ? Si tout le monde a en tête les
caractéristiques propres à ces êtres de la nuit, la dessinatrice Yuna
Kagesaki s’amuse à en prendre le contre-pied dans son shojo
Chibi Vampire Karin, du nom de sa frêle héroïne. Ici,
la demoiselle ne suce pas le sang des autres mais se vide du sien. Mieux, ses morsures inversent
le caractère des victimes, un paresseux devenant ainsi un bosseur patenté.
Ubuesque, et doté d’une famille vampire haute en couleur, la lecture est à
recommander pour tous amateurs d’esprit franchement décalé.
En deux mots : Petit mais costaud

Way back in 2006, Lucent-spin off Agere Systems filed a
lawsuit against Sony, claiming the electronics behemoth had infringed on not one, not two, but
eight of its patents. As it turns out a prior deal with Lucent gave Sony the rights to use
seven of those, but that one unlicensed patent became Sony's weak point, allowing Agere's lawyers
to inflict massive damage(es). The jury's findings state not only that Sony wrongly utilized
Agere's intellectual property in the mylo, Network Walkman, and the PSP, but that there was "clear and convincing evidence that
such infringement was willful." In other words: big payout, in this case an eye-opening $18.5
million. Don't blame us Sony, we told you to settle! [Warning: PDF read link]

Google announced that on December 31st they will shut down Lively, which was their 3D chat world, and somewhat of a potential
competitor to Second Life. Room widgets embedded in other sites are then supposed to show an
image but no more interaction, which would add Lively to the list of Google’s canceled products.
Google’s post on this decision does not really give a detailed reasoning for this shut-down
of a product which was just released
this year, except that they’re saying “we want to ensure that we prioritize our
resources and focus more on our core search, ads and apps business.” In particular, this
leaves some questions unanswered as a company could theoretically embed ads in this 3D world app.
Lively was a great-looking Google product. On the other hand from the beginning on it was riddled
with regular program crashes for some users, though the situation improved over time. There were
other oddities as well, like a flood of sex rooms almost kidnapping the Lively
rooms directory, or custom images never quite fitting the object you’d put them on (and
then being disabled altogether for a while). It was still a fun experience, with a fresh and
intuitive interface that I found more beginner-friendly than Second Life. Building rooms was
entertaining and casual, with features like integrating YouTube videos by pasting the video URL,
leading to quickly shareable results.
Now, Google say they’ve “always been supportive of this kind of experimentation
because we believe it’s the best way to create groundbreaking products that make a
difference to people’s lives” but that they’ve also “always accepted that
when you take these kinds of risks not every bet is going to pay off.” Google apparently
made up their mind that this bet will never pay off, even if the product was only given the
chance to grow for 4 months; a short time to make a good judgment on potential future success.
Others feel like Lively was an odd release for Google to begin with; Andy Baio in the forum
comments, “I never understood this product. It never seemed to fit Google’s
worldview, and even the standalone domain and branding were weird. I wonder what the story behind
it was.”
Google says current users of Lively are supposed to make “videos and screenshots” of
their “hard work” to preserve some of it. They also mention that current members of
the Lively team will move to other projects. In 2006, Niniane Wang, who headed the then-secret
project at Google, quoted from an email sent to their team:
<<i realized today during the meeting that...
- if we’re working on the best project at google, and
- we’re working at the best company on the planet, then
we’re working on the Best Project in the World.>>
Already, a website by Lively users has sprung up protesting against the shutdown. On the homepage
of Livelyzens.com, which is accompanied by a discussion group, the following is written:
<<Livelyzens are the proud and happy residents of Google Lively. Today we are saddened by
Google’s decision to shutdown lively.
We are appealing through this website to keep Lively alive and will showcase all the great things
about lively and why Google MUST revisit their decision.>>
Also, people are currently coming together in – where else – a Lively room set up for the
purposes. Called “KEEP LIVELY ALIVE!”, this room plays the song “Staying
Alive”. An image from South Park reads “Don’t Kill Kenny.”
[Thanks Andy!]

Not too long ago, that was a number to brag about. Nowadays, minivans edge close to that number,
making 500 or even 600 horsepower the new 300. While the proliferation of big horsepower might
scare the beejeezus out of average drivers, car lovers see it as an opportunity to get a
musclebound automobile at a fire sale price. If you've got a need to have the latest, best stuff,
then the idea of picking up 300 still-exciting horsepower under the hood of something interesting
from the last two decades might not do it for you, but the idea that you can get 300 horsepower for
less money than an Aveo has a real appeal to us. Next Autos has whipped up a list of what they
think are some of the better options in the sub-10K marketplace that pack the magic triple-hundred
rating. We agree with some of the picks, one we've a
href="http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/08/future-classic-1990-nissan-300zx-turbo/"even singled out
in the past as a Future Classic/a, but as is the case with any list, opinions will vary. One thing
to bear in mind when contemplating the purchase of some of these cars is that while the price of
entry might be pleasant, service costs can add up to monumental sums. Not that maintenance costs
would stop us from being suckers for the roar of enraged pistons and the firm shove of hundreds of
horsepower. Hit the link to see if the list is right on or full of beans. br /br /[Source: a

Oh, look! It's another netbook in the wild! This one is Packard Bell's dot, and according to the
boffins at Pocket-lint it's now available for purchase across the pond by anyone who can
find a reason to care. The Aspire One-like
specs and style are just what you'd expect (do we really need to recount the Atom 270 processor,
1GB of RAM, and 160GB hard drive yet again?), and while there's the promise of being able to add
internal 3G connectivity at some point in the future, right now the only thing setting this one
apart is the red dot on the hinge. (Which, we confess, is a nice look.) Still no mention of when or
even if this one will be appearing domestically -- though if it does it'll probably be as an Everex
anyhow.
