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
2005 :
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.

Not that we haven't seen a headphone
amp that's made
for one of Apple's DAPs before, but Fiio's latest actually mimics the latest shuffle to
sashay out of Cupertino's lair. The device reportedly puts out 150mW at 16-ohms with a rate
distortion of <0.009% at 10mW. The rechargeable battery (which gets juiced via USB) is said to
be good for around 20 hours of use, and while it's difficult to say exactly how awesome this thing
is, the $20 price tag sure is tempting.
I’ve spent the past few days pretty immersed in the SC 08
conference here in Austin, Texas, but I’m still embarrassed that I missed the formation of
a new lobbying organization think tank called The
Future of Privacy that’s being funded by AT&T. The group hopes to help policy
makers and business leaders figure out how to manage online privacy.
A big source of irony from the group, other than its purported focus on online privacy to benefit
consumers and the industry alike, is that Co-chair Christopher Wolf also headed up one of my
favorite astroturfing efforts,
Hands Off The Internet, the
phone company think tank dedicated to Net Neutrality. Somehow, that connection isn’t
mentioned in his FOP
bio. Wolf is a litigation partner in the Washington, D.C. office of Proskauer Rose LLP, a
firm that does work for AT&T. The other co-founder of FOP, Jules Polonetsky (here’s a
great interview on his
views on Internet privacy), was the former chief privacy officer at AOL. Prior to that he
worked at DoubleClick, which was bought by Google.
The creation of the FOP is both a good thing and bad thing. It’s a sign that consumers
worried about how their private information is collected and used on the Internet have been taken
seriously. On the other hand, the backer and members of this particular
organization are highly likely to influence legislators in a direction that will keep
consumers’ data in their hands.
I hope that some of the more privacy focused representatives can cut through the corporate
double-speak that I have seen firsthand from the telecommunications companies on other issues.
Perhaps Google, which is not represented on the board, can start its own privacy think tank and
we can watch the fight unfurl between caching private data
for later use, and profiting from data as it travels through the ISPs’ pipes.

Mufin, the music recommendation engine that suggests
songs based on their sound characteristics, is now open to everyone in public beta. With the
launch, Mufin is also introducing two new applications: Mufin for iTunes and Mufin for Facebook.
As you might expect, Mufin’s iTunes add-on analyzes the songs in your iTunes library to
suggest new music. While you’re playing a song, or an entire playlist, Mufin recommends new
tracks simultaneously in the sidebar. You can then play 30-second previews of the new
recommendations, and purchase them in iTunes if you enjoy them.
Since Mufin’s
recommendations are based on properties like tempo and rhythm, the suggestions are a bit
different than what you’d get with iTunes’ own Genius Sidebar, which performs a
similar function.
Meanwhile, Mufin for Facebook is essentially the same application that the company launched on
MySpace during their private beta. You can search Mufin for specific artists and tracks, and then
have the service recommend new music, all within the Facebook interface. When you
“discover” a new piece of music, that action is broadcast to your mini-feed. You can
also send a song to your Facebook friends.
So is Mufin worth the download? I’m not blown away by the recommendations so far, but they
are distinctly different than what you’d expect to see with a “people who liked this
also liked” type list, or what you might see in browsing social discovery engines such as
iLike or Imeem.
From a business perspective, Mufin now has all of the pieces in place for success
– a destination site, applications on the social networks, and an iTunes
add-on. But, if it’s going to stand out from the pack, it will need to continue to tweak
its recommendation engine to offer something significantly better than the alternatives.
