Près de deux ans se seront écoulés depuis la fin
d’Inri, deuxième volet du Triangle
secret, avec la publication en mars prochain du premier tome des
Gardiens du sang, troisième cycle – ou
saison, c’est la mode – de la saga ésotérique conduite
par Didier Convard. Denis Falque sera chargé de la
plupart des dessins sur un tome qui se passera essentiellement de nos jours, avec
l’assassinat d’une huile du Vatican par un mystérieux tueur au service de la
foi.

Sans même entrer
dans le vif du sujet, Bottomless Belly Button, roman graphique de
Dash Shaw, en impose par
ses mensurations : 720 pages, un dos de 5,5 cm sur lequel on trouve une foultitude d’infos,
bref, une sacrée bête. Acclamé meilleure bande dessinée
indépendante de l’année aux USA, le pavé édité par
Fantagraphics arrive aux
éditions Çà et là pour 30 €, un an
après la sortie du tout aussi imposant Château l’Attente.
Mais rien à voir ici avec de la fantasy médiévale, Bottomless Belly
Button flirte du côté de la chronique sociale iconoclaste à
travers les aventures de la famille Loony, qu’on croirait presque sortie d’un film de
Wes Anderson, genre Famille Tenenbaum. Il faut dire qu’après 40 ans
de mariage, les parents Loony annoncent leur divorce, et réunissent tout le monde dans la
maison familiale. Fantaisie parmi d’autres, Peter, le cadet de la famille, apparaît
la quasi-totalité du bouquin sous les traits d’une grenouille –
même s’il nous a fallu un quart du livre pour comprendre que ses narines
n’étaient pas ses yeux ! –, en écho à sa position
de loser que ce soit sur le plan professionnel ou sentimental. Lui, comme les autres, va vivre un
séjour riche en rebondissements tapant au cÅ“ur de ses complexes. À la
fin, tous les personnages auront évolué de façon perceptible.
Varié et hétéroclite, tant sur les thèmes que sur le plan visuel,
avec des mises en pages éclatées pour rythmer les différentes parties et de
nombreux jeux graphiques avec des onomatopées d’ambiances “musique à
fond” et de mouvements “emmêle”, les 720 pages se lisent d’une
traite. Pourtant, Bottomless Belly Button aura du mal à
séduire ceux pour qui les histoires qui mènent en voyage dans la psyché des
personnages ne font ni chaud ni froid. Reste qu’en la matière, grâce à
ses trouvailles graphiques et à sa façon de traiter de façon simple les
choses complexes, le roman graphique de Dash Shaw est ce qui s’est fait de mieux cette
année !

À la façon de l’Étrangleur de
Tardi chez Casterman, Carabas s’essaye au format tabloïd en proposant
une histoire courte de Low Moon, le nouveau Jason, déjà
dispo chez l’éditeur dans un petit format de 180 pages vendu 20 euros. Cette version
allégée, proposée 3 euros au format journal, nous fait profiter en
très grand format des situations cocasses imaginées par Jason, soit un western
où le jeu d’échec semble avoir remplacé les bons vieux colts
poussiéreux. À cela s’ajoutent les habituels running gags et les innombrables
comiques de situation. Forcément Jasonesque.
En deux mots : Western et mat
De Jason, aux éditions Carabas - 20 pages - 3 € (visuel

Over on Boing Boing Gadgets, our John links to a fantastic Crave piece about master Vietnamese
phone-unlockers, virtuosos of desoldering who manage the painstaking business of unlocking your
iPhone so that you can which network you run it on. First, a technician opened up the phone and
stripped it to the motherboard. In his skillful hands, the device seemed much easier to dismantle
than I expected. The technician then extracted the baseband chip, the component that controls the
connection between the phone and the mobile network, from the motherboard. (This is a painstaking
task as the chip is strongly glued to the phone's motherboard. A mistake during this process could
brick the phone completely.) Once the chip was extracted, it was Tuan Anh's turn. He used a chip
reader to read information into a file. He then used a Hex editor to remove the locking data from
the file, and after that, the chip got reprogrammed with the newly altered file. Now it was no
longer programmed to work with only a specific provider. The chip then got reassembled into the
motherboard, another painstaking process. As a last step, the technician put the phone back
together, and it looked like nothing had been done to it. Unlocking an iPhone 3G the Vietnamese way

I'm looking to pull the trigger on a 24" iMac 2.8. Amazon has it at $1644 (with $100 mail-in
rebate). I need to make the purchase before the end of the year for tax purposes.
Do you foresee prices dropping between now and Jan 1? Or, should I just purchase now?

Me: 80GB Classic with about 25GB of music and 40GB video.
Wife: 3rd Generation Nano (8GB)
One iMac one user.
Problem: I don't want to manually load the Nano, but the iTunes library is too large for her
Nano.
She wants only music - no video.
I tried using a playlist for her and syncing just to that, but then she loses the ability to use
our existing playlists.
Question: How can I sync my wife's Nano and still allow her to have the ability to use playlists?
She never uses my iMac so I'm not going to set her up a "user".
Thanks.

Hi,
I'm looking for a simple app, very similar to the native notes app,
but where i can make a list and then sort it into alphabetical order.
Not a to do list, but a list of items (in this case is tunes in my musical repetoire).
This seems like a simple ask, but can't seem to find one anywhere.
Things like Zenbe are more for to tasks rather than a simple list.
Does anything like this exist?
Thanks,

People either seem to love or hate the campaign for Lionsgate's forthcoming remake of
My Bloody Valentine
( trailer). While most people
are bashing the poster and trailer, I think it's a pretty fun way to spin the whole angle. Beyond
the break you can check out the UK quad for the film, which is basically the same image as the US
one sheet. In the remake Tom (Jensen Ackles) returns to his hometown on the tenth anniversary of
the Valentine's night massacre that claimed the life of 22 people. Instead of a homecoming, Tom
finds himself suspected of committing the murders. VALENTINE hits theaters in the US and UK on
January 16th.

I have been researching this, and I think for the first time in US history, a sitting US President
has lost as a defendant in a US Supreme Court case. Boumediene v. Bush regarding the crime of false
imprisonment, a felony.
I wonder if Bush can actually do time or be fined, as are the two remedies for a crime? The closest
a President got to being charged and sentenced would have been Nixon. When Bush first started
running the country, I scoffed at the ultra-liberals who compared Bush Jr. to Nixon in terms of
criminality. I thought they were conspiracy theorists and made liberals like me look bad.
I guess I was wrong. I remember a bumper sticker, "From the White House to the Big House." :)

I just installed Intelliscreen to use the 10 day trial. I like how it's got the weather and
everything on the lockscreen but what kinda sucks is how I have the mail option set to "only when
new" and it still shows "0 unread" on the lockscreen.
Is this a glitch? I have the SMS part set the same and there's nothing showing up for that.

Over at the parsarts.com blog, Sepideh Saremi* has a post up about Colorado-based artist Tom
Loughlin. His portraits of Iranians inside Iran are featured in an installation project currently
traveling across the US, "Pictures of You: Images from Iran." Snip: PA: The photos in Pictures of
You are printed on translucent silk. You’ve written that the silk is intended to allow
viewers to see each other as well as the photographs, and to remind them that “something
beautiful is in jeopardy.” How have viewers reacted to Pictures of You? TL: There have been a
wide variety of reactions. In fact, the one commonality seems to be that no one is indifferent.
Everyone seems to have a powerful response to the show. So far, the overwhelming majority of
responses have been positive. Viewers thank us for putting a human face on Iran, and many of them
have powerful emotional responses. It’s quite amazing for me as an artist to see people
emerging from the installation in tears, or emptying their pockets into our donation boxes because
they want to see the show travel to other venues. We have had a variety of negative responses as
well. At our installation in Denver, we were picketed by a Christian group that wanted to express
the view that Muslims were going to hell. Interestingly, they all agreed that the subjects of my
photographs looked like very nice people. At the same installation, we had a visitor tell us that
he wanted to go and get dynamite and destroy the artwork. One of our staff members engaged him in
conversation about the show, and within ten minutes he had changed his mind completely. Pictures of

whom Boing Boing partnered to launch Boing Boing tv....br style="clear: both;"/ a

Kind people,
I’m interested in making home movies that won’t bore the pants off family and friends
:eek: This means I need to learn more about planning and shooting family events :cool: This
community here has been great and very helpful, but I also need to find something more specific.
Does anyone know of a good web site or two where people download and talk about how they made their
own home movies? As much as I can watch unedited video of my daughter for hours on end, I also
realize no one wants to see a 3 year old’s birthday party where the camcorder was put on a
tripod and set to record for 30 minutes at a time. I figure there must be a cyber community out
there somewhere that meets this description; I just haven’t found one yet.
Scott
