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

If this thing were coming from any source other than the legendary Eldar Murtazin of
mobile-review, we'd go ahead and assume this was a knockoff nabbed off eBay for a few
bucks -- but amazingly, we think it's the real deal. The dead-on-arrival burgundy slider with gold
accents looks like it could've been part of a reinvigorated l'Amour
series (or something along those lines), clearly putting styling at or near the top of its
priorities -- but it also steals the
6260 slide's totally capable guts, which means it features a 5-megapixel camera, tri-band 3G,
and a 480 x 320 display. If they had to choose between this and the 6260, the right model came out
on top -- but we gotta admit, it's so far outside Nokia's styling comfort zone that we find it
tolerable in a really sick, twisted way.

It's a fight that's been raging for a while: games publishers shaking their fists at retailers for
selling second-hand games (and coming up with bizarre counter measures), retailers shaking their
fists at the publishers for threatening to crack down on one of their revenue streams (and coming
out with debatable statistics). But the recent surge in public laundry-airing from both camps has
taken many by surprise. Notably, the consumers - often the lost souls in this debate - have begun
to take an interest in the outcome, and with their dollar-might on the side of the retailers (and
the current status quo), how likely is it that the publishers will win their battle and enforce
registration on players?

DragToGo is a Firefox extension which enables interaction with highlighted text and images via
mouse gestures. Text actions are determined by whether or not the highlighted text is a URL or not,
and by the variables you assign in the preferences menu. An example setup, and my current one, is
that all non-URL text when highlighted and dragged becomes a Google search. Drag up to search in a
new foreground tab, drag down to search in a new background tab. You assign gestures to opening new
URLs, searching text, and saving images. The amount of movement required to trigger the assigned
action in Easy DragToGo is minuscule, which makes for some wonderfully lazy mousing. If you're

We left SFO at 11am yesterday, and got into BOS at 3am. The delay in the middle was at ORD:
O’Hare. We arrived at 6pm to find that our 7pm flight had been delayed to 9:10. After going
to dinner at the Macaroni Grill (chosen after tweeting a request that was answered nicely by Todd Storch), we parked
our butts at the gate, where the departure time kept moving back until it was nearly 11pm. For a
long time there was no gate agent at all. But the board behind the counter kept rolling the
departure time outward. I finally became one of those travellers who stretches out and sleeps
with head on knapsack.
The plane for our flight never arrived, so United put us on another one with fewer rows, which
made for even more fun. I felt sorry for whoever didn’t get to Chicago on the plane we
couldn’t take.
I did sleep for the whole flight to Logan, then got to bed at 4, and up at 6. Now I’m back
in the saddle, at my desk in our apartment.
The biggest relief here is Internet speed. On the road everything seemed slow. The hotel in
Morgan Hill, CA barely cleared dial-up speed. The house where we hung out was okay (about 500k up
and down), but seemed to take forever to bring anything up. My Sprint data card outperformed
every wi-fi connection I encountered.
Here at the apartment we have 20Mb symmetrical service from Verizon FiOS. The hub-router thing
craps out a lot, but otherwise it’s rock-solid and makes Net access into a relatively wide
smooth highway. The only better connectivity I’ve experienced is at universities.
Anyway, good to be back. Now off to work.

pIt's a question you've probably asked. Why is it that when you are looking for a house, driving
slowly down a darkened street straining to see the numbers on the fronts of the homes or on the
mailboxes at the end of the driveways, you automatically turn down the car radio? Why do you need
silence when focusing, concentrating? You do so, I suppose, because you instinctively know that
music and voices are a distraction. You know on a subconscious level that you cannot focus as well
on the task at-hand when there is noise in the background. Noise is a distraction./p pI find that
when I am writing, and especially writing something that requires deep thought and consistent
logic, I need to remove background distractions, whether that means I turn down the music playing
from my computer or close the door to my office to drown out the sounds of squabbling or playing
children. I do this without thinking about it. As I strain to collect my thoughts and to put words
to them, I automatically turn down the music (as I did just now). I am often surprised, when I have
finished my writing, to find that the music has been turned off or the door has been closed. I may
have no recollection of doing so. It must be a natural reaction./p pMany years ago I heard a
sermon, one of the few I remember from my younger days, in which the pastor suggested that we try
turning off the stereos in our cars, especially when we are driving alone, and spend the time
thinking or praying. He had apparently developed the practice of praying aloud when driving alone.
It earned him some bemused looks from other drivers who saw him talking, apparently to himself, but
because he found it a beneficial practice he swallowed his pride and continued to talk to God. I
guess this was in the day before bluetooth headsets; today it seems as if every driver is talking
to himself. I often make a decision--and it has to be a deliberate decision since I am accustomed
to pressing the "play" button immediately after starting the car--to turn off the radio or MP3
player when I drive. I have found such times extremely valuable. My mind can process things and
mull things over far better where there is silence. This is particularly true if the song I might
be listening to is one that is familiar to me as then, whether I am aware of it or not, I tend to
sing along. It is har | |
