you're going to Brussels for the a href=http://fosdem.org/2009/FOSDEM/a. And as usual, GNOME will
be there. Christophe took care of everything and we'll have a a
href=http://live.gnome.org/Brussels2009/Devroomdevroom/a (GNOME-only on Saturday, shared for
cross-desktop talks on Sunday, as we did in the past few years) and a a
href=http://live.gnome.org/Brussels2009/Standbooth/a this year again! I created some wiki pages
about the a href=http://live.gnome.org/Brussels2009GNOME presence at FOSDEM/a a few minutes ago
(yeah for copy amp; paste!), but I guess they need some more work./p pI guess there will be a call
for presentation so we can have an amazing week-end in the devroom, and you can already start
thinking about stuff you can talk about there. Christophe will handle all that. While the devroom
looks good, we have an issue with the booth right now: so far, we don't have an official organizer.
It'd be really nice to have someone step up and take care of organizing the presence of volunteers
on the booth and of making sure that we have all the necessary materials for the booth. That's not
really a hard job, and it's really a nice and effective way to contribute to our community./p pSo
if you want to help with the organization of the GNOME presence at FOSDEM, and especially for the
booth, go read a href=http://cfergeau.blogspot.com/2008/12/fosdem.htmlChristophe's announcement/a
and contact him!/p
Amy lost her first tooth on Saturday 29 November 2008. It wasn't quite ready, but it kind of fell
out by accident. After some blood and tears, she was fine about it, as you can see in this video
clip! The tooth was placed in the tupperware, and Amy placed the tupperware beside her Readybed.
Later that night, the Tooth Fairy came and gave Amy a pound coin for her first tooth!

Stef sez, "During the BBC's flagship morning radio news show, The Today programme, there's a
religious segment called 'Thought for the Day.' Its rotating presenters are multi-faith, but
humanists, agnostics and atheists or followers of specialist faiths such as the Cult of the Flying
Spaghetti Monster, are barred. Platitudes.org.uk provides a daily parody of the broadcast piece and
the site explains itself, thusly: The BBC's department of Religion More Religion, recognises that
only those who commune with their invisible magic friend can possibly have any morality. Atheists,
agnostics, humanists and other amoral non-believers are therefore excluded from the pure and godly
Platitude of the Day, broadcast Monday to Saturday at 07.45 (but obviously not Sundays). For your
further edification and spiritual improvement, we therefore present these concise, bite-size
summaries of the wisdom of their presenters. Platitude of the Day (Thanks, Stef!)...br

Sunderland. Keane is understood to have been in talks with the chairman, Niall Quinn, and other
members of the Sunderland board this morning. There has been no confirmation from the Stadium of
Light yet, but Keane is due to hold his pre-match press conference at 1pm for Saturday's trip to
Manchester United./pp/ppSunderland sit 18th in the Premier League, having lost five of their last
six games. Keane was booed after their most recent match, a 4-1 defeat to Bolton on Saturday, and
admitted afterwards that he had doubts as to whether he should be in the job. "I ask myself every
day if I'm the right man for Sunderland," he said. "I asked myself this morning, and I said I was.
Sunday morning, if the answer's no, we'll have to look at it."/pp/ppKeane took on his first
managerial role at Sunderland four games into the 2006-07 season and took them from the bottom of
the Championship table to the title and promotion. Last season they finished 15th in their first
year back in the Premier League, avoiding relegation by three points. They started this season
brightly, climbing to sixth in September. However, despite spending nearly £70m on 33 players
since his arrival at the club, Sunderland have since plummeted into the relegation zone after a
dreadful run of results./pp/ppemMore details to follow/em/pdiv style="float: left; margin-right:

We've been fans of Jeff Soto's for a long time. So we were thrilled to learn that Jeff will be
opening his first museum exhibit on December 13th at the Riverside Art Museum in Southern
California. It will be his last show in Southern California for a couple years. Here's the info:
Jeff Soto: Turning in Circles
December 13, 2008 – February 21, 2009
Reception: Saturday, Dec 13, 2008 6-9pm public reception.
Riverside Art Museum
3425 Mission Inn Ave.
Riverside, CA 92501
(951) 684-7111
Age: 33 Hometown: Fullerton, CA Where do you now live?: Riverside, CA Where would you most like to live?: We are an hour from Los Angeles so it would
be nice to move closer at some point. My wife and I always talk about moving to Oregon but we
have a ton of family and friends here. Plus the weather is nice so I don't see us leaving any
time soon. Who was your first "hero" in life?: Kind of embarrassing but the first person I
remember thinking was heroic was Luke Skywalker. And I remember thinking my dad was pretty
heroic. He had fishing and art skills. What is your favorite thing to do on your day off from work?: I really need a
week off at this point. I'd probably spend it with my wife and daughter, maybe we'd go to the zoo
or something, maybe go feed ducks at the park. Something simple. And I'd get a nap in the
afternoon. Just a nice lazy day. What is your favorite color?: A mixture of Burnt Umber and Pthalo blue- it makes
beautifully different shades of grey. Who (or what) do you love?: The easy answer is my wife and daughter. But there's
so many beautiful things in the world to love- looking at the stars, the smell of Ultra Flat
Black, climbing a mountain, ice cream, jumping into the water on a sweltering day, anything that
overwhelms the senses with goodness.
Who and/or what are some of your influences?
In high school I was looking at a lot of Impressionists and NY graffiti writers. Then in college
I discovered hundreds- thousands of artists, and by now I'm a fan of so many. If I had to narrow
it down to the ones who influenced me most, probably the Clayton Brothers who I had as teachers,
Rich Jacobs, Van Gogh, the English illustrator Patrick Woodroffe, Mear, Seen, some of the
surrealists like Max Ernst, Frida Kahlo, probably throw Hayao Miyazaki into the mix as well.
Wooster: What other artists do you most admire?
I'm drawn to artists that do their thing and do it well. Kinsey is making some incredible art
these days. Dave Choe is nuts. Travis Millard... Maya Hayuk... Mark Ryden is always doing his
thing well. AlexOne.. Esther Pearl Watson, Monica Canilao.. there's a lot of great art coming
up..
Wooster: How would you describe your art to someone who could not see it?
Lots of colors, fragmented imagery, tight rendering mixed with randomness and mark making. I am
starting to get much looser, which is how I painted when I started out so things are coming full
circle somehow.
Wooster: What other talent would most like to have?
I always tell my wife I'd trade all my visual art skills to be a badass acoustic guitar player. I
just want to sing songs around the campfire. In reality I wouldn't trade what I have.
Wooster: What do you fear the most?
I used to really fear getting caught for graffiti. When I was younger the rumor was that La eMe,
which is the Mexican Mafia, would chop off your pointer finger if you were in prison for
graffiti. Especially if you were a white boy. That really used to freak me out, but I found out
later it was untrue. I think now that I have a daughter the big fear is that something happens to
her, or that I die early and miss seeing her grow up. Probably the same fear all parents have.
Wooster: What is your greatest ambition?
Usually I have some idea of where I'm headed with my art but right now I have no idea. I'm just
happy to be making some things and hope I can keep on doing that.
A few years back Sara and I flew to Amsterdam for our friends Chaz and Tina's wedding. At the
reception we had the pleasure of meeting the Berlin based artist, Nomad.
We're pleased to let you know that this Saturday Nomad is opening his first soloshow in the
United States, "THE ART OF LOOSING
IT pt.3" at Found Gallery in Los Angeles. It should be
amazing.
Age: 14 Aeons currently take hostage of the body of a 38 year old German Hometown: Kam'Gthul-Ga in the outer rim of Betegeuze Where do you now live?: I'm a nomad. Currently I'm in Silverlake, L.A. on a
veranda, Next week I'll be in Berlin. Where would you most like to live?: Kam'Gthul-Ga, in my forest Who was your first "hero" in life?: Luzifer, i guess... What is your favorite thing to do on your day off from work?: I never quit the
great plan. Work is never done...even when I'm dreaming I work. What is your favorite color?: Straciatella Who (or what) do you love?: I love Life. Like Snoopy.
Wooster: Who and/or what are some of your influences?
Imaginary Friends,The Misfits before 1983, Jerry's Kids,Throbbing gristle, The great
Elders,Maggots Mold and Rust, Rainbows,Warriors, the weather, Lee Scratch Perry, Aleister Crowley
and Patrick Cowley, Everybody who ever got up, Toy or King in the Universe, Metallica before
1984, Insects, My Sister, Myamoto Musashi, Griselda Blanco, John Waters, Harmony Korine, Ugly fat
Dogmatics, Cool Cats, Haters Ron Jeremy, Richard Pryor,Johnny Cash and everybody i ever met.
Wooster: What other artists do you most admire?
(Aubrey Beardsley.1894. Salome)
There's too many to mention, seriously... but to give you a hint I stick with 4 common names :
William Blake, Aubrey Beardsley, Gustav Klimt, Caravaggio. ... and the fantastic Nobodies.
Wooster: What other talent would most like to have?
Last Saturday Nazis firebombed the Cyclops, the autonomous social center in southern Stockholm. Two
days later, on the 1st of December, the build up of Nazi activity in Stockholm took another violent
turn as Nazis poured in gasoline through the mail slot into the apartement of a young couple and
their child, and put it on fire. The couple are active in the Syndicalist union. All three
survived. br /We urge you all to join in the counter demonstration against the Nazi march in Salem,

Here’s the latest installment of a weekly reader interactive segment on the blog, where I
answer reader-submitted e-mails to bcronin@comicbookresources.com (and other e-mails that
don’t require responses).
Enjoy!
Mailbag entries were a bit slim this week - it was almost as if people were spending the
Thanksgiving holiday with their families rather than sending me mailbag entries - how dare they!!
Friendly publicist David got me hip to a cool new thing NBM is doing - a blog for all NBM’s
comic creators! And since NBM has such awesome people as Rick Geary, Neil Kleid, Ted Rall and
Lewis Trondheim, that’s a pretty sweet sounding blog!
Check it out here.

Some new podcast called the Handsome Genius Club sent me a link to their podcast site. Here it is!

ed!=Awesome! took issue with the #1 fight on the Top 25 Comic Book Battles, and sent me a link
from his website where he explains why Batman could never defeat Superman. Here is the link. I think he
seemed to believe that I picked the results myself - I did not - they were voted on by you, the
readers!
________________________________________________
Our favorite young comic book hopeful, Chris Jones, wrote in to show some pages from the comic he
is shopping around:
I talk a lot about the comic I’m working on, and I’d figure you might want to know
what it WAS, and make sure that I wasn’t just pissing into the wind with flights of fancy.
Well, here are the first couple of scripts, and some art for the second issue, drawn by the
wonderful Serena Guerra. If you think it’s worth showing off on the blog or in the letters
section, you can do that, or don’t if you think it’s garbage, or simply choose to
ignore the whole thing. Enjoy!
It’s not like I have a lot of other letters here, Chris, so sure, let’s show everyone
your comic!

Comic book blog Destructo Co. is doing a holiday scavenger hunt to benefit Hero Initiative!
Here’s what they’re doing:
Here’s how ComiXmas works: On Saturday, December 13, 2008 at 12:00 pm (CST) Destructo Co.
will post our Xmas Wish List containing a combination of 12 Hidden Items and Trivia Questions
online. You have 24 hours to collect as many of the hidden items and answer as many of the trivia
questions as you can. One of the items participants must supply is proof of their donation to The
Hero Initiative in the amount of at least $1. The first participant to submit the most correct
items and answers to comixmas@destructoco.com (email must contain “ComiXmas List” in
the subject line) before 12:00 pm (CST) on December 14, 2008 wins a grand prize of 12 FREE COMIC
BOOK SUBSCRIPTIONS from Marvel, DC or a combination of both. All proceeds from the event will go
to benefit The Hero Initiative. Contact Destructo Co. at ComiXmas@destructoco.com with any
questions. See the Official Rules for complete details before participating.
That’s about it, but in case you were wondering, you don’t have to participate in the
scavenger hunt to donate. Every little bit helps. Good luck and thanks for your support!
Happy Holidays! - The Destructo Co. Staff
Check out their site here for more details.

1 problem i have with the iphone is the lack of an sms counter... i have 1500 texts, so it is
pretty impossible to 'estimate' how many you've used...
As some of you know you can call *3282# (*data#) to receive a txt (free?) from at&t stating how
many texts you have remaining.
The service doesn't always provide your current sms balance and sometimes gets a little behind,
usually by no more than a single day.
but for some reason, right now it tells me that i have 273 sms's remaining as of 11/28!!!! that is
5 full days ago!!! And these need to last me 3 more days... I'm pretty sure i've used at least 250
texts since the 28th, so i have completely stopped texting anyone for precaution.
So here is my question. Is this service delayed for anyone else or is it just a current
glitch with my account? Before i hear your comments i'm just going to let you know i will
be getting unlimited texts starting as of Saturday, I am sick of running out.. :mad:

pResearch In Motion has also felt the effects of the sagging economy, and has reduced its outlook
for its fiscal 3rd quarter that ended last Saturday. Revenue is expected to hit somewhere between
$2.75 billion and $2.78 billion, much lower than their September forecast of $2.95 billion and $3.1
billion. The shortfall is blamed on the stronger dollar (which is a good thing IMHO as that means
Americans would have more purchasing power) as well as the "general economic weakness in the United
States." Strangely, they don't see that the lack of innovation in their products being to blame, or
the relative lateness of the Storm and bold to hit the market without impacting iPhone's ever
rising sales figures. /p pPermalink: a

I don’t follow college football, but about 10 years ago a good friend of mine somehow got
me hooked on the University of Alabama’s Crimson Tide, and it’s been the only team I
keep up with ever since. After almost a decade of heartbreak and “rebuilding” years,
the Tide is undefeated and once again in its rightful place atop the NCAA rankings and will crush
the No. 2 Florida Gators in the SEC Championship game this weekend. The icing on the cake? CBS is
live-streaming the game for free on the web and on mobile.
For those who want to watch the big game online, visit CBSSports.com on Saturday, Dec. 6 at 4:00 p.m. ET to catch all the
action. Wireless customers who subscribe to the MediaFLO service can watch the game live on CBS
Mobile as well. (A preview of the game is embedded here.)
