Comics Fandom on the JobA column article, Mission: Professional by: Steven Savage
Comics Bulletin helps my career.
"But wait," you say, "Steve, you're a Project Manager! That means you work in organization and planning. Oh, also you're probably boring. So how does this help?"
And me, I'd say you'd be surprised. Also I'm not boring, I am just interesting in a different way that's very statistics-oriented. It also involves my beloved Gantt charts.
But, anyway, going on, if you like me write or work on a comics-related projects and hobbies, you can use it in a non-comics related career. I certainly do, and as noted, I'm a guy who actually has discussed his love of Gantt charts in public.
So, here's a quick guide to the ways to use that comics blogging/site experience on a job search or when seeking a promotion or other opportunities at work - that isn't comics-related. Your work on your website or blog is a testimony to:
Your Writing Ability: Know how it seems everyone can think they can write, and when it comes down to it a lot of people can't - or shouldn't? A blog or review site is blatant, obvious testimony that you can - and that's a valuable skill indeed. Many professions involve writing and communication, and you've got obvious testimony to your ability to do it.
Your Organizational Ability: Much like writing, it's nice to have testimony to your organizational skills and being able to run a site, work on a site, post regularly to a blog, and so on is important. You can send people to a website and point out what you do - and if there's a technical component, so much the better. In fact . . .
Your Technical Ability: If you work on a site's code, well . . . you've got a working element of your portfolio sitting online. This is not only a good way to show your skills, it can show diversity of skills, and an ability to learn.
Your Commitment: Run a site for two years? Five years? Ten years? Your online efforts show you stick with things. It shows your ability to make a commitment.
Your Having a Life: You've probably had a few people comment your interesting comics and such means you should "get a life," though in the age of geek chic that seems to be changing. Whatever people think your ability to work outside of work shows that, essentially, you're a regular human being. That's pretty important since let's face it, it shows you're human and able to connect with people (and lets face it on a job interview if you don't say you have a life, people will assume you're BS-ing and acting like work is 100% your life).
Your Pop-Awareness: Depending on your job, or hopeful job, being pop-aware can be very useful. You may work in marketing, or have to understand certain demographics. You may need to understand various subcultures - and comics subculture may be one. Or you may simply need a good grasp of popular phenomena. Congrats - you've already got this.
So don't diss your comics-related hobbies. They say a lot of good things about you if you let them.

Saturday night was more than a fundraiser – it was a celebration of what the vice president of the University of Virginia Medical Center calls a 30-year dream for Charlottesville.
Hundreds of people were at Keswick Hall Saturday night for the UVA Children's Hospital main event. The fundraising gala supports the construction of the new Battle Building opening next year.
A large architectural model of the Battle Building was on display to give guests an up close look at the soon-to-be finished outpatient center on West Main Street. The new children's hospital will offer a place for siblings to go while their brother or sister receives care. The idea is to make the hospital a comfortable place for the entire family - not just the patient.
"Everything a child can need in the way of health care will be under one roof, everything the family needs to support siblings, to support the parents will be there as well," said Ed Howell, vice president of the UVA Medical Center.
"It's a way to bring together lots of different specialties and different services for the kids in a very, very efficient, very pleasant family centered and child-centered environment," said James Nataro, M.D., chair member of the Department of Pediatrics.
The new Battle Building will have a licensed school inside so that children there for an extended amount of time can stay on top of their studies.
UVA still needs to raise $8 million toward the Battle Building project. Fundraisers set a goal of $250,000 to bring in at Saturday night's gala. The building will open its doors spring of 2014.

Photographer Martin Kimbell has found a way to freshen up the classic photography experiment called light painting – and it doesn't involve any high-tech gadgets or tools.
These light tornadoes are created by attaching LED's to a hoop and throwing it into the air. As the hoop spins and descends, Kimbell takes a long-exposure photograph to capture the pattern the lights make on the way down.
Through a perfect combination of illumination and timing, Kimbell is able to create beautiful and diverse tornado-like "structures" in the images.

At first glance you would think that these spiders have been turned into a walking art project, but in fact they are naturally decorated with the sequin-esque reflective pieces on their backs.
These spiders are appropriately called mirrored, or sequined spiders and they can actually change the size of the reflective patches, depending on if they are on the move or at rest, threatened or relaxed.
Venture over to photographer Nicky Bay's website to see some more (and less pretty) macro shots of spiders.

At DNA 11 we are no strangers to the fact that art and science can be combined, or even the result of one another. Over at Princeton University they share the same feelings, so they put on an art exhibit — featuring images from the science department.
There were more than 250 submissions for the exhibit, and over 4o photos in the final show. Take a look at a few of them below!
Fruit Fly Factory – The cross-section of ovarioles from fruit flies
Fungus Among Us – A network of strands of fungal spores
Living Architecture — Army ants creating a bridge to protect their queen
Watermarks – Patterns on New Jersey's coast

A Cave of Crystals – A protein from cow's blood turns into a crystal shell as it evaporates
Head over to NBC News to see some more! Or get started on your own scientific art, at DNA11.com
These images look like fine art paintings – but they're not. They're actually made from layers of microscopic images.
Artist Rebecca Clews takes hundreds of microscopic images, and combines them until they create a final work she is happy with. Many of the color and texture combinations look like abstract landscapes that reflect her growing up in rural New Mexico. The microscopes became a fixture in her work through school, and her parents background as scientists.
Take a look at some of the amazing work she has created, piece by piece.

When you think of bees, you might not immediately think of them as majestic, beautiful or even positive in any way. Photographer and naturalist Clay Bolt has set out to change that.
The photographs were taken for the Beautiful Bees project, and aim to change the way we think about, research and see bees. You can see from the photographs that there are many kinds of this frequently-hated insect, and a closer look reveals colors and features that are often overlooked and endearing.
Seeing the bees this way, Bolt hopes will help people to respect and protect the nature around them. Â See more photographs of bees, and other insects, birds and amphibians on Bolt's website.

We're always looking for new ways to create personalized art, so we thought we would share our recent research with you!
We have been looking at a way to create jewellery, from your DNA. The possibilities are endless with this idea, so the process was exciting.
First we took a look at whether we would use the same sequencing procedure as we do with our portraits. We wanted to stay true to our DNA 11 customers and products, but we thought there might be some other interesting patterns in the science that we could work with. We took a look at STR data, to see if it would translate well onto a ring, bracelet, or even necklace.
The numbers in the data would transfer well into measurements of the bands, providing a delicate and perfectly unique pattern for each piece.
Another way we could go about it would be to use our original sequencing, and transfer the entire portrait, or a single ladder onto the piece.
We decided to focus on the idea of a DNA ring. Outside of the DNA data possibilities, there are so many options in the world of jewellery that we have looked at. From the size and design of the piece, to the type of material used, to the way they are physically produced, there is so much to take into consideration. We tried a few 3D-printed prototypes and even discussed with a local jeweller the possibilities of casting each ring.
We started with the above sketches and created some potential digital designs.
Once we saw how the bands could look, we moved forward with 3D printed prototypes.
We played around with silver, gold and titanium options.
We also looked at cutting out the DNA data, compared to raising it above the surface, or etching the full portrait into the ring. The ways of personalizing these pieces never ends!
If you're familiar with our DNA Portraits, you'll see the full banding etched into the ring in the above photo!
We'll keep working on these ideas and let you know what we come up with! In the meantime, let us know what you think or if you have any ideas for cool DNA Art in the comments!

CATEGORIES MoviesJames Franco, Winona Ryder, and Michael Shannon stepped out for a special screening of "The Iceman" in New York last night (April 29).
Ryder looked cute and classic in a black Zac Posen dress, while leading man Michael Shannon and co-star James Franco suited-up for the event at the Chelsea Clearview Cinema, and for the Grey Goose after-party at NYC's Soho House.
"The Iceman" tells the true story of mob hit-man Richard Kuklinski (Shannon). At the time of his arrest in 1986 Kuklinski claimed to have killed more than 100 men for multiple crime families. On the surface, the hired gun appeared as a devoted father and loving husband, but, in reality, was a ruthless murderer who hid his crimes from his family. Ray Liotta, Chris Evans, and Robert Davi also star.
"The Iceman" opens in limited release May 3.

Brutal concentrated urine color, no head, just rough adjunct malt liquor appearance. Aroma was largely alcohol and corny sweetness with the addition of some of the fragrance from a garage that specializes in doing car repairs/maintenance.
Very thin body, rawkus taste, alcohol so pronounced. Residual corn sweetness only seems to further contribute to the rough experience. No hops. Like drinking that corn based ethanol. 85 Octane. Carbonation is high, which usually can help alleviate a horrible taste from resonating too long, but here, it just seems like you get all the crap stuck in your sinus cavity because of it. The taste permeates your whole face and torso.
This is one of the tougher challenges to choke down.

Forty ounce bottle yo money yo bash...yep folks those are ol' dirty Bastard lyrics I have to pay homage to one of my seventh grade hereoes...Russel Jones one of the founding members of the Wu-Tang Clan. Appearance is straw golden with a bright white head leaves thin lacing, yo. Aroma is semi sweet no hops grainy sugary tones harsh corn and rice. Taste is not overly sweet mild graininess no hop flavor very mild bitterness alcohol flavors in the finish kinda run of the mill. Mouthfeel light bodied somewhat sticky with residual sugars high carbonation. Drinkability is refreshing just doesn't do it for me as a whole, and I feel like this malt liquor is another bud product for the masses.

Ice cold 40 poured into a very clean glass after shoveling 6 inches of snow on 18 degree (5 degree wind chill) Kentucky day.
A - Pours a golden color with a 1 finger head that retreats to a thin lace.
S - Sweetness and corn. You don't buy malt liquor for the bouquet.
T - Adjunct dominated with some sweetness.
M - Decent carbonation level - a very clean finish.
O - I'll openly admit that I've like this stuff for a long time. I used to think it was just King Cobra in a different package but they are totally different animals. This is a malt liquor after all...inexpensive and gets the job done. Frankly I have always wondered why regular BMC drinkers don't go for this stuff since I think it tastes better than Bud or BL and packs a decent punch.

I try to judge every beer I taste on it's specific merits; and I don't bring style or personal preferences into it. In fact, I'm a fan of malt liquors, but... ... this one is not real good. And that's very surprising since it comes from Budweiser, but in a way it all makes sense. This is a very clean (except for the fruitiness) unobtrusive lager. I feel it's a bit too limited for the style! That said, it has a deep gold color with a thick (but not very dense) head and a generic malt & hop aroma. The body is fairly light. I was expecting a little more flavor... it has a fruitiness but limited maltiness - and no hop flavor. Very low bitterness. Finishes fruity but very clean.

Oh man. I bought a 40oz of this stuff when an actual hurricane was approaching North Carolina, but it did't really come my way, and it sat in my fridge for a couple of months. Aging probably didn't do this any favors. Drinking it directly from the 40oz bottle, still wrapped in the brown paper bag. Looks a rather sickly darkish yellow color, with a fizzy white head inside the bottle. Smells pretty bad - sour, slightly skunky aroma. Taste actually isn't that bad. Standard adjunct lager taste, with a bit more kick to it. Slightly thick mouthfeel. I'm gonna have some trouble getting the entire 40 down tonight.
Epilogue: I finished the 40. Then I had a bottle of PBR (baby steps, folks, baby steps). It tasted like a nice hoppy craft brew in comparison.

Haha everyone loves a good 40 ounce of Malt Liquor from time to time. I personally don't have much of a problem with Hurricane, in fact it is probably one of the better Anheuiser Busch Products out there in my opinion. Hurricane has a unique mouthfeel and a somewhat sweet taste. Its' really not that bad considering its a malt liquor.

40 oz bottle spread amongst several of us on 2/3/10 to celebrate Deuane hitting the BIG 40.
Pours a clear gold, topped with a fizzy bright-white head. This sticks around for the most part with a foamy look. The aroma smells of light floral hops, corn bread, and that's about it. And that's probably actually giving it too much credit.
The taste is sweet with a mix of corn and bread. I also made the mistake of actually letting this sit on the palate to you know, actually try to pick up some flavor but was overwhelmed with a disgusting flush of raw vegetable character. Blech! The mouthfeel is thin and watery and seems more like something that I would rinse my glass out, instead of an actual beer that I would sit down and try.
I tend to not want to try beers of this caliber, so my rating might be skewered a bit towards the low side but what can I say, this was some pretty terrible stuff.

Poured from a clear 40 oz. bottle. Has a pale yellow color with a 1/2 inch head. Smells of malts, slightly sweet. Taste is basically of malts and corn. Feels medium bodied in the mouth and has decent drinkability. Overall not that bad as far as malt liquors go.

Very cheap, don't have to plug your nose to get it down, and it's pretty cheap. Do not mind gettin one of these down and it keeps my pockets thick. Call me crazy, but I'd say this is better than most shit beers. Did I mention that it's quite inexpensive.

From the 24 fl. oz. can 10112-NB44. Sampled on June 19, 2010. Everything about this is typical for an adjunct high gravity malt liquor although not carried off as well as some. It pours pale yellow with a little thin white head that dissolves right away. While there are malt hints in the aroma, the main smell I get is metal. The mouthfeel is OK but the taste has a bit of corn and malts but the alcohol remains the most predominant ingredient.

By all accounts, the Eagles' 13-man draft class last year was a fine bounty. All but three of the players they selected appeared in games for the team — a remarkable achievement — playing in a combined 102 games, with a collective 34 starts between them. The three who did not appear in any games were RB Charles Scott, who was traded to the Cardinals for effective KR Jorrick Calvin; QB Mike Kafka, who spent the year as the No. 3 quarterback and holds a place in the team's future plans; and DE Ricky Sapp, who underwent knee surgery in August, ending his season before it began.
That said, the Eagles want to see more of these players develop into quality contributors — and in some cases, front-line starters.
It starts with the top pick, DE Brandon Graham, who remains a gem in the coaches' eyes, but he struggled a good amount before suffering a season-ending ACL. Their second pick, FS Nate Allen, was having a fine season as the starter before he fell to a season-ending knee injury. Both players are expected to be top-notch starters as soon as this season, but the pressure will be on them to return healthy.
Bigger questions lie with their next two picks, DL Daniel Te'o-Nesheim and CB Trevard Lindley. At times Te'o-Nesheim looked completely lost early on, and one league observer wondered if he even was an NFL-caliber talent, but Te'o-Nesheim flashed a bit late in the season and started the final regular-season game. Lindley wasn't able to crack the RCB rotation despite all the problems there and must at least challenge for the nickel spot this year to inspire confidence that he's improving.
There will be opportunities for fourth-round LB Keenan Clayton and seventh-round LB Jamar Chaney to perhaps start this season. Clayton stood out in the nickel package, flashing good speed. And Chaney proved to be a heady pickup, stepping in late with some strong play.
TE Clay Harbor, WR Riley Cooper and FS Kurt Coleman fall under the category of quality reserves who will be big factors on special teams. It will be hard for any of them to crack the starting lineup considering the players in front of them, however.
It would be difficult to project Sapp or DT Jeff Owens being big factors heading into 2011. Both are coming off major injuries and are strong candidates for the PUP list.

Review: Vince Carter: Choose Your Course
Vince Carter grew up in Daytona Beach, Florida, competing in soccer, football, tennis, volleyball, track, and basketball. He also played in school bands for seven years. Struggling through his parents' divorce, he developed a positive attitude to carry him forward. In his senior year of high school, Carter earned seventy-six college scholarships for either basketball or music. Choosing to play basketball for the University of North Carolina, he also promised his mother to stay in school. With one college year left, Carter put his name into the 1998 National Basketball Association draft. The Toronto Raptors selected him, and he rose quickly in the NBA ranks.
In 2000, Carter joined the United States Olympic basketball team for competition in Sydney, Australia. Playing with determination, he helped the team win gold. This medal meant more to him than any NBA title. Remembering his promise to his mother, Carter attended summer classes and earned his college degree in African-American studies. To him, all of his NBA wins were less important than finishing school. Carter continues to be an All-Star both on and off the court.Read More

basically from what i understand this expensive bottle is a bottle conditioned (or refermented) edition of the basic scaldis brew. i expected it to be far more dry and bubbly than it is, and frankly prefer the base beer to this one for whatever reason. the elegance and refinement is lost on me. amber in color with a nice head but a ton of massive yeast chunks, literally as big as jelly beans, floating all over the place. i get a ton of sweet caramel malt on the nose, with a classic belgian yeast strain, smells like a sweeter blonde, not so much like an amber. prickly carbonation hits my nose too, but the sweetness is intense, and there is a desserty vibe to it, and the alcohol is hidden well for how big it is. the taste is as sweet as the nose, i thought the bottle conditioning would clean this up much more than it does. layers of brown sugar and caramelized cereal grain come up, and the belgian yeast that makes the base beer so distinct is a little muted here. a well made beer no doubt, but the base needed verily little improving. for the price i would skip this one and pick up the original every time.

750 ml bottle into tulip glass, best before 2015. Pours moderately cloudy deep orange copper color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense off white head with solid retention, that reduces to a thin lace cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big golden raisin, plum, fig, cherry, pear, apple, caramel, candi sugar, toast, biscuit, clove, pepper, herbal, and yeast earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance and complexity of fruity/spicy yeast and malt sweetness; with great strength. Taste of big golden raisin, plum, fig, pear, apple, caramel, candi sugar, toast, biscuit, clove, pepper, herbal, floral, and yeast earthiness. Lingering notes of golden raisin, plum, fig, pear, apple, caramel, candi sugar, toast, biscuit, clove, pepper, herbal, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a while. Fantastic complexity and big robustness of fruity/spicy yeast and deep malt flavors; with a great malt/yeast flavor balance and zero cloying sweetness after the finish. Medium carbonation and fairly full bodied; with a smooth, slick, and lightly syrupy mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with only a light warming present after the finish. Overall this is an awesome Belgian strong ale! All around great complexity and robustness of fruity/spicy yeast ester and deep malt sweetness; and very smooth to sip on for the big ABV. A highly enjoyable offering.

Pours a copper-tinged amber in the Affligem chalice. Really nice foam and it lasts well. A boatload of floaties adds to the weirdness. The aroma ranges from candy to fruitcake.
The initial taste is so shockingly sweet it's a revelation. I mean, it tastes exactly like sugar cane. However the Belgian yeast takes over. It doesn't get at all dry, except for a little woodiness on the tongue. Even a little bitterness as you sip. A faint hint of tart-sour flavor that provides a little complexity. Stunningly strong but thoroughly interesting. Sip slowly and let it warm up. Raisins and more fruitcake with a bitter marmalade finish.
This is totally crazy, but it's a Belgian brew that actually lasts well From the 750 ml bottle with painted label purchased at Bottles N' Bins Liquor in Monterey.

Poured into y Gulden Draak tulip. Orange body, albeit a little on the darker side. White head, fluffy.
A little floral but mostly caramel on the nose.
Very biscuity and super sharp like there's a note of bourbon in it. Another year or so might do this one well, but if you want up front and pungent Belgian this is certainly it. Rich caramel overwhelms and the ABV is not exactly hidden, but compliments. Fruity, possibly some orange peel or corriander, and malty but this one is probably all about the yeast.
Generally aggressive beer, the carbonation is no different. Necessary, though.
Again, a year of age to mellow would be welcome. If you can still get your hands on it.

Poured into a goblet. BBE 2011.
3.5 A: Murky light brown color. A finger and a half of foamy off-white head that fell quickly. Oh well, this is a big beer, I'll cut it some slack.
3.5 S: Toastiness and caramel lead the way. Yeasty breadiness. Candied dark fruits, but no fruit really sticks out. It's more of a generic fruitiness, though if I had to pick, I'd say dates were the focus. Peppery from the yeast. Not a lot of complexity, but it's still quite pleasant. The booze is hidden quite well.
3.5 T: Same major flavors as the nose. Toastiness, caramel, candied dates and other assorted fruit, and hints of vanilla. Peppery spiciness and breadiness from the yeast. You can taste the booze, but it doesn't seem like it's 12%.
3.75 M: Lighter medium body. Good moderate carbonation with a nice spritziness to it. Smooth for how potent it is.
3.25 D: It's good, but there's better out there. Worth a try if you stumble upon it.

Pours a rich, saturated orange-ish color with dark specks of plant matter floating around; translucent with a small (but thick) off-white head.
Nose: fruit; hops; ethanol.
Taste: honey; bourbon; brandy; apple; pear; mace; wood; hops. Mostly sweet, but with a slight nuance of sourness & tang. A fair amount of spice and bitterness that lingers on the back of the tongue somewhat sharply.
Mouthfeel is excellent! Creamy, fine bubbles with good retention coat the tongue and roof of the mouth nicely.
Overall, I liked this: big, complex flavors with a creative and intriguing palate; great look and feel. On the flipside, the ale could be a little more balanced: sugar and sharpness tended to dominate toward the end of the bottle, thus it wasn't as drinkable as Scaldis Tripel. Nevertheless, a fine ale and worth a try.

This is an excellent, strong, complex beer. the first time I had it, it didn't seem possible it was 12%. By the second beer, it was clear, hte alcohol was an integral part of its makeup. The third time, I knew what I was in for. Lots of strong flavors, gorgeous color, a big beer. Just looks perfect in a Duvel glass. I could and will drink this often. Let no man stand in my way. Yum.

You have to read George.
George Nelson posing for Herman Miller advertisement "Traveling Men," ca. 1954. Courtesy of Vitra Design Museum Archive.
At last week's Yale symposium about George Nelson, one message was clear: You have to read George. In other words, George the writer trumps George the architect, George the designer and George the teacher, combined.
For two days, scholars, design nerds, editors and Murray Moss (there is no label to define him) talked about the legacy of this American icon. Known mainly for his furniture and design work for Herman Miller, Nelson also wrote and edited for Architectural Forum, Fortune, Pencil Points, Life and McCall's, and co-authored the bestselling Tomorrow's House with Henry Wright.
Cover of November 1959 issue of Architectural Forum, where George Nelson was associate editor (1935-1943) and consulting editor (1944-1949).
Nelson's unapologetic, unflinching style is immediately clear in Tomorrow's House, which begins: "This book has a point of view which may seem strange to you. What it is will be made pretty clear in the first few pages of this introduction. If, after reading that far, the viewpoint seems not only strange, but unpalatable as well, put this book aside and forget it, for what we have to say will not be for you."
He continues, "Today's house is a peculiarly lifeless affair. The picture one sees in residential neighborhoods the country over is one of drab uniformity: pathetic little white boxes with dressed-up street fronts, each striving for individuality through meaningless changes in detail or color. The reason today's house is so uninteresting is simply that it fails to echo life as we live it. Expressed in another way, it is hideously inefficient. Less honest thought goes into the design of the average middle-class house than into the fender of a cheap automobile."
You have to read George.
According to professor John Harwood of Oberlin College, Nelson's fascination with design extended to other areas, and he even hosted an ABC television program called "How to Kill People." I did a quick search for archival materials and quickly discovered that "how to kill people" is not something you should google – especially at work – so you'll just have to take Harwood's word for it. Worth noting, even in this program, Nelson's concepts were said to have been expressed with brilliance, wit and verve.
As for the exhibition, George Nelson: Architect, Writer, Designer, Teacher is worth the trip to Yale. It's also a treat to explore the Yale School of Architecture building designed by Paul Rudolph.
Paul Rudolph Hall was completed in 1963. The Yale campus also includes buildings by Louis Kahn and Marcel Breuer, and a hockey rink by Eero Saarinen.
The interior and exterior walls of this Brutalist building are made of hammered concrete aggregate, creating an interesting, and oddly soothing, textural pattern. The layout of the rooms, however is a bit choppy and, perhaps due to later renovations, there is a lack of intuitive flow from one space to the next.
George Nelson believed that a space is successful when it's done with love. I don't know if Rudolph's heart was aflutter when designing this building for Yale, but the passion expressed inside its walls makes up for the possible indifference.
The curious appearance of a martini glass on the ledge. Perhaps Nelson, who was a Yale graduate and a fan of martinis, still haunts these halls...
I wish I could say we were seated in Womb Chairs, shown here in the student lounge, but our interest in George Nelson was tested by the brutal seating in Paul Rudolph's Brutalist building. Described beautifully by author Ralph Caplan, who said, "One of the pleasures of speaking at this symposium is that you get a chance to get out of these seats." (You also have to read Ralph, but I'll save that post for another day.)
A gift for you: I found an online version of Nelson's Tomorrow's House through Open Library. Enjoy!
