Scanning the clear sky with no moon in the way (it was behind us, covered by trees) and just a few stars sputtering into sight, we saw what was for both of us the brightest and the longest in duration meteorite ever seen. Looking northwest, Kat spotted a truly fast-moving object and for a second thought it was the station (coming the wrong way), but soon as the thought had passed it was obvious this was not the station. It was a bright sparkling meteorite probably skimming the atmosphere as it made small flashes tumbling across the sky above for what was probably a full 7 seconds or so. It was still visible as it tumbled beyond the visible horizon, managing to cover the full dome above. Perhaps a minute passed when the station then dragged its feet slowly with no trail across the path the meteorite had just passed, marking an X in the skies. It was about as magical an astronomical sight as either one of us had ever witnessed.</p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica;"></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica;">(not an actual photo of the event)</p></p>http://jtlindroos.tumblr.com/post/49105839626http://jtlindroos.tumblr.com/post/49105839626Sun, 24 Feb 2013 12:09:00 -0500JustMigrated<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/d6b3684aa90e1ed8f63c4050c4713960/tumblr_mlz7sjJJBy1qh5wh7o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><h2>Sequential Art Revue</h2><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica;">When I’m not rushing though freelance or dayjob design chores, I often like to relax with some Sequential Art. Graphic Novels. That lowliest of the low artforms. Comic books. Not the spandex-wearing caricatured superhuman kind, but mostly those of modern European or classic and independent American persuasion. Sometimes I also manage to review some of these books. </p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica;">A case in point: here’s my review of a collection of war stories Harvey Kurtzman wrote and sometimes illustrated for EC Comics back in the 50’s, at the time he was also busy founding MAD magazine:</p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica;"><a href="http://bit.ly/W7JdXZ">CORPSE ON THE IMJIN and OTHER STORIES</a></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica;">“His stories at their best illustrate the immorality of war, the man as the cog in the machine, crushed by the uncaring power that makes that machine turn … Taken out of the context of the book, you could read some of them as hymns of nationalistic pride, but when surrounded with such deep anti-war sentiment, you can widen your perspective and notice that even those stories can be looked at from a different angle. A story depicting heroism, racism or nationalism shouldn’t have to spell out that it doesn’t condone the actions of its characters. The ability of Kurtzman to have conflicting viewpoints to the myriad stories and situations within this volume is what makes it so rich.”</p> <p> </p>http://jtlindroos.tumblr.com/post/49105844948http://jtlindroos.tumblr.com/post/49105844948Tue, 15 Jan 2013 10:42:32 -0500JustMigratedcomicsfantagraphicsHarvey Kurtzmanreview<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/0b47636b545fa29544ee22768601f05f/tumblr_mlz7ssLikI1qh5wh7o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><h2>Skyfall</h2><p>Striking sunset tonight!

Not the apocalypse, but the shift in global consciousness. So maybe it’s only starting here in the US, but just looking at the violent rejection of the NRA Press conference today, and John Boehner’s “Plan B” throwing a pie in his and GOP’s face… maybe, just maybe the big ship of conservative and gun-happy USA is steering to port, to less nationalistic and more global waters. Just maybe those two apparently small events are what tilts the balance toward the next cycle in the Mayan calendar. </p> <p>It’s the end of the world as we know it. </p> <p>Peace. </p>http://jtlindroos.tumblr.com/post/49105879225http://jtlindroos.tumblr.com/post/49105879225Fri, 21 Dec 2012 13:21:00 -0500JustMigrated2012ApocalypseEnd of the WorldGOPMayan CalendarNRAPeace
