Found it in the oversized shelves at the Library. It’s big but doesn’t seem bigger than the Fantastic Four Omnibus, but much thinner.

I liked the story but felt the illustrations weren’t digitized well. Bruce would like this book.

Very pretty but I can’t say I’ve learned much.

I dig that the author illustrates the entirety of nearly every page in the book.

Unfortunately the second two stories did not have the vision of the first. Nothing notable really happens.

The first story (Atlantis) is just a poorly written promotional tool for the game. The next story is much better.
Erik is on page 86 of 352 of Indiana Jones Omnibus... →
The authors seem to want a whole film plot to fit into one comic. Dozens of scenes that could have been a whole issue to themselves.

First impression: Indy looks like Reagan, Marcus like Nixon.
City Of Somerville - Household Hazardous Waste →
Today I learned that any retailer that sells motor oil us required to take used oil with accompanying receipt and that CFL bulbs should not be disposed with regular trash.

Some great all–purpose reference charts for brushes, via the terrific article, “Bear Tools, Part III” by Kevin Cornell. See also Part I and Part II and the unaffiliated but fantastic The Tools Artists Use blog.

Free Film @ MIT - 2001: A Space Odyssey →
I would LOVE to go to this but I’m going to see Mind Wheel tonight, which I am also looking forward to.
2001: A Space Odyssey will be preceded by a talk by MIT Professor Dava Newman. This FREE event is part of the Giant Leaps: The 40th Anniversary of the Apollo Moon Landing series, and is sponsored by the MIT Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics.
Half-Blood Prince moved forward to July 15th →
I’m actually way more excited than I had been for previous films because it means that I get more chances to see my spirit totem, Luna Lovegood, on–screen.
