  • BTS: My lovely letterer in action

    So here is the lady that really made Suzi happen.  She lit a creative fire that is burning strong!

    My editor and letterer. She keeps me focused.
  • Issue 1 final cover

    After going thru the process of getting Suzi on Comixology (still ongoing…) I have been able to sit back and take the editorial advice I have been given about the first issue. Overall, it was some minor technical issues (font choice, some artifacting from the rendering process that I missed) that I am reworking.

    In looking at the cover, it just didn’t fit the story, so here is the new version of the Issue 1 cover.

    What do you think?

  • Sunday Science: Smart girls rock!

    All too often we are seeing stories about how schools are taking their inane zero tolerance policies to the degree that is ridiculous. Case in point, Kiera Wilmot was arrested after conducting a simple science experiment. I commend Kiera and her family for weathering the stupidity of the Polk County School District. This bunch of so-called “educators” lost all common sense. You can read about it here.

    Schools today should be doing everything in their power to encourage all kids to get into science. The US is outsourcing our intellect to other countries, and we are going to pay a heavy price for it. Young science enthusiasts should be nurtured and guided into rewarding and challenging careers, not treated like criminals.
    Thankfully, Kiera and her family stayed true to their convictions, and aided by a huge uproar and the spotlight of the national media, they were able to have a very nice outcome to a very unnecessary situation.

    We salute you, Girls of Science!

  • Suzi on Saturday

    Sorry guys,

    We are in the process of packing to move, and I fell behind on my writing this week.  I will have a special Suzi up on Saturday, along with updates to the site.  I will also throw in a sneak peek at our snazzy new decoder wheel and other cool gear for you to play with.  Next week, we will be back on a normal Tuesday/Thursday update cycle.

  • Inspirations: UFO!

    I have always loved futurism, especially when it’s retro styled.  Gerry Anderson’s UFO was one of my favorite series when I was a kid.  I remember when this theme music came on, I would make a beeline straight for the TV.  I think the Interceptors were about my favorite of the ships, but the Mobiles came in a very close second. While the story lines were kinda thin, the model ships and sets rocked, and you can’t beat purple hair and silver mini-skirts…

     

  • Sunday Science: This *could* be huge

    The Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics has called for a press conference to say that it has some big news.  Many in the science community are speculating that the information could involve the discovery of gravitational waves.  These waves are some of the last that Einstein predected that have yet to be discovered.

    You can read more about it here, as well as get a link to the press conference on Monday the 17th.  I will follow up next week with the results of the announcement.
