Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries …. <\/p>\n

  1. The Remnants Of Katrina: An Abandoned Theme Park : The Two-Way : NPR<\/a> – Yeah, that’s creepy.<\/li>\n
  2. You’ll Believe a Man Can Take a Sabbatical: J. Michael Straczynski Leaves Monthly Comics – ComicsAlliance | Comics culture, news, humor, commentary, and reviews<\/a> – I haven’t been wowed by either the Superman or Wonder Woman storylines (nor, for that matter, by the Earth One GN) — not turned off, just not wowed. I have a sense that, between comics and movie scripting (and health issues), JMS has stretched himself too thin — if so, pulling back a bit and focusing on more limited titles is a good idea. Still irked that we haven’t seen the oft-promised second half of “The Twelve,” though.<\/li>\n
  3. \u2018Battlestar Galactica\u2019 Producer Ron Moore Sells New Series to NBC; Sets Up \u2018Wild Wild West\u2019 Reboot at CBS<\/a> – A lot of it really depends on the approach he takes to WWW. If he does the shift to ingenious seriousness that he did with BSG, it could be pretty remarkable.<\/li>\n
  4. HDTVs Are Popular, But HD Programming Is Not<\/a> – Interesting. We have HD, but we watch most shows in SD — largely because we watch most shows via the DVR and I only program for the (much larger) HD shows when it’s something that will benefit by it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
