Batman: The Brave and the Bold

This Batman-based series must be an apology from Warner Brothers’ animation division because I hated the last one (The Batman), mainly for having the same design/style as the boring Jackie Chan cartoon. I never could get past the pilot and … Continue reading

A “spotted” owl in the dollar bill

We didn’t have any luck getting pictures of the 43 presidents miniaturized on my co-worker’s green card because they’re drawn on a reflective surface which was the original plan this week; all the pictures came back as just black. However, … Continue reading

Nelson’s youngest boy has his first birthday. Course, it’s late and I’m tired so I could be wrong in this haze of fatigue! Seriously though. Marcus is a good kid. I know Nelson was ecstatic over this addition to his … Continue reading

I missed the fireball

Actually, I didn’t hear about this until Monday night. Pretty scary looking but I knew it wasn’t a satellite since they aren’t large enough to make such visible debris. I figured it was a meteor yet there wasn’t much to … Continue reading

The joke was on me…

I guess we do need a new TV

Even the Simpsons got a makeover on their trademark opening sequence for the show’s first, real HD broadcast. The animators were able to take advantage of the new extended space on the screen. Maybe the show will still be on … Continue reading
