Working late
The office is in crunch mode. They’ve offered us time-and-a-half for staying late, so that’s what I’ve been doing. I got to use a new piece of software today, a sort of specialized CAD program for simulating texture mapping on a 2D image.
Also been looking at the Sony Clié TJ37. Anyone got any experience using a Clié with a Mac? I’ve already got Palm Desktop; will it just sync right up?
Picked up the latest Promethea, and man, that title’s just getting better as it comes to the end of its run. I also picked up the first issue of Street Angel, but haven’t read it yet.
This was at the Forbidden Planet, where I failed to find the fourth Kane volume. I found the third at Jim Hanley’s the other day — Histories, which shows us the early life (and near death) of Oliver Darke, the mob boss who’s Kane’s arch-nemesis. Not much comedy in this volume, but oh, the bits we learn about the backstory!
Something I got last week but forgot to write about: Tiny Giants, a collection of short pieces by Nate Powell. I can’t say I liked the writing; Powell’s sure in love with the sound of his own voice, and tends towards pseudo-poetic sentences that don’t say as much as they seem to. But damn, the sumbitch can draw. Lots of fine hatched linework and well-placed solid blacks.
