Comic Book Review: All Star Superman
All Star Superman is written by Grant Morrison, drawn by Frank Quitely and inked by Jamie Grant.
This is a new run on the Superman character. Grant Morrison has earlier written ‘The Invisibles’ ‘The Filth’ and ‘New X-Men’.
The art is brilliant, very nice to look at. Superman especially look very cool, and I like how he appears to be all clumbsy as Clark Kent.
The stories is very well variated and each issue contains a good story, that aligns well with the over all plot.
But let me tell you this: I want to read more!
I specially like the part where Lex Luthor is being interviewed by Clark Kent.
Quote:
“How can you compete with something like that? I mean, feel these, Clarke. THIS is the result of hard work!”
Lex is letting Clark feel his biceps.
Rating: 4 out of 5.
A modern classic.
The list: Essential Software
What apps do you use?
These are the ones that I use most frequently:
- VideoLAN – Best video viewer ever! Can handle any codec you throw at it (almost)!
- Rhythmbox – Gnomes standard music player. Very good and solid.
- Geany – Light weight editor without the hassle.
- Filezilla – Easy and solid FTP client.
- Pidgin – Instant messaging for everyone!
- Firefox – Web browser
- Epiphany – Gnomes lighter web browser
- Thunderbird – Email client and address book
- Sunbird – Calender ( It handles iCal!)
- uTorrent – BitTorrent client (very light footprint)
- OpenOffice – Office apps
- Tracker – Search app (Extremely useful)
- Gizmo – Software SIP-phone. Much cooler than Skype!
Do I have to mention that I use Gnome?
Which do you prefer?
Radiohead – In Rainbows
Radiohead is releasing their next album on the 10th of October. They let you choose how much you want to pay for a download.
Smart!
It will be interesting to follow how their model work, and I also hope that the download is in FLAC or any other lossless format.
Words counts
Yesterday I talked to Hanna.
We talked about how the ultimate place (Garden of Eden) would be like:
“Yeah, well I want the food to be tasty and quite cheep. I want to be close to my friends (be able to bike to them), be close to the nature and the sea, have good access to IT, be able to take long walks in nice areas. If there is a rich mixture of animals, I would be happy. Yeah, and if got a warm climate, it would be good as well.”
“You know what you are talking about? It is called Gotland.”
“…! That’s the place where we grew up, heya!”
We are going back home.
