I’m trying to determine whether I can work this into the THESIS or not, but either way this is pretty cool. Fans of the long-running Stargate SG-1 already know that Sci-Fi canned the series last year, which means that this will be the show’s 10th and final season. Sad, but 10 years is a hell […]

Newsarama has an excellent interview with the super-prolific Brian Michael Bendis, who is responsible for everything from Powers to Jinx to Ultimate Spider-Man to the most recent animated Spider-Man series. My favorite bit is the following exchange: DF: You’ve anticipated a question of mine. You’re clearly not a guy who’s using comics as a stepping […]

Another case study for the THESIS (and one of the final papers for this term): Battlestar Galactica: Tom Zarek is a four-issue transmedia extension that explores Zarek’s origins.
So I’m chugging through the truly excellent book Writing for Animation, Comics and Games by the inimitable Christy Marx, which I’m expecting to serve as a cornerstone for a decent-sized chunk of my THESIS. I was a good ways into the “Writing for Games” chunk when I came across this passage, which made me literally […]

This is the first in what I’m hoping will be a long series of entries here that serve as mini-reviews of the texts I’m reading for my THESIS. For the first batch, I’m going to be focusing on writing for comics; I’m taking a class on comics this term with CMS co-head Henry Jenkins, so […]

Quick bit of research for the THESIS: Serenity Tales is a site dedicated to fan comics for Joss Whedon’s Firefly/Serenity universe. Transmedia storytelling + user-generated content = hottt.

Yesterday was, all things considered, a fairly great day. The meeting and class scheduled for that afternoon were both canceled, so I suddenly had the opportunity to catch up on my coursework and other various projects – so catch up I did. I ran errands, I updated websites, I posted some new shots to Flickr, […]

I have in my hand the registration form for my third quarter at MIT. The list of classes on here are much different than last year. A full load is four classes, in the Spring semester I took seven, and this semester i’m taking five. So I’m still technically overloaded, but I’m being a smart […]
It’s been a while since I’ve made any reflective posts about media and my thoughts on such things. This is largely due to my spending most of my days up to my neck in the subject – when you spend all your time swimming in this stuff, it becomes difficult to pull back and really […]
