up-date Chris was discharged from hospital on Friday and is now at home with me. Thank you for getting me though the most difficult time of my life. And for not giving up on him.
All our love A & C Fullard.

Comment on An Open Letter to London Topic by King

Update all, I just saw the episode of LondonTopic.ca on Netflix and tried visiting the site. The site is actually down and I’m assuming it went down in 2010 or 2011. They got a lot of bad press. Its really hard to build a news site when the target market is small and the site doesn’t keep up with the times and the expectations of visitors online today.

That. Sounds. Horrible.

Onwards and upwards for the rest of 2012!

Comment on DC Digital – You’re Doing It Wrong by brian

I used to buy the single issues just because of the episodic nature of comics.

Hardcover was a replacement for the single issues (and I find I enjoy reading an entire story at once without having to dig through eight months of comics to do that).

Digital was a convenience/price thing. They were .99 each, and I wanted to read them then and there. That’s it.

Now I think that Digital will end up replacing issues 1 and 2 for me for 90% of things. You can read them as they’re released, and re-read them as collections all at once, with the added benefit of not having to keep the actual physical artifacts lying around!

More importantly is why you feel proud of the fact that you purchased the same product 3 times.

Did you get the exact same thrill each time reading it on a new medium ?

Or you just think DC needs more of your cash ?

Sorry for your loss. It sounds like she was a wonderful, dynamic woman. Treasure your memories.

Comment on My Favourite Comics of 2011 by Liam

Flashpoint (and KOV) were both great. B&R agreed, is one of the best ongoing books. But you missed Marvel’s Daredevil. It’s old school and lyrical and who would have thought deviating from Miller’s dark template would be so rewarding?

Comment on How to Create an Online PVR by Brian G

I’ve had a solution like what you’re talking about for about 8 years, but I’ve kind of outgrown it.

My set up used to be a custom HTPC with Windows 7, and a Hauppauge 500 double TV tuner and a 2TB hard drive, we used Windows 7 Media Center (and back in the day an X-Box running XBMC, the precursor to Boxee).

It was cool and all, I really liked it, but the overhead of having a machine on all the time recording TV isn’t something I really want, I’d rather just go out and grab TV shows, and watch them when I want to watch them.
