PStwo: kinda

At a pre-TGS announcement party, Sony finally showed off their new, long-rumored PS2 (apparently not “PStwo” as many have speculated). It has reduced the overall volume of the previous form factor by 75%. It has a built-in ethernet adaptor (and an analog modem in the North American version). Holy crap, Sony can make hardware sexy; I own a PSX, and I still want this new thing. If they ever make one in milk-white, like my PSX and iBook, I'm doomed.

Tony diTerlizzi and classic D&D monsters

The sixth entry of his series on drawings of classic D&D monsters is up. He's one of my favorite fantasy artists. His work tends toward the charming and cozy, rather than others' focus on machismo or melodrama.

sad fate

“Our legendary personalities are evergreen ‘brands’ with the benefit of worldwide recognition,” reads a message on the Richman agency’s website. Guardian UK Article *vomits* Where is the line drawn between “public figure” and “celebrity”? How can a dead person have an agent, particulary where there are no specific works concerned other than a sense of character? It’s one thing to insist that Duck Soup is a work that should be protected (which any more simply means controlled by whomever has the most buX0rs), but shouldn’t personalities and such pass into the public domain as well?
