1. Today I read Will Eisner's "A Contract With God", an early graphic novel about life in a New York tenement. While I liked it, I was a little put off by the art, which felt too heavy handed for the material, and the unnecessary sex and violence which distracted from the drama. A good idea, especially in the final tale "Cookalein", but one that needed some editing and polishing.
2. Becky called to tell me that All Things Considered had a segment about the "Milk" shoot. Click here to listen to it (if you have Flash blocking enabled it won't work). You can hear Sean Penn doing some of the lines we heard yesterday. If you know what Harvey Milk sounded like, it's eerie how close he gets it.
3. While poking around archive.org today I found a video from almost 19 years ago: The Computer Chronicles, Atari ST Update. Program # 619U 8/02/89 At 8:55 in, Jim Kent loads an animation element I created and mentions me by name.
