Vampires are over, argues Neil Gaiman. (Via the Guardian, who rather oddly suggest the similarly over-exposed zombies as a replacement)

Rob Zombie claims to own the word "zombie." I call dibs on "elf".

Just look at the face: it's vacant, with a hint of sadness. Like a drunk who's lost a bet.

Flash Friday: Remember Sonny? Well, the sequel, Sonny 2, is out. Sonny 2 picks up where Sonny left off. You are Sonny, an intelligent zombie. You are trying to figure out what is on a tape that someone gave you. There are a bunch of people/things trying to kill you. I'm pretty sure that Sonny has been on the blue before, but I can't find it for the life of me.

Baaaaaaaaigai!

Of Neil Gaiman and Infinite Canvas

filthy light thief — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 10:59:02 -0800

The Day the Saucers Came was originally published in 2006, in the (now defunct) EZine Spider Words 1, no. 2. Neil Gaiman has read the story aloud, on occasion. In December 2008, the story was made into a poster by a Finnish artist. That poster was then transformed into a fancy Flash presentation on Microsoft's Infinite Canvas ("A Funky Side Project from Microsoft Live Labs"). Infinite canvas was originally the theory that digital comics had no limit, credited to Scott McCloud's book, Reinventing Comics. As noted in comments on the Gaiman comic, Daniel Merlin Goodbrey's Tarquin Engine (previous) predates this by four years or so. And oddly enough, back in September 2008, there was an interview with Scott McCloud about Google Chrome entitled "The Infinite Canvas," referring to Chrome as a mechanism to further the possibilities for breaking the format limitations for comics. Then again, Microsoft's Touch Wall was demo'd back in May 2008, but as a very large physical touch-screen instead of a Flash-based presentation method.

Le territoire des morts

Korou — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 20:22:56 -0800

Portraiture of the living dead. [some NSFW; via Bygone Bureau] The zombies are drawn by Frederik Peeters. Peeters makes bandes dessinées, equivalent to comics/graphic novels. This Swiss artist has published Pilules Bleues (Blue Pills), a quasi-autobiographical story of a couple falling in love and the HIV that changes their lives; Lupus, where a twenty-something goes on an intergalactic fishing trip; Koma, in which a girl explores hidden worlds under the chimneys her father cleans; RG, based on Pierre Dragon's crime fighting experience; and Ruminations, a collection of 20 short stories. Official bibliography.

Steeerike 'em in the head!

Survive the Outbreak: Interactive zombie movie. At certain points of the movie you will be prompted to make a choice. What would you do? You'll most certainly die, but at least you get to come back and try again. *NSFW due to profanity.

Regrets? I have a few, but then again...

Zigzag Zombie.

As part of the recent Dutch Design Week, students were instructed to produce an original typeset using thin, flat material (metal strips, tape, toilet paper, etc.) and then "pick one location, and create a large scale zigzag lettering and make passersby hallucinate."

Devil's Breath

thanatogenous — Mon, 27 Aug 2007 00:04:31 -0800

Burundanga (NSFW, video). Arguably the worlds most sinister drug. Under its influence you remain lucid and articulate yet absolutely compliant to any suggestion. When your 'trip' is over, you have no recollection of what has transpired. The "Devil's Breath" is an admixture of Scopolamine, a chemical that was experimented with, for its interrogative properties, by both the C.I.A. and Josef Mengele. For at least the past two decades, Burundanga has been a major component of Colombia's criminal element.

Everybody loves Zombies. Everybody loves killing Zombies. Nobody wants to suddenly wake up surrounded by Zombies. Not when you thought you were just playing a video game.

Carnival of brains

We've seen zombie flash mobs and zombie flash games (this awesome post deserves a resurrection - pun intended - for Halloween)... even zombie awareness products and laser controlled headless zombie flies. But do zombies really exist? This video makes a sound case.

BOO!
