Greg Pak Talks About Giving Away His 'Vision Machine' Comic for Free in Digital AND Print

Greg Pak Talks About Giving Away His 'Vision Machine' Comic for Free in Digital AND Print [Exclusive Interview] - ComicsAlliance:

"When a fan on Twitter who enjoyed it asked where he could purchase the print version, Pak responded by saying 'Digital only at the moment. We're printing a trade later in the year and distributing for FREE at fests/conventions.'"

That's not the only impact of doing a book under the Creative Commons license, either. If you've been paying attention to the controversies over digital rights and distribution, this is kind of a big deal, especially coming from one of comics' most prominent writers, so ComicsAlliance spoke to Pak about it to find out a little more about what he's doing.

There was one track I heard that sounded like it was underwater and seemed to have fish sounds on it but I was also on mushrooms at the time, so who knows?

In any case, you should think of them as a punk-as-fuck fireball coming towards the UK at a vast speed. Brace yourselves."

"the first feature-length movie in Blender – or in Open Source 3D in general.

The project seemed to have died a silent death about a year and a half ago. It now turns out though that a new team of people has finished the movie in secrecy and indications are that it’ll premiere on February 18th."

Ustream iPhone App Is Finally Here!

Over the last year, Ustream has sought to extend its reach into the mobile arena, and the company has introduced video-recording and viewing iPhone apps, but its latest offering allows true live broadcasting to multiple viewers. You can begin recording video on your phone, stream it to the Web, and allow any number of people to watch it as it happens. You can include your GPS location with the broadcast as well.

Neil Gaiman Crowdsourcing a Short Story Via Twitter

Coraline author Neil Gaiman wants to make a writer out of you.

His means for penning his upcoming project are as creative as the gems in his copious portfolio, only he can't claim all the credit for this one. Starting today at noon EDT, the writer began encouraging people to tweet in their 140-character contributions for his next short story, which BBC Audiobooks America will later garner into an audio book.

Gaiman (@neilhimself), who is already well established in the Twitter realm, will tweet the opening line and fans will be able to continue the story as they wish. BBC will log about 1,000 contributions into a script that will be edited and prepared to be read by a professional narrator.

Currently there is no talk of releasing the story in print form, but the audio edition will be available for free download at the BBC site, iTunes and other audiobook distributors before the end of the year.
